I always thought I would hate music during pickleball, then they had a high school football game going on next to our courts during rec play one evening , not sure if the term is correct but we were totally jammin! Definitely too distracting for competitive play, but good training perhaps at blocking out distractions such as crowd noise etc....
I agree with the “read the room” thing. I think it is ok for non-offensive music (classic rock tends to be ok with many) to be played for people waiting to sub in…as long as it is only background noise (not loud) so that can be heard if trying to listen but can easily be ignored if talking or not paying attention
Pickleball is also great for getting into shape. I have been playing about 4 hours a day 3 days a week for about 5 months now and I've lost almost 40 lbs. I should see the under side of 200 lbs for the first time in two decades within a month or two.
I started playing as the way to get into shape. Now I’m starting to do little workouts in spare moments to get more in shape for pickleball. Another upside is how good it’s been for my joints. I was born with bad knees and hips, so when I first started I wasn’t able to play more than an hour once or twice a week. Now I can play 12 hours a week with zero joint pain because the muscles around my joints are strong enough to support them. I can even climb stairs now without grunting like an old man.
True about peoples poor taste in music, don't need overly vulgar/violent stuff playing on the adjacent courts while people are playing with grandma or the kids.. Gotta "read the room" kinda thing with music in public. 😅

That’s great to hear and very encouraging for other players! Thanks for sharing 😆
