Distortion as an effect is acceptable when using an electric guitar
and overdriving the pre-amp stage to create a sound rich in harmonics and the distinctive fuzzy sound of a modern rock guitar.

Distortion caused by a Vauxhall Corsa factory fit stereo being turned up to max while playing bass-heavy dubstep is conversely not a good sound and while it does make people turn around and look at you, they're more likely to think 'What a twat' instead of the 'Wow, look at that tricked out groovemobile' effect you were hoping to evoke.

p.s. Adding a subwoofer does not remedy the situation.
