Have you ever noticed that the average teenager is immune to distortion
as long as they can have the volume up full blast? With those earplugs
we are going to have a lot of early deaf people. My granddaughter tried
to show me what she was listening to by plugging her earplugs into my
ear and I recoiled in pain.

I have worked with a huge number of PA operators who have no ability to
judge level, except by distortion. They bring the system up to the point
where it's starting to clip, and leave it there.

Give them a system that has huge amounts of headroom and they use it all
up. The end result is the same bad sound, just louder.
