Isn't that what their New Year's Day parade is for? These dudes need to get a life.

There is a competitive aspect of the parade. The serenade is to honor the winning brigade. It's a long standing part of Philadelphia culture and something many people value. Stop trying to dilute and diminish Philly's culture.

"Wowwww get a life dudes"

i mean i say this as a guy trying to get his kid to nap while they march up and down the block dancing and drinking and blasting music so i get why people see it as an intrusion. idk. i kind of like the revelry though.
