The house next door to me is going up for sale soon and I’d like to delay that process as much as possible. What would be the most annoying music I could play when prospective buyers are next door?
You need to look up Komar & Melamid. They did market research art, and they commissioned “The Least Favorite Song” after a survey that showed the least favorite features of songs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_People’s_Choice_Music#The_Most_Unwanted_Song
Turn on the radio (to a contemporary pop station) and you’ll see. Especially with all that christmas music right now.
German “Schlager”
Rap.
The noise genre
I always found noise music to be more intriguing than annoying. I still haven’t met a single person who listens to noise music and enjoys it.
Genuine question: What’s so fascinating about it? I’ve tried unironically listening to it, but there’s just no melody to latch onto; I wonder how one can enjoy it
I don’t know, the whole premise of it being somehow calming or something.
One user once tried to explain his fascination for Drone Doom to me; they said that it had a lot to do with feeling the “weight” of the music. Maybe it’s the same with noise? There’s something undeniably raw and visceral about it.
Noise Rock can be good, but only because the Rock part re-introduces actual musical elements.
If it won’t get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
No HOA thankfully. I’d paint my house with big, veiny, throbbing dicks if I thought it’d do the trick.
This indeed would probably do the trick
I mean honestly through a wall the only annoying music is thumpy bass with a big subwoofer. Unless you’re playing it suuuuuuper loud.
They’ll be looking at the backyard for this property so walls not needed. There’s only about 6 feet that will separate their property from my Bluetooth speakers.
Then kids bop.
Anything played with the recorder

I was thinking this one, thanks!
When German people go to hell, or skiing, they are forced into little tents, served shitty overpriced beer, and are subject to repeated blows to their ears by a type of parasitic earworm whispered fearfully only in dark circles as “schlagermusik”.
Once exposed to it, it eats into their brain and gets behind their eyeballs, forcing them to wear manic grins, and tap tables to the weak, incoherent, barely thought out beats drumming mercilessly into what’s left of their soul.

That’s pretty accurate, actually. Same goes for “Apres Ski”, which is the same but more annoying and sexist.
Years after leaving the German part of Switzerland I still get A!-tem!-los! in my head out of nowhere sometimes :(
Oo-la-pa-loo
I was going to say polka music but this is close enough
Oktoberfest?
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the Month of the Beast
For it is a Human Month…
It’s something that I don’t know whether it’s a dying subgenre ofa subgenre (genre?), but the nightcore music where all they do is speed up the music and shift the pitch. Literally no other edits. I would be running fast if a neighbor of mine started blasting that.
Why annoying?
Based on what kind of people they are, you might be able to get away with something else. Maybe play some Christian music if you think they don’t want to live next to a god-botherer. If you’re bible-belt, put one of those 24 hour Mecca livestreams on loud, and go do your grocery shopping or something.
If you want just plain annoying, you can’t go wrong with Justin Bieber or tween pop.
Christian music would definitely backfire where I’m from
I’d break out the heavy metal or anything else that sounds “demonic”
Christian Rock
There’s a McDonald’s down the block from me that plays nothing but Christian music all the damn time. I honestly feel bad for the employees.
Oml can’t stand that shet polluting the airwaves
A novelty Christmas song played six months after it spent six plus weeks at number one in the (TOTP) charts. “Aga do” anyone?
[Not sure that any recent charts in this century are worth a damn.]
Reggaeton
Cam here to say this. The beat was catchy the first time I heard it but it is so annoying when they repeat the same thing 200 times in a song. Not creative at all .
This. Most annoying thing I’ve ever heard.
