The house next door to me is going up for sale soon and Iโ€™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?

Reggae can be fun, especially to dance to, but when heard through a wall, you mostly hear the bass and all reggae has the same bass track. It's almost comical, like that beat is a requirement of the genre. After hours of reggae you'll wanna smash that stereo.

Alright. Y'all ever hear about the shaggs?

A dad was told by a fortune teller that his yet-unborn kids were destined for musical stardom. After that, the dad had no choice but to force his eventual kids into a band.

These kids had no musical training. No sense of rhythm, no sense of pitch.

Their released music is the auditory equivalent of a child's crayon drawing hung on the fridge. It's astoundingly disjointed. It's all wrong. Frank Zappa said they're better than the Beatles. SOMEONE out there likes screamo. Some folks out there like bagpipes. Then what happens? Your neighbor loves blasting screamo. You've played yourself. Unless Frank Zappa is moving in, you'd be hard pressed to find a potential buyer that like the shaggs.

Enjoy.

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.

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.

I'm just going to say Nightcore.

I get that Nightcore has an audience, but what makes it annoying for me is when I am trying to search for an obscure song and think I've found it, only to realize that it's yet another low-effort nightcore remix.

[โ€“] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I'm not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad

[โ€“] davidgro@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Exactly what I expected. Saved me from posting it, thank you.

A low pitched hum that they don't even notice until they leave and appreciate the silence when they're away from it.

I submit that these songs aren't necessarily terrible but terribly overplayed to the point that they're painful.

I swear half of Mariah Carey's fortune is Christmas songs alone.

Also the whole "Boomers spent their entire lives and our entire lives trying to re-live their own childhood Christmases," since the majority of original Christmas songs are from that period.

Also some people love Christmas music so this could backfire.

They want to dissuade buyers by being a conspicuously noisy and annoying neighbor to the point that the house sits empty for a while.

Which, like, if your first thought is to do this, maybe you actually are an annoying neighbor and you're doing everyone a favor by letting them know.

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

Hey at least they're open with it. I'd have love to have known that my neighbours were cunts before I'd move in. Sometimes a simple sign short of a burning poop bag is a nice olive branch.

[โ€“] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

They are going to only get neighbors that also suck, and since it has to sell lower it will lower their own home value.

OP is really punching their own nutsack here.

Just play loud ass black metal. The music doesn't have to be bad, It just needs to scare normies.

Edit: I thought of the most annoying music ever. Crunkcore! Play some Blood on the Dancefloor and people will fuck off to avoid listening to that shit.

There's always the risk that people who visit the house next door are into whatever annoying music you're playing and end up moving there and blasting it for the rest of your life

I'll raise "Sales Call Abyss", a hold music made for torturing telemarketers if you have access to your work's phone exchange

I mean honestly through a wall the only annoying music is thumpy bass with a big subwoofer. Unless you're playing it suuuuuuper loud.

What's that dolphin-sounding song someone played during sex in that meme? That.

Alternatively, the brown note (assuming it's real).

Or like hardcore noise stuff. Is "Wall of sound" a type of it?

Edit: How could I forget Ram Ranch?

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%27s_Choice_Music#The_Most_Unwanted_Song

I would feel mostly meh about reggaeton if it wasn't the one and only thing everyone ever hears in a 300km radius of where I live. It's frankly sad that Latin America, having so much creativity and diversity in culture, ended up with such talentless noise as the absolutely dominant genre.

It's literally inescapable and an entire generation already only listens to reggaeton. It's lazy and unpleasant, combined with a completely commercial mindset.

[โ€“] A_Chilean_Cyborg 1 points 6 days ago

I'm a huge fan of southamerican rock, and sadly is true that it has been drawn by that misogynistic shit.

But bands like Los 3 are still live and so many people still hear them, there is hope.

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 Iโ€™m from

[โ€“] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago

I'd break out the heavy metal or anything else that sounds "demonic"

[โ€“] deathbird@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If it won't get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
