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.
Oktoberfest?
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the Month of the Beast
For it is a Human Month...
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
Reggaeton
Every Christmas song ever.
“Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney is the worst song of all time and I’m willing to die on this hill
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.
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
If it won't get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
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.]
Rap and hip-hop. The "message" of EVERY rap song is "look at my dick." It's pathetic pointless crap, that's one step above banging rocks together.
Rap.
*takes extra deep breath
Fuck I hated middle school
I have a love-hate relationship with that song. I'll have to purge with a doco later, thanks! 😁
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.
My highschool blasted Christmas in Ignace - Arrogant Worms every single day during fundraising drives, they'd stop when they hit their goals. Was very effective.
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
Limburg Carnaval music. Hoompapa hoompapa…or Darude - Sandstorm on repeat.
Anything played with the recorder
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.
Opera singing and high pitched violin
I have to go with dubstep. Clown Core is interesting, but it still has sections that are clearly music. Dubstep is just noise.
L opinion. some dubstep is just noise. A lot of it has a lot of beautiful harmony and songwriting. Black midi is a lot more like "just noise"
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.
If you really want the sale to not happen, put any brazilian funk on max volume. "Proibidão" for the worst of the worst
happy hardcore
For me, it has to do with context.
Upbeat pop music while heading to the finish line of a 5k? Pretty good.
Upbeat pop music while I'm waiting in the psychiatrist's office so I can tell them my life is spiraling out of control? Not preferable.
Nyam cat for sure
The soundtrack to The Music Man
Skrillex
chicken dance it whatever the hell it's called
It's not necessarily the most annoying- but to give an impression that you are people you do not want to live next to, just crank some psytrance. I love me a good doof party, but holy shit I would not want to live next to one.
Scat
Nightcore and heavy mental.
You will Annoy the shit out of people if you play this, especially '@@@@@' at full volume
Baaabyyyyyy SHARK! Dolodolldoo, Baby shark dolldollodoo, baby shark !
This is not a judgement of the musical genre and I think it's way more profound and expressive than the average commodified pop music we have. However, I remember making a report about the history of music (for an arts appreciation class in college) and I ended the report with some Japanoise (a genre of noise music) like this one:
The teacher was really delighted, but my classmates were like "WTF?"
