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?
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 music whispered fearfully only in dark circles as schlagermusik.
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

That’s pretty accurate, actually. Same goes for “Apres Ski”, which is the same but more annoying and sexist.
Oktoberfest?
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the Month of the Beast
For it is a Human Month…
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.
Earthbound - Inside Dungeon Man
Love the soundtrack but hate this doozy
Speaking of video games, This from World of Goo might work if OP wants a bit more subtlety.
The beginning (end is similar) is the only part that’s in the game and despite sounding pretty generic it somehow manages to be deeply unsettling in some way.
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”
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.]
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.
Can’t go wrong with the Goat Simulator soundtrack. https://youtu.be/DHdpuzqD2wg
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.
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
Anything played with the recorder
happy hardcore
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.
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
How can you not love this? ;D
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?”
