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.
Years after leaving the German part of Switzerland I still get A!-tem!-los! in my head out of nowhere sometimes :(
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
Clown Core is for those with discerning tastes.
I'm not certain about the most annoying, but this song is pretty bad
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.
Every Christmas song ever.
โWonderful Christmastimeโ by Paul McCartney is the worst song of all time and Iโm 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.
It is, and always will be, children's music, like Baby Shark.
Care to elaborate why?
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.
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.
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.
I mean honestly through a wall the only annoying music is thumpy bass with a big subwoofer. Unless you're playing it suuuuuuper loud.
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?"
EDIT: Reworded some confusing sentence construction
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'll raise "Sales Call Abyss", a hold music made for torturing telemarketers if you have access to your work's phone exchange
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 Iโm from
I'd break out the heavy metal or anything else that sounds "demonic"
Why try to delay it? Also trying to buy a house in this economy sheesh
If it won't get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
Opera singing and high pitched violin
Skrillex
If you really want the sale to not happen, put any brazilian funk on max volume. "Proibidรฃo" for the worst of the worst
