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
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.
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.
Calm down satan.
(Top answer though)
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.
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.
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?
Bagpipes
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
Skrillex
If it won't get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.
Clown Core is for those with discerning tastes.
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"
It is, and always will be, children's music, like Baby Shark.
Limburg Carnaval music. Hoompapa hoompapaโฆor Darude - Sandstorm on repeat.
Modern pop country
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.]
