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 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.

      That’s pretty accurate, actually. Same goes for “Apres Ski”, which is the same but more annoying and sexist.

    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.

      This is just… racism?

      Its easy to find sexuality-focussed songs in literally any genre, from classical to jazz. And one of the most highly regarded hip hop tracks of all time is 2pacs ode to his mother.

        No, it’s just shit music. Thanks for playing the “racism” game.

          No, you immediately squealed “racism” rather than make an argument for the contributions of rap / hiphop. I imagine this tactic has worked for you many times.

            You picked a racist trope about a predominantly black genre. It is a very common racist stereotype dating back hundreds of years to claim that people of African (and other black) heritage are more sexually aggressive than other cultures.

            Even if you didn’t intend it, or weren’t aware of that, I am telling you now there is a well documented history of such intent.

          That is a different point entirely. Your initial criticism was that the lyrical content was only about penises, now you’re saying that your subjective preference is the only consideration on a wide umbrella genre-of-genres.

          Why should anyone care that you’re saying “I don’t like thing?”

      Family member wants to buy it and we want to dissuade other potential buyers. Plus the old owners are dicks so fuck ‘em.

            Hey uh, this plan can get you sued under tortious interference. So remember to not brag about it. Also much better way is just to take up a noisy hobby like woodworking, drumming or fixing motorbikes.

      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.

    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

    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.

    Not sure about annoying, but have you considered psyopus? It tends to be my goto to piss people off
