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?

    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 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.

    Turn on the radio (to a contemporary pop station) and you’ll see. Especially with all that christmas music right now.

      I would feel mostly meh about reggaeton if it wasn’t the one and only thing everyone ever hears in a 300km radius of where I live. It’s frankly sad that Latin America, having so much creativity and diversity in culture, ended up with such talentless noise as the absolutely dominant genre.

      It’s literally inescapable and an entire generation already only listens to reggaeton. It’s lazy and unpleasant, combined with a completely commercial mindset.

    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.

          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?”

          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.

    If it won’t get you in trouble, throw some cheap lawn ornaments up as well. Maybe get creative with loose hubcaps.

      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

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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.
