Jagat Patel, 54, 7-11 owner in Austin, Texas.


Deterring the homeless who congregate and poop around his store by playing music through outdoor speakers 24 hours a day, seems to be working for Jagat Patel.

All other problems having been solved or abandoned, such as "what direction should toilet-paper hang" and "what is the best lawn-mowing pattern", highly-trained and very-serious scientists, according to Jagat Patel, have appatently turned their attentions - -more than once, note the plural-- to conducting expensive studies to determine exactly what kind of music is the MOST annoying.

Using the research methodologies of quadruple-blind testing, ethnographic narratives, covariate adaptive randomization, 2 out of 3 coin tosses, lazy guesses and maybe a placebo or two, it has been determined that, coming out ahead of :

Truck driving country
Rockmoombahton
Cambodian rock
Tijuana techno
Drone psych or
Glitter trance was....


"Studies have shown that the classical music is annoying" said Jagat Patel.

Well, he may (most certainly) have made that up, or the opera music loop salespeople might have told him that, but results are results.

I kinda favor the Mexican tech house...
 
@Blunderbuss Firozabad: I believe I saw that list on a one-off occasion a few years ago. The genres of "folclore extremeno", "Afrikaans folk", "gothic Americana", and "ranchera" seem pretty interesting.

If you encounter something like "Brazilian epic doom metal", it is definitely Mythological Cold Towers.




Also, I'm curious what genre this would fall under:


[automerge]1675137632[/automerge]
Other random genres:

Croatian electronic
Berlin minimal techno
Alberta hip hop
Bachchon ke geet
Dutch Americana (I mean, if the Swedish band First Aid Kit can pull off Americana, I guess anything is possible)
Bozlak
Hangoskonyvek
Sean-nos singing
Albanian Iso Polyphony
Kyrgyz traditional
Malang punk
