My neighbour plays the shittest music, what can I do about it?

It's usually in the mornings when he thinks no one's at home, and its always some mariah carey type stuff

Have you considered learning to play violin?

I do actually play, to the point that I don't know how to play it badly. The suffering will only be on me, as I hate to play the damn thing

How about the saxophone, with a damaged reed. Alto and tenor can get pretty loud and the damaged reed gives off a lovely screech at the best times

The thing is that I sympathize with the need to scream/shout make music when alone. The world is rough, and exerting any semblance of expression in our little corners is important sanity-wise. I just wish the music wasnt so bad

Put on comically large sunglasses, take a stimulant of your choice, and knock on their door demanding to be invited to the party.

If they don't let you in, dance on their doorstep with sporadic shouts such as "THIS IS MY SONG!" and "THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANY MORE!" until you inevitably get arrested for public nuisance and the music is turned off.

They'll never play music that loud again.

If they do let you in, throw caution to the wind and have the best damn boogie you've ever had. Repeat until they don't let you in.

Knock on and have a friendly chat, get to know him, and mention the loudly shit music is a bit annoying. Either that or move 🤷

Im just finding it funny thinking about a person who wakes up and

not angry because he was woken up.

Not because of loud music.

But is livid about their neighbors music choices.

Just a funny thought.

Mind you that's pretty fucking illegal. So if OFCOM happens to be monitoring and catches wind of what you're doing - even if it's to prevent a legitimate nuisance - you can get a hefty fine.

That might have been an aspect of the story. The part I remembered was him always insisting on listening to it during sex. But then when he couldn't, he got caught gyrating his hips to the tune of it.

I think if anything people might see you as a quixotic and indomitable soul. I swear I'm not the C.Bat guy.
