Anyway if somebody wanted to torture you, what type of music would they use? For me it would be 1970s and 1980s era smooth jazz, the type of stuff that resembles a porn movie soundtrack. If they really wanted to get me to talk they would also throw on some early '90s Michael Bolton.
It’s hard to think there was a time in the recent past a thread like this would be thought of as too ridiculous, too extreme, in such bad taste it would probably be closed and a pit thread started to call out the OP.
It doesn’t matter. The constant loud playing of music that you don’t have any control over will eventually break someone, regardless of the genre. It will destroy concentration and disturb sleep, and the actual content wouldn’t matter much.
I absolutely require regular and extended interludes of peace and quiet, so any music played loud and all the time would drive me insane. It would happen faster with hard-core rap or angry metal music, but I’d soon hate even my favorite songs if I was forced to hear them over and over.
Rap, fusion jazz (I think that’s what they call it–the stuff where they noodle around on variations of the same theme for oh, about nine hours per track ), certain types of country (the really twangy stuff), death/speed metal (again, I think that’s the right term–the stuff with lots of discordant guitars, drums, and screaming, and no melody whatsoever). Also white-bread muzak and the more insipid examples of children’s music.
