Kids everywhere are playing rap and you're complaining about ABBA?

Sorry, no sympathy from me at all.

I suppose it could be worse.

Maybe you made the mistake of mentioning that you no longer like ABBA and your child reacted to that.  Or it could just be a matter of trial and error.  If the first choice does not annoy, then picking something different may have the desired effect.  Once something is found that properly annoys you, the only thing left to do is to play it over and over and over and....

Ok, funny new thread idea: which music would your (imaginary) kids have to play to annoy you with the worst from your high school years? (not saying ABBA is bad, btw). I have some memories of 90s Eurodance that would be a surefire way to let the barf flow.

 I second this.

I if I ever have children, then the Jonas Brothers will probably do the trick

I see what you are up to!  You are trying to provide a resource for children to look through for ideas on how to really annoy their parents!

How's this for starters?

Yeah, and you guys thought I was joking. This stuff is weapons grade. It will make you wonder why you didn't nuke Germany while you had the chance.

Naw, they don't seem to have much interest in pushing my buttons.  It's just that whatever they like at the moment they're likely to play five times an afternoon.   It may be Broadway today.

I can honestly say that I would probably ground my kids if they liked JB...I despise him. I know that sounds cruel...but he is a terrible role model and a shit singer (in my opinion).

Yes, he deserves a special load of hate. Most boy bands are positively likable in comparison to that shit. I mean, in comparison I almost get nostalgic thinking about the days of Take That.
