What was the most annoying music in a VN for you?

[ratboi]

For me it was some oelvn. Yes I know quite a lot of these low budget ones have shitty music in them. I mean it got so bad I had to play slipknot over it 😂 (not that that's a bad thing)

I don't play VNs with bad music.

Music is too important for that

[XReaper]

everything made by ame no murakumo/ammolite/appetite, no exceptions, applies to every single title of theirs.

[akaritan]

Higanbana and 07th Expansion's music is mindbogglingly gorgeous 99% of the time, but occasionally I hear things like this that make my ears bleed.

Princess Evangile's music is almost entirely utter crap. I dropped the VN after one route for many reasons, but the horrible music was probably the biggest factor.

Every time I heard this I was almost ready to exit the game. Then again, I didn't like Chinami too much either.

[Deep Blue]

most of the themes from brass restoration and some themes on Amane Switch were really bad

[BookwormOtaku]

The ero scene music from Kansen Ball Buster. Why the creators thought some guy screaming gibberish into the microphone mixed in with music that by itself would be forgettable would go good with an ero scene baffles me to this day.

The Ikkikoi main menu song, the beginning of it is just despicable to me

[FamishedPants]

I do not think that I have played a game that had music that actually caused me irritation. Closest thing to that would be Himouto's OST, but that's an anime. Grisaia and probably some of the Eroge I have played had meh soundtracks, however. (Though Grisaia did have a few good ones, too). 

[Okarin]

Most VNs I've played have superb music. Sample here:

 

 

The ones that have inferior music don't have bad music in fact, it just doesn't have impact.

Also there's a trick for building a great soundtrack: start putting effort on a main theme and then make spinoffs of it, with different instruments, different keys, different tempos etc. Something good's bound to happen. In Japan you throw a stone and there's an accomplished musician to hit.

THIS!

[Arcadeotic]

Most generic highschool/SoL-tracks with horrendously forgettable and overall just average blips, bloops and some guitar for good measure. 90% of these tracks are basically the same and are in almost every VN in existence.

Example A

Example B

I don't recall any bad music in my VN (or maybe I'm just used to shitty music), however I can tell you the best ones I've played... EVERYTHING FROM UMINEKO

I actually liked this track a lot the first time I heard it, it's one of the better comedy scene tracks IMO. But I'm pretty sick of it by now just because it always plays when that pink blob of annoyingness appears. Chinami is why we can't have nice things.

 

As for the worst one I've ever heard, it would have to be the H-scene music from Sharin no Kuni. God I'm sick of it.

This song is actually pretty neat, I love the sound of  harpsichord, and overall cheerfullness of the tune... but this is immediate PTSD of ONIICHANONIICHANONIICHAN. What a waste. ;p

At least it's...different.  And crazy. Crazy tends to be good. It's actually listenable, compared to 95% of VN openings songs. Oh, and it's better with voice, which is extremally rare for japanesse music.  

Sorry for posting right after a post, still didn't figured out how to quote another people into edit of previous post. Gib me my source codes for posts!

Kill it..Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!

[Okarin]

But... "Girls at 4:30 PM" is a good theme. Plus, I wish I could meet girls at 4:30 PM... or any hour, really!

[TexasDice]

Basically every single OP ever, because they tend to be 2000% louder than the audio settings and burst your eardrums in a matter of seconds.

I think Muv Luv was the first VN I noticed that did this, and its soundtrack was overall my favorite.
