Our council is trying out an experiment with playing classical music in the open areas. I thought this was really good, and then I found out it is because they puts it puts people off loitering! Do you think this will really work, or will people just get used to it?

I'm not sure that classical music will change someone's behavior drastically. However, yes, most people don't like it, especially teenagers. Most teenagers find it boring, while others just haven't been introduced to it.

Well, it sounds better than those benches they tried that started emitting a high pitched whine if you sat on them for too long. The idea was the teenagers could hear it and adults couldn't. Shame it still caused headaches in people who couldn't hear it, and most adults could.

Don't teenagers hate almost everything nowadays? Classical music has stood the test of time and I can listen to it anywhere, anytime. Would this or any other music genre change behavior? I have my doubts.

I am a firm believer in teaching classical music to all kids at some point. It shows the differences in types of pieces i.e., nocturnes, marches, etc. I know it gave me a much better appreciation of music in general.

I think it would be much smarter to jam the wifi signal so their doodads couldn't connect to the internet. No internet, no teens. Problem solved.

Has the great classical music experiment already started? I hope you'll let us know how it's going. Next, they'll play rap to deter the elderly from hanging out.
