ear pollution

Very similar to noise pollution; ear pollution is generally regarded as music that is audible to a listener who's taste in musical genres differs greatly from the music currently playing.

For example, a metal song (such as by Anthrax or Metallica) playing within earshot of a listener of adult contemporary or country western music playing rather loudly when the listener is a metalhead would be considered by that listener as ear pollution.

Turn that gosh darn-diddly-arn ear pollution down willya?!? I'm trying to get some Kenny Rogers in over here!!!
