At 10:00 AM on Monday, the new song recommendation slots on the Doggy Music platform were refreshed.

A new song was quietly released without any prior promotion or publicity.

Song title: So annoying.

Performer: Ado.

Production: Land of Light Music Group.

The cover is a pure black background with the song title written in white graffiti font in the center.

There were no artist photos, no promotional text, and even the song description was only one sentence long.

Monday is a good day to release [something].

"Huh? The Land of Light released a new song? And it's Monday morning?"

"Ado? That's a weird stage name. Is he a newcomer?"

"Whatever, it's from the Land of Light, might as well listen!"

In a university dormitory in City A, Li Ming, a law student, was doing practice questions while wearing noise-canceling headphones.

[Ding! The Land of Light's new song, "So Annoying," has been released.]

A message came through my phone.

"The Land of Light released a new song?"

Li Ming paused what he was doing and casually clicked on the link.

The intro begins, with a slow and even somewhat dull tempo.

What is correct?

What is stupidity?

A slightly hoarse female voice rang out.

"this one?"

Li Ming frowned.

He clicked in because he saw the Land of Light.

Music produced by the Land of Light, from "Butter-Fly" to "God's Drifting," has consistently maintained high quality.

I thought it would be an upbeat or heartwarming song, but this prelude...

Isn't that too ordinary?

It was even a bit perfunctory?

However, the idea had barely formed in his mind.

The guitar playing suddenly sped up!

The drumbeats rained down like a storm!

Let me show you how to tell the difference—!!!

The pace suddenly increased several times!

The drumbeats fell like a dense rain!

The electric guitar comes crashing in with a violent, electric feel!

[A top student since childhood]

Before I knew it, I had become an adult.

Full of sharp, razor-sharp thinking

……

Get the latest trends first

Check the flow of the economy before work.

Enter the company with enthusiasm

These are the rules for people in society!

...]

The lyrics, like bullets from a machine gun, pierced Li Ming's eardrums.

Then, the chorus arrives—

【ha--?

So annoying! So annoying! I'm so annoyed!

I'm much healthier than you think!

Everything was ordinary.

Ah, we're such a perfect match!

There is no necessary melody!

So annoying! So annoying! I'm so annoyed!

Different brain circuits aren't a problem...

The explosive roar was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly erupting!

Blasted!

It's completely blown up!

Li Ming froze in his chair.

The pen in my hand fell to the table with a "thud".

He stared wide-eyed at the rapidly scrolling lyrics on the screen, his heart pounding in his chest, as if all the blood was rushing to his head.

What the hell is this?!

The lyrics continue.

"Refill your wine glass as soon as it's empty"—the helplessness during social gatherings;

"Take the food off the skewers so it's easier for everyone to eat"—the unseen labor during a group meal;

"Hurry up with the checkout and ordering"—small compromises in interpersonal relationships;

Every word he uttered struck a chord with Li Ming and countless other young people like him.

The pressures that accumulate in academics, employment, and interpersonal relationships;

Those grievances that are not understood;

Those "So annoying!" words I wanted to say but had to swallow...

At this moment, the voice named Ado roared out without reservation!

The final, piercing high note seemed to unleash all his emotions.

No! Anything is fine, I'm okay with it—!!!

The music suddenly stopped.

The song has ended.

Duration: 3 minutes and 23 seconds.

Li Ming sat motionless in front of the computer for a full half minute.

Then, with trembling hands, he pressed repeat on single track.

Open the dormitory group chat.

Li Ming: @Everyone, listen to this!!! The Land of Light's new song!!! "So Annoying!!!" You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't listen!!!

At the same time, countless similar scenes were unfolding simultaneously across the country.

In the office building, Xiao Zhang, a young employee who was slacking off while wearing headphones, suddenly sat up straight when he heard the chorus of a song. After looking around, he secretly turned up the volume.

After working overtime for another week, programmer Lao Wu silently mouthed the words "shout" along with the song while looking at the error message on the screen.

In the classroom, Liu, a high school student engrossed in a sea of ​​practice problems, buried his face in his scarf, his shoulders trembling slightly...

Thirty minutes later.

The new song charts on the Doggy Music platform are updated in real time.

"So Annoying" - Ado, debuting at number three.

Views: 87 million.

Number of comments: 1.2.

The comment section is refreshing at a rate of hundreds per minute:

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What an amazing voice! I'm getting goosebumps!!!"

"When that 'Huh—?' came out, I practically jumped out of my chair! It scared my roommate half to death!"

"I freaking...cried, really, I don't know why, the tears just started falling, but I felt so good inside!"

"This is what young people truly feel!!! I'm tired of all those lovey-dovey songs!! I want to listen to this!!!"

"Who is Ado?! Where did the Land of Light dig up this treasure?! That voice is so powerful!!"

"So annoying! So annoying! So annoying! So annoying! I'm going to use this song as background music today to make all my stupid colleagues and clients scream!"

"I forwarded this to my dad with the comment: Listen to your daughter's thoughts. [doge emoji]"

"Brave warrior ahead! Are you still alive? Should we call an ambulance for you?"

"Alive! I just finished a phone call. I'm okay. My dad was silent for a while, then transferred 2000 yuan to me via WeChat, saying he wanted to buy some good food. I was a little confused."

"??? No, I also shared it, so why did I get a meal of Seven Wolves cigarettes in return? Are guys really that unpopular???"

"Upstairs, the fact that you're still alive means your dad still loves you. (Pats shoulder)"

11:00 AM.

"So Annoying" has topped the new song chart!

The video has been viewed over 200 million times!

On the trending topics list, #AdoIsSoAnnoying# suddenly dropped to seventh place!

On the topic page, fan-created content spread like wildfire:

On short video platforms, some people edit songs into their daily vlogs of "getting up early to squeeze onto the subway," adding captions like, "Listen to this every day to prevent depression."

Someone used songs as background music to create a compilation of various "bizarre workplace moments": clients changing their requirements, colleagues stealing credit, and bosses making empty promises...

Students created hilarious videos depicting "when the teacher says there will be a pop quiz" and "when parents ask, 'What was your rank this time?'"

A kind of rebellious and self-deprecating literature, centered around this song, is rapidly spreading among young people.

"The client sent the proposal back for the twelfth time today? I'll put on 'So Annoying' at full volume, yell it out at the air, and feel better. Then I can go back to being a beast of burden."

"A special background music for breaking down defenses during exam week. It is recommended to use it in conjunction with 'Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation' for better results."

"A true reflection of the mental state of contemporary young people: On the surface, everything seems fine—no problem, I'll fix it right away; But inside the headphones: This is so annoying!!!!!!!!!"

Land of Light, Music Division.

Hu Pangbin stared at the real-time data backend, his hands still trembling, but his face was beaming with joy.

"Director Yang! It's a smash hit! A complete smash hit!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"It's already got 240 million views! And over 3 comments!"

"It's trending seventh, and its ranking is still climbing!"

Yang Qian sat on the sofa to the side, holding a thermos, and nodded calmly.

"Yes, as expected."

This was indeed within his expectations.

In the original world, Ado's "So Annoying" was a phenomenal success.

Its extreme emotional outpouring and straightforward rebellion against social pressure have accurately struck a chord with countless young people.

In a world where most entertainment works still pursue positive, harmonious, beautiful, and correct values.

This simple, direct, and even somewhat misguided expression of genuine emotion has ironically become a refreshing and unprecedented trend.

...or, mudslide.

"Have the publicity team follow up."

Yang Qian took a sip of tea and gave the instructions.

"Focus on promoting derivative works and discussions, but don't deliberately guide the audience; let them participate spontaneously."

"clear!"

Hu Pangbin immediately took notes.

"in addition."

Yang Qian paused, looked up at him, and said, "Prepare to deal with negative comments."

"Negative?"

Hu Pangbin was taken aback. "With such a good reputation right now, the comment section is practically a massive emotional outpouring. How could there still be negative comments?"

"It will be available soon."

Yang Qian smiled, a knowing look in his eyes.

"Some people's ears cannot hear the truth."

"Especially when that voice comes from a young person who shouldn't be speaking like that."
