(Yeah, it's only one song, but play it loud enough and hopefully you'll only need the one song.)

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Get very bright smart bulbs. Set them to standard brightness all the time and then blastthe fucker come alarm time.
When I struggled to get up in my late teens and early twenties, I used a submarine dive horn as an alarm. That worked well, but my roommates were not a fan.
There is always The Most Unwanted Song:

These were/are the songs I use for my alarms at least and they do the trick. Idk if it will work well on someone who doesn't like hip hop though
1: Angelspit - Krankhaus - Vena Cava
2: Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera - Waiting for an Answer
3: Mick Gordon - Doom 2016 Soundtrack - Damnation
Don't go easy on the volume. If they still don't come out after that, they had a heart attack.
LOL, one of the Youtube comments:
HOLY FUCK THIS ONE ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC
Hahaha I saw that. Compared to some other stuff (I haven't heard a lot) it does sound like an actual song haha. Maybe I'll check out that album.
I always thought the Fireburg village music from Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest would make a good alarm. I've been considering using it myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Zq95YQGnY
- PEELINGFLESH - FFWAS

“Teenager” is a fairly broad spectrum of age; there’s a big difference between 13 & 17. You should pick something geared toward his approximate point of psycho-intellectual development. I personally would suggest tinnitus sounds, the kind of droning bass that literally makes the house shake, or an earrape version of “Reveille” accompanied by you banging on something metal, like Sgt. Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

If theyre not up by the first wail they will be once hes done.
Runner up would be A History of Bad Men since that starts with "WAKE UP you never looked so glum"
Anyone who can sleep through Bassnectar - Raw Charles deserves some kind of award.
I had 'Thunderbirds Are Coming Out' by TISM as my alarm for a few years. Those opening horns certainly get the blood pumping.
You Give Love a Bad Name. Very loud.
AC/VC by Neil Cicierega
I like tull so to cry you a song, minstrel in the gallery, and then high born hunting girl.
May I suggest Igorrr "Spaghetti Forever" At first glance it's sweet and calm but then it becomes pure insanity.
I had a room mate once who had the john cena tune as his alarm and every day he would sleep through it for at least an hour.
