Voice pitch shifting and pretend emotion in the form of groaning affectedly in all the wrong places.

Many vocals are often too much over-processed with pitch correction and shifting and loose their personality. Less perfection might give them more power!

Modern dubstep overuses the wobble inconsiderate. My ear easily fatigue when try to make sense the rhythm of the wobble.
I rather listen for more melodic rhythm use in the wobble rather than only the wobble itself.
I would recommend listen to Noisia - Machine Gun, it has good clear sound design, rhythm and most importantly listenable.

Nightcore
Why the high pitch vocal ?

I don't like the pedal-steel guitar on some older country songs. I don't know what they do to it to make it sound like cats, but it makes me queasy. This is the sound I don't like:

Then again, I like the sound on Merle Haggard's "The Bottle Let Me Down" (it is a pedal-steel guitar, right?):

Robert Randolph is another story--damn good.

It worked for Sly and the Family Stone though.

I could comment but it would be TMI.

effects on human voices like the Cher effect, Vocoders or obviously pitched down (or up) voices all sound similarly silly / obnoxious to me.

instruments wise it's a lot of 90's trance and pop techno sounds, but it's probably more a combination of those sounds (which in the right hands can actually give some more ear pleasing results) and children's song themes mixed into a pesky something.

Sidechain compression on the whole mix while the kick is muted.

Sirens and alarms, particularly police sirens, especially while driving.

Literally every aspect of this song.

There's a rumbling sound in an X Ambassadors song that always makes my wife think something is wrong with the car.

The most annoying instruments, fx, and in general things people put in their music?
