There's whole lot of genres of music to shuffle through before we may find the genre that drives away orcas. Maybe there's no genre of music that drives away orcas. You know how people say of ethnic groups they don't belong to that y'all look alike to us? Maybe all human music sounds alike to orcas.

We should try polka. Nobody wants to listen to polka.

You'd be surprised at some of the sleeper hits. It's inherent in all genres that one composition will just blow your mind.

...or maybe I just like polka and avoid the weird looks by only having one song on the ipod. Maybe.

Let's try EDM. Two sounds pulsating and occasionally woman's voice saying "orca" will bore anyone to death.
