Vogon Poetry

Vogon poetry, from Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," is humorously depicted as notoriously terrible and unpleasant to listen to. It’s characterized by overly complex, obscure, or intentionally oppressive language that causes discomfort. In the story, Vogons are bureaucratic aliens whose poetry is so bad it’s considered a form of torture. The concept highlights the idea that not all art is equally enjoyable and can sometimes be intentionally or unintentionally challenging or unpleasant, serving as a satirical commentary on the subjective nature of aesthetic appreciation.
