No Music Allowed	comment	Music has a way of touching the soul, but when it touches the soul the wrong way, expect the person affected to shut it out of their life. Usually, the absence of a loved one who enjoyed music will cause the bereaved to forbid music from playing in their home again. However, it can reach a much different extent and there can be other motives for banning music, such as a dictator wanting to break his slaves spirits and keep them from enjoying any sense of freedom, maybe its the phobia of The New Rock & Roll or something as simple as being embarrassed that the person can't dance. There are also religious reasons and the fear that music and dancing will lead people astray. In any case, the people who are affected by this ban will become miserable and life will become dull and humdrum. Often with this trope, someone will rebel against the idea and find some way to bring music back into the lives of their friends and family. The one who implements this trope is usually a Fun-Hating Confiscating Adult or Fantasy-Forbidding Parent who needs a bit of healing from the tragic event that incited the ban. Can also be done by The Killjoy or a Fun-Hating Villain. Compare Musical Number Annoyance. Someone might apply Musicalis Interruptus to anyone caught breaking the rule. On a worldwide level, the ban is part of a World of Silence. Part of Music Tropes.

No Music Allowed / int_100d4e39	comment	Aladdin: The Series: "Heads, You Lose" introduces the tyrannical Caliph Kapok, a man so nasty he's been reduced to a disembodied head because his own heart rejected him. At one point, after getting his body and caliphate back, he passes judgement on a craftsman charged with wasting time by making musical instruments. Kapok sentences the man to spend his days making violins much to his confusion, only for the Caliph to explain that while music serves no purpose in and of itself, it does make excellent firewood.

She doesn't hate music in general, but she can't stand listening to concert band music anymore because she's still angry at their parents for forcing her to quit the trombone against her will. So when Kumiko joins the high school band, Mamiko won't allow her to practice her euphonium at home or play any concert band music on the stereo. Once Kumiko and Reina are quietly listening to a euphonium CD in her room with the door closed, and Mamiko just walks right in without knocking and turns it off.

Main character Galileo hears rock music in his head despite never encountering it, and eventually joins up with fellow non-conformist Scaramouche and a group known as the Bohemians who believe in the prophecy; by working together, they bring music back to the world and defeat Killer Queen.

No Music Allowed / int_504f427f	comment	Sonic Underground: While making this rule is usually part of Robotnik's MO whenever he takes over in the franchise as a whole, this series took it to a whole other level. Robotnik has made music illegal throughout his empire, and one of the primary ways the Freedom Fighters, and the Hedgehog triplets in particular, show defiance of his rule is to hold underground concerts. That and sabotage, lots and lots of sabotage. In the episodes "When in Rome" and "Six Is a Crowd", The Oracle of Delphius sends the main trio into parallel worlds (the Ancient Rome-like world where Sleetus (Sleet of this world) overthrew a true emperor and Mirror Universe where Robotnik is a good guy and main trio are evil, respectively). The ban on music is mandatory in both worlds (until the main trio visited them).
