Good Idea
Though it may seem cruel, you can understand the problem and the end does justify the means.
as to what some annonymous coward said ("Is it known to be more effective at dispersing teenagers than Shostakovich or Bartok, say?") If you were to play these composers, not that i have heard of them, the teenagers would just block it out. As a hater of Barry Manilow, I would say that his music would drive me mad even if I could block out some of it. Anyway some teenagers can listen to classical music, such as Wagner.
