I heard that the Germans tried it on teenagers at Hamburg railway station but it just led to a lot of thoughtful criticism and the purchasing of U2 CDs.

Nope, they're still doing this. I'm commuting every day to Hamburg and at the entrances of its central station they play classical music. And it's loud! You almost don't have a chance to ignore this even with headphones in your ears.
