Yeah the trope name sounds very negative, one example is under Digimon where the trope is assumed to be negative:
Also the snark towards 4Kids is in the examples as well, with a ZCE to boot:
So the misuse is there, but I also see some other stuff not up to standards like ZCEs, some even taking the form of X, just X.
As for renames, here are some of my suggestions:
The page quote and the sole quote on Quotes.Lull Destruction are also complain-y. Rename to Filling Up That Silence which sounds less negative.

I'd like to recommend Filling the Silence instead, although I admit to not finding the name Lull Destruction inherently complain-y (the page is, I just don't blame the name). I would prefer if we have a rename crowner (I do think there is enough evidence that the name may be contributing to the problem). I'll rewrite the description at Sandbox.Lull Destruction for comments/critiques since everyone seems to agree it needs revamping.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Please read Everything You Wanted to Know About Changing Names; The first vote will be about whether to rename at all, and to start it off you'll want to create something called a single proposition crowner. The question of if we rename has to be decided before voting on what we rename to.

If you read the description closely and quite a bit of the examples, you'll find that this also applies to an original language track as well. Look at the Felix the Cat and SpongeBob examples. A main issue of this trope is that it's about adding sound so as to capture the audience's attention, but the description and even the laconic say "It's about annoying dialogue and sound effects in a foreign dub!"

Rock'n'roll never dies!Yeah, it's something that's more noticeable with different dubs, but isn't isolated/common to them. Because I like to listen to a few Radio Drama works, I was able to incorporate that into the sandboxed description. It's much more common there, because the medium is solely audio so a lull or silence could be misinterpreted as a problem with the connection. Our demographics leads to that being a rare example because not many tropers are familiar with them. (I listen between once a week and once a month when I'm on a binge.)
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I was going to clarify what I meant, but the on-page examples exhibit none of the misuse I imagined, so it's likely not going to be a problem for the renamed page.
Since radio is mentioned in the sandbox description, would it be useful to mention sound-based works are trying to avoid Dead Air?
I was thinking we could turn this into a supertrope or index for things used to fill silence, such as Mickey Mousing, Dialogue During Gameplay, Narrating the Obvious, etc.
Rock'n'roll never dies!I suggest Lull Filling. There's no better word for the thing being changed in the work than "lull." "Filling" is technically the same as "destruction" in this context, but is more amenable to positive connotations. It also won't require changing the surrounding grammar the way something like "Filling The Silence" might.
Now shall I attach the Alternative Titles crowner I already made, or do I need to make a new one since that one was a mistake?

Crown Description:
Vote up for yes, down for no.

While Lull Destruction's description says that Tropes Are Not Bad, it is still used frequently to complain about dubs and dialogue you don't like. I'm noticing a pattern with English dubs, especially.
As for the on-page examples: Several of the on-page examples are complaining. The Films — Animated, Films — Live-Action, Western Animation, and Video Games folder are filled with complaining.
The definition itself is written as very complainy, complete with a snarky sinkhole to 4Kids Entertainment, and the title sounds very much like a Take That! so I suggest renaming the trope to something like Silence Filling Strategies and rewriting the definition.
