I have a confession to make, guys. I hear the downbeat and roll out by Ludicrous the wrong way. Now, before you postmodern neo-Marxist liberals say there is no wrong way of listening to music, you're wrong. The correct way of listening to the song has roll on beat four and out on beat one. And the
incorrect way has roll on beat three and out on beat four. So listen and tell me if you are dumb like me.
Roll out my homies out. So drop that out with the top. >> Now this is of course part of the long-running social media debate spurred by music theorist Dr. Robert Kanaki. Uh basically the dress for terminally online music theory nerds. A recent post from Dr. Commoni drew in some commentary
from extremely elite musicians including John Batiste, Germaine Dri, Quest Love, and Anderson Pack. But of course, there is a correct answer here. There's always a correct way of listening to music. And that is one is wherever the person paying you says it is. And Ludicrous's presumably paid band counts the song off
in a way that very clearly puts roll on beat four. >> Please welcome Ludicrous. roll out. >> So, there it is. There's the evidence.
Case closed. No more content to be made about this stupid question, right? But this is kind of frustrating to me because even though the evidence is very clear, my brain doesn't accept it. It is experiencing a different reality.
How do you correct for that? How do you will yourself to experience the world in a way that your senses are telling you otherwise? Can you simply look at a picture of the dress and will yourself to see it as white and gold if you see it as blue and black? Do I need to be tortured by a Kardashian interrogator to
hear roll out the right way? >> Tell me how many lights you see. >> So, I set myself the goal of learning how to hear this song properly, of flipping my perception, which turned out to be a lot harder than I initially thought. Let's get into it. This video was brought to you by my band Sungazer.
Come see us on tour in August with microonal songstress Maddie Ashman. More at the end of this video. Attempt number one, count it the right way along with the song and move along with the correct way. So, I started out by doing what anybody does when they listen to hip-hop songs, and that is
I consulted music neuroscience journals. I found this article that suggests moving to the beat improves timing perception, which sounded pretty promising. So, I tried that. I forced my head to bob the correct way as I counted out loud the proper way to the song. My thought is the more I moved the right
way, the more I'll feel it, right? But I found that strategy to ultimately be a dead end. It's kind of just like looking at the picture of the dress and being like, "Turn white and gold, damn it."
Kind of useless, honestly. I don't know. It might work for some people, but ultimately they didn't really work for me.
