In this short, two speakers discuss how certain auditory stimuli provoke intense, irrational anger. Speaker A describes an overwhelming, instant rage triggered specifically by Baroque music, noting that the feeling is so strong it makes their skin “fall.” They contrast this with other genres that do not elicit the same reaction. Speaker B expands on the idea that these reactions are rooted in the nervous system rather than rational thought, citing everyday annoyances like headlights in the eyes or walking under a streetlight.

Like there's the sound of a knife on your plate or the sound of nails on a chalkboard or like just some socially acceptable or aware type things that people have. But then you go, that hum of the refrigerator, if it doesn't stop, I'm going to lose my crap.
Right. And it's like, just be more tolerant or just be more. And I'm like, but
