Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Kirsty Lee *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

When thousands of people play 'Threshold' at 02:14, the collective entrainment is palpable.
