This might be going off-tangent but I really find things like this fascinating! Reminds me of the Motif of Harmful Sensation[1], one of those tropes that sound fantastical and absurd even in fiction but is actually in real life.

- ragazzina 6y agoThank you for the link, I've tried to look up the trope of "sound/video that kills/makes one go insane" on TVtrope but I haven't been able to find it. It's also strange that there isn't a wikipedia article about it. It's relatively common in movies and literature.
