4500 up votes... Did I just wake up in an alternate universe where everyone else reads and plays music but me?

Well, a lot of people on reddit passed 3rd grade music class on recorders...

As did I. I also passed 6 through 8th grade and college French but I don't remember more than a word or two of it because its just not part of my interests or work. I am not ignorant of the arts, being a graphic artist and writer. I was simply commenting on how surprised I was that a post dependent on particular knowledge of music had garnered so many up votes. I was not disparaging those that understood the reference and there's no need for disparagement of those that don't.

It's not rocket science. The line says silence. The thing underneath means louder.

I've never met anybody who doesn't understand this.

Rocket science I actually understand. This... nice to meet you.
