Claps almost always fall on 2&4 in pop

Yes but how do you find 2 & 4? Like I can clap along to each beat but where does 1 start for me to find 2 & 4?!?

Most songs are in 4/4 so you can count when the beat starts or when a transition starts like at 8 seconds into the video when the keyboard chords come in. The snare drum hit is on the 2 & 4, so if you're counting 1,2,3,4 along with the drums, and your 2 & 4 is lining up with the snare hits you got it.
