Forgive the person who always sings out of tune, he is really sick
”Singing out of tune is a disease” became the hottest topic on Weibo yesterday, and experts named this disease “out of tune syndrome”.
”You don’t have a sentence to sing in tune, why do you always like to sing incessantly? But I really can’t hear where I am out of tune ah?” You must have such people around you, singing out of tune but always narcissistic as the “mike”. Of course, the biggest problem is not that they are not in tune, but that they do not feel that they are in tune. In fact, singing is always out of tune is a “disease”, experts to this kind of singing “love off-key” disease named “lost song syndrome.
The year is coming to an end and there are many parties, so the “lost song patients” will come out again to “wreak havoc”, and this word is also ranked first in the Sina Weibo search hot word list. This reporter interviewed the province’s medical experts, experts said, “lost song syndrome” is a new term, the combination of congenital “defects” and the acquired “desire to perform”, which led to The combination of congenital “defects” and the acquired “desire to express” is what leads to the creation of “dysgraphia”.
The percentage of “lost song disorder” is about 4%.
Not everyone is Zuo Xiao Zuoyan, deliberately singing out of tune can also be “a school of its own”. The first one to hype up the term “out-of-sync” was GoShell.com. In an article on the site, Shell Health writes that the percentage of people who lose their songs is about 4 percent of the population, but researchers believe that impairments in pitch recognition may contribute to the disorder, and that such recognition impairments are amplified in real-life musical situations, leading to music-related memory impairments. Just as colorblind people are unable to distinguish colors with similar wavelengths, dissonant singers are unable to distinguish notes with similar pitches. They have normal hearing, no abnormal pronunciation, and no problems with verbal communication, but they do not know anything about music and cannot understand or sing it.
In order to further understand the specific situation of “lost song syndrome”, Shell Health used two songs as a case study. Most of the music in “Turkish March” and “Chrysanthemum Terrace” is composed of notes with adjacent pitches following a certain rhythm. If a person with “out-of-song” disorder cannot detect the differences in the melody, he or she will not be able to grasp the overall changes in the melody as a whole. The music-related memory impairment of the dissonant singer is such that even if they have heard the melody a thousand times, it still sounds strange to them, so it is difficult for them to learn to sing. On the other hand, they cannot hear dissonant tunes. Infants have an innate sensitivity to scales and beats, and at about 9 months of age they show a preference for continuous scales. This ability is not related to acquired development and seems to be a special ability of the human brain, whereas people suffering from dissonance have no clear preference for continuous scales.
Netizens: Pentatonic disorder finally has an authoritative scientific name
The new term “lost song syndrome” appeared, many netizens “ecstatic”, “finally found my incomplete where the problem is, the original is lost song syndrome.” Many in the KTV “dead not open” netizens are very happy, “I finally found the reason for the grand refusal KTV, so I am a part of the 4 percent.” “Finally find an authoritative scientific name for pentatonic incompetence, actually called song loss disorder.”
The reporter saw on some community websites, similar to “singing in tune” a class of groups are popping up. The netizens who are shuttling through these online groups are all “off-key professionals” who love to sing but are always out of tune. Sina Weibo user “Julia_Zhu” said, “This is too close to me. My best friend is a typical off-key person when he opens his mouth, but I definitely didn’t think he was born with this problem.”
Expert analysis of “lost song syndrome”
The genetic factor is related to the personal desire to express “aggravate” the “condition”
How exactly does “lost song syndrome” arise? Yuan Yonggui, director of psychiatry at the Southeast University Hospital, analyzed that patients with “lost song disorder” have certain cognitive problems, and in addition to genetic factors, patients’ own desire to perform is also a reason for “aggravating” lost song disorder. In addition to genetic factors, the patient’s own desire for expression is also one of the reasons for “exacerbating” the disorder.
Director Yuan Yonggui suggests that if you want to alleviate the condition, you should start by correcting the patient’s overwhelming desire for expression. For example, you can record the songs of the patient and let him listen to them by himself.
”Song loss is not strictly speaking a pathology
Shao Weibo, director of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Nanjing Brain Hospital, said he had never heard of the term “lost song syndrome” and had never encountered a patient who simply lost the ability to sing and went to the clinic. And experts point out that, strictly speaking, this can not be called a pathology, which needs to be compared with their own before and after, some people are born not “sensitive” to music. There are individual differences in the ability to perceive music, just as there are differences in many people’s perception of spatial differences. Many women claim to have no talent for driving, and their sense of space and direction is not as strong as that of men.

Along with the “lost song syndrome” discussion on the Internet, netizens have also summarized the “lost song syndrome” symptoms: singing out of tune, can not hear the semantic meaning of others with intonation, poor sense of direction, low ability to organize, etc.. Because of the inability to distinguish pitches and nuances of notes, people with dysgraphia may also have communication difficulties, such as not being able to distinguish emotions such as anger, fear or sarcasm conveyed by the other person’s language. They often miss the “off-key” message conveyed by the other person’s intonation. Strictly speaking, the symptoms of dysarthria are as follows.
