> they recommend avoiding all commercial music because it's unhealthy for you
top 40 has been mostly low quality and appeal to the lowest common denominator...I mean, what´s new with that? By the way, in terms of production, I assume that they blame pop music for being overly compressed (the infamous loudness war by turning up the volume to oblivion. Multinationals believed that the louder, the better) but that practice ended in the 2010s for the most part, not to mention that the underground doesn´t follow the same path as the mainstream artist. 
 
> really? I mean, "Buy our toys REAL HARD" really?
not in the same as you believe. They try to sell the premise of the 432 Hz to you and then, you think about it for a minute, feel enlightened in comparison to the rest of the society because of feeling special by listening to it (and also backing it up that 440 Hz is evil because Goebbels imposed it to annoy people so there is a secret conspiracy that the industry is pursuing you for listening to 432 Hz. When in reality, the ISO approved the 440 Hz standard in 1955, no nazis were involved) and then, after convincing yourself that 432 Hz is the solution, sell their records.

 It´s kind of a reverse formula with Hasbro. You are completely aware that they produce toy commercials but you like it despite acknowledging that the brand was intended in order to sell toys to children. 

> I've seen some okay math. It's from laymen, but it seems plausible. Fibonacci sequence figures heavily into it.
Even then, it´s curious that they left in the numbers constitutions the decimal parts and all of them are well rounded for some reason. Still, I would be the first to read an actual scientific report and see if there are actual discussions from the scientific community (because this belongs to the physics department) but until I don´t see actual studies, reports, interviews, observations that lead that 432 Hz (and I mean with that number alone or a confidence interval whose errors include that number) is the number of the universe....I cannot accredit that at all. I mean if you want to listen to 432 Hz, okay perfect, enjoy it. However, keep in mind...

That most music that you will find in Youtube was recorded in 440 Hz originally and then, a fan would pitch down that recording for that frequency. 
If I were to mention the Fibonacci sequence in music, I would speculate about the Lateralus record made by Tool in 2001. That records does actually mix math with music and it´s praised for many reasons (and the mathematical aspect is an actual feature that was intended to be analyzed for that album)

> I stand by what I said -- the 432 standard yielded a set of chords that felt cooperative, harmonious. The 440 stand sounded raucous. Don't get me wrong, there's a place for raucous music.
That´s because you ear feels oversaturated of listening to music recorded in that frequency. That feeling isn´t all that weird and your ear feel drawn towards different frequencies. That tiring feeling would apply to any frequency in general though.

> if you're wanting something more contemplative, that won't jar your conscious mind, I suspect I'd prefer the 432 stuff.
well, that´s a matter of taste. I mean, that´s up to you for personal enjoyment. All my previous lines are mostly focused on the premise of that slogan of "Music that connects with the universe". If you enjoy it, perfect but I don´t buy the premise at all. What matters the most in music, instead of pointing out what frequency that song/musical piece has, I would focus more on finding good albums because in the end, that´s what will matter the most.

> since I don't buy music anyway, I'll probably just have to take what I can get.
well, then those people won´t take advantage of you, economically speaking.
