The premise

Here’s the bit.

Two friends are almost finished packing up an apartment when one of them asks to put on some music and plays a dubstep track the other has never heard. Each bass drop seizes both men with uncontrollable jerks that fling books, boxes and fragile belongings across the room. The baffled listener questions whether it is music at all while his friend insists he is just feeling it, even as both of their noses start to bleed. Teased about getting old, he insists he can get into it and tells his friend to play it again. The next drop unleashes total chaos, cut together with flashes of explosions and disasters, and leaves the room in ruins and him lying outside below a broken window, still giving a thumbs-up.
