I thought this was really cool, and I want to see if anyone else noticed it or has heard any discussion of it.

The musical element is the same chord repeated three times, a little faster than one strike per second. The sound has a noticeable twang, like it’s being played on a steel-body acoustic guitar.

Halfway through the movie, I realized the element was being played a lot, but not as the beginning or end to any musical sequence. It was just there, on its own. As I then paid attention to when it was being played, it seemed to be when there was a break in time or place in the story. Basically, it was serving the same purpose as a DINKUS ( • • • ) does in a written book, signaling a break in the story.

Then I remembered Travis Scott’s storytelling character. He also uses an audible dinkus in breaking up his story. He does it by striking his staff three times on the ground.

I’m wondering if each three-chord element repeated during the movie coincides with when the storyteller also strikes the staff in his version of the story.

…the PARASITE.
