I think it is actually a very similar concept to being tone deaf: both can be a sort of range. From being tone deaf as the guy in the video (and not being able to visualize anything), to having a very visual orientated mind/very great musical capacity. For instance, I can visualize a little bit, but only in very choppy flashy images, not walking around a 'mind palace' or something like that. Though with music some training can help. I am not very musical, but having had musical lessons I can distinguish between very different tones and sometimes when it's off pitch.

I’d imagine it’s at least annoying for tone deaf people whenever people who aren’t tone deaf pester them with stuff about music, like liking it (or not liking it), and hearing it “properly”. The skit is exaggerated but it’s not entirely made up either, it’s easy to imagine that someone who doesn’t (or refuses to) understand what tone-deafness means may try to force someone to do something they can’t, because they lack the understanding that the person _can’t._ That would be annoying at the very least.

Same here! It is extremely helpful to know this as I genuinely didn't know what "tone deaf" meant. I had some vague idea that it had to do with being unable to hear if you're singing *exactly* on key or not, nothing like this.

Most people who say they are tone deaf mean they can't sing or they have more trouble than average with pitch matching or holding notes on pitch. This is incredibly rare and most people don't know it's what is meant by tone deaf. I should know. I occasionally tell people I'm tone deaf so they stop asking me to sing.

Nobody sings worse than me. I am not tone deaf unless it's coming out of my mouth. Played guitar for 10+ years and got good at it. I can tell when one of my strings is only a slight bit out of tune. Another trick for when you can't hear (in a loud area) you can use the vibration/oscillation from the guitar, if it's an acoustic, to align the tuning. One of my favourite things to do.

We can still love music. A really interesting sound that invoke emotion (like Billie Eilish) or beautiful violin ( like Lindsey Stirling - though most of it sounds the same to me) or it has a very good beat with a lot of depth from an interesting drummer. If you have friends that seems tone deaf and you want to enjoy music with them; look for songs with extremely multidimensional drummers that don’t just keep a steady beat through the song. Have more extreme changes in pitch can also help.

The key to those kinds of things is tactical counter-rudeness. I say "counter-rudeness" because they're already being rude to you, which gives you social license to look them in the eye and say, as flatly and bluntly as possible, "No. I don't want to. I mean it. Stop asking." Essentially, the idea is to just completely cut out any cues that might make a person think the interaction is playful banter when it's not. Shut them down in a way that doesn't give off the 'slowly being persuaded' vibes deflections like appealing to a lack of ability can.
