an instrumental progression as defined by people who don't know how to play an instrument.

Some how the root (1) has shifted to a zero (0) and we're left with an anomalous gap between the new root (0) and the second note a.k.a the supertonic (2). This, of course, is used to insult beginner musicians who are just learning triads and scale degrees, but unironically shows the lack of knowledge of those using said insult.
".. and then he came into the guitar store and played 0 3 5..."
"you mean 1-3-5?"
"na, man... 0 is the starting note"
"so... you play 9 note octaves?"
