Conductor Syndrome
When a person listens to an intense and/or awesome soundtrack or song (whether it be video game music, opera, or classical), and they get so pumped and psyched by the music itself. That they go to the extent of pretending to have a composing baton in their hand, and pretend to a have their own ensemble of which they pretend to fictionally conduct music by. Flailing of the arms in a Conductor-esc. manner and the jerking of the head are only a few of the symptoms.
Person #1: "Hey dude, look at that guy over there. He's just swinging his arms around and jerking his head around. The lad looks like an absolute madman! Mate!"
Person #2: "He's either suffering from Conductor Syndrome , or he is a complete madman."
Person #1: " What's 'Conductor Syndrome?'
Person #2: " A supposed 'syndrome' that affects fellows of whom are listening to classical, opera, video game, or composed music. That they become a pretend-composer and have an their own little pretend-ensemble of which they act like the composer to. It's honestly quite common, people do it because it gives them an extra boost of intensity in their bones."
Person #1: "Wow, never have I heard of such a thing. *Starts listening to Dark Souls soundtrack*:"
Person #2: "Wow! You're unconsciously doing it, and you've never even heard of it ."
Person #1: "Wait, how is this possible?"
Person #2: "Well, look at that! You're a natural! Anyways, seeyah!"
Person #1: "K, seeyah!"
Person #2: "He's either suffering from Conductor Syndrome , or he is a complete madman."
