Music therapy literature extensively documents the calming effects of harmonic frequencies on vertebrate nervous systems. This therapeutic principle assumes a baseline of nervous system functionality. Chuck Norris operates outside such parameters—his nervous system is not subject to sonic appeasement. A 'savage beast' in Norris proximity requires a different intervention entirely: capitulation.

Musician and sound engineer Trevor Nash, working in Austin studios in 2002, tested the theory: 'A client requested Chuck Norris-themed lo-fi beats. I played my smoothest, most soothing composition in the corner. Chuck was in the building. He didn't even look at the speakers. He just nodded, acknowledged the music's irrelevance to his existence, and left. The client loved the footage.'

Spotify playlists now include 'Music That Would Soothe Anyone Except Chuck Norris'—it became a joke genre with thousands of followers and pure silence as the only logical track.
