Nobody can agree whether this video says ‘Yanny’ or ‘Laurel’?

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?!

Listen to this.

#TeamYanny by James Dator, registered Yanny-stan

It’s Yanny. It’s only Yanny. Not only is there no “Laurel,” there’s no “L” sound at all. Seriously. I get the general concept of “there are two sides to every argument,” but not in this case — there is only Yanny. There was only ever Yanny. I do not believe, abide by, or trust any Laurel people.

It’s made me re-evaluate relationships in my life. I’m terrified to play this to my wife for fear of finding out she’s a Laurel person. More than anything I’m scared by the small segment of people who claim they hear “both,” which I believe is just witchcraft.

I don’t know what this video is but it’s cursed and tearing us apart. It’s probably Kanye’s new track.

#TeamLaurel by Matt Ellentuck, card-carrying Laurel-fan

I’ve listened to this supposedly mindblowing video at least 15 times only to find there are two “Laurels” every time, and not a single “Yanny.” How does anyone hear the “Y” sound when it so clearly starts with an “L?”

For some background, I was a person who saw both the black and blue, and white and gold dress depending on the day, but this argument is clear. It’s Laurel. You are wrong if you disagree with me. Very wrong. Very, very, very wrong. Stop looking for attention, “Yanny” people.

(What the heck is a Yanny anyway?)

IS IT YANNY OR LAUREL?!

No matter what you hear, everyone can agree with J.J. Watt on this point:
