"everybody's clapping on the one and the three"
is a line from the Jason Isbell song The Last of My Kind

Anyone know if this is a reference to particular musical traditions where the emphasis is on 1,3 and those where 2,4 are the beat?
thanks
Without watching the video, it could be reference to the annoying habit non-musical crowds have of clapping on the wrong beats (1 and 3), ruining the feel of a song.
