Do you like music with screaming vocals?

Asked by rockfan (14632points) November 23rd, 2020 from iPhone

When I was younger I was drawn to music with a lot of screaming, hard rock, metal, alternative, etc. But the screaming always had to be contrasted with melodic choruses or a funk metal groove, like Rage Against the Machine. Lately I’ve been into this kind of screaming in music, contrasted with soft/loud dynamics:

Usually only in moderation, or when it works in a way I like. It’s never “oh, screaming, great, I like screaming music, so I like this.”

It’s also not “I dislike all music that screams”, but in general I think I prefer mostly non-screaming music.

As a teen, the louder the better; but as I’m growing older, not so much. I didn’t care for her idea of “quiet”

I like some songs with screams in them, like “Know Your Enemy” by Green Day. But I don’t want a whole song of that.

Yes.

That’s my thing, honestly. i grew up on Hardcore Punk and still consider it my culture.

When people ask why I like it, I try to explain that the screaming is a reflection of the intensity of the emotions expressed in the lyrics. I can relate to someone ‘yelling’ about fighting injustice. Put some crazy fast music behind it and it’s addicting!

The song sounded like a song that my Mom used to listen to (without the screaming). This was so distracting that I can’t remember the name of Mom’s song

Certainly. When there’s contrast.

Or even without contrast.

Best scream in rock and roll. Nobody is like Daltrey.

No. Except some Zep and some Aerosmith.

Same as @Dutchess_III. Mostly no, except for some Aerosmith and lots of Zeppelin. I did enjoy the Bjork link. I think it was artfully done.

Glad you dug them. Also, Agalloch are just nine kinds of awesome! Especially The Mantle. ‘In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion’ is one of my favorites.
