last night I picked up some of the sickest Carpenter Brut and HEALTH shirts ever like this one

@phnt my bad i'm not accustomed to the arts.

i am usually a defender of shitty lyrics because vocals are just another instrument. shitty lyrics still bother me because once y'listen y'can't unlisten. BUT. scream vocals are just the boomers "modern art". it isn't fucking listenable, nigger. someone should've slapped these kids the moment they got louder than ~80dB.

@f0x You can make harsh screaming vocals work, it isn't rocket science, but you need to contrast it with something that people think of as tame and not harsh. Otherwise it is boring and doesn't bring anything to the songs. It's just more noise.

You can have shitty lyrics, screaming vocals, loopy song and still make it sort of work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg_Gz8Xg2p4

@f0x @bajax Coincidentally a lot of bands in the symphonic metal and friends crowd figured it out years ago. Have both, a main female singer and a guy in the back that can make harsh vocals to contrast the song.

@phnt @bajax @f0x meanwhile pantera: let's get the guy from anal cunt
