Look up 'sonic earplugs'. They are very different from the foam variety. They don't plug up your ears and create a vacuum problem in your eustachian tubes like the foam ones will. They are ventilated and designed to cut sound without being hard on the ears.
I had a pair for many years being a musician. They are a little more expensive, but they are worth it, imo.
You can usually find them at a music store.
YAY!!!! We got a music store not too far, too! No more Ms. Pissy in the morning.
Yea Katrin has a point. I like music in different styles, from different decades and what-not. I can agree that, I as a modern person could undeniably justify, that music is getting crappier by the volumes. There's no actual special talent put into rap, though, as the Boar says, it has a lot of meaning. Well if it has a lot of meaning then why have I yet come across a meaningful rap song in all my time spent with my rap-loving aunts and cousins?
Indeed, Screamo may be hard to listen to for people who aren't used to it, but even I, a person who generally doesn't pay too much attention to musical lyrics, can discern clear lyrics from such songs. Maybe Detroit is playing the stuff too loud intentionally as to try to disprove our point?
And, yes, it would require a lot to just learn how to "scream" without doing significant damage to your larynx. I highly doubt it takes any type of specialised training to learn how to put together rhyming lyrics. A child in 4th grade could do that just well - they just need the broader vocabulary they gain over the years until they are of an employable age.
I'm fat and sassy! I love to sing & dance & stomp my feet & really rock your world!
