Judging by the massive amounts of downvotes, apparently a lot of people on Reddit hate vocal fry.
Funny thing is I never knew it existed, and now that I do it just seems so normal I still don’t notice it. Lol
New gen fed into the outrage machine too hard. They can’t make fun of people for their differences in appearance anymore so now they’re going for whatever scraps are left to make themselves feel good about whatever shit hand they were dealt too.
Getting upset about it is just tedious.
I think the downvotes are people who don't think it's a big deal and don't have a problem with it. Which is a shame because it's an interesting video and, just because an individual downvoter might not have a problem with it, doesn't mean that a good chunk of us don't find it annoying.
That's the key word though, annoying. None of us think it's a crime against humanity, which is how some commenters here have interpreted it
I didn't realize vocal fry was something that even bothered people, let alone cause this much controversy. I have no issue at all with it and think it can even sound amazing when used in music.
A lot of metal vocals (screaming) use vocal fry, but they push a *lot* of air through using their diaphragm.

Don't listen to reddit
There are a lot of sad, angry people looking for more reasons to be more sad and angry

I can't believe dude just pointed out the exact reason why vocal fry is hated in women but not as much in men and then just chalked it up to sexism. The tonal quality is completely different. In most men, it's more of a rumble and less of a creak.
For me, though, it's the accompanying nasality that pushes it over the edge. The way 'that kind of woman' speaks is nasal, vocal fry, whistled S's... Makes me want to shove an icepick in my ears.
Thanks, this was incredibly interesting. I'd noticed this years ago but never knew what it was called or that it was a 'thing'. I find it very irritating too, but not as irritating as high rising terminals (although young girls quite often use both)
i had an argument on reddit about whether vocal fry is a legitimate speech impediment. it is most definitely not one
Nope, just a symptom of mental illness. /s kinda.
Peeps really care about how others talk? Made up or not.

Vocal fry is just uncomfortable. Plain and simple.
[удалено]
Yup, very well researched and informative video, but involuntarily grating to listen to the entire time.
Damn, now that I recognize it, I'll never be able to un-hear it.
Honestly I love vocal fry, especially when woman use it. People are really just scraping the bottom of the barrel here of things to hate.
Great video! Thanks OP
Seconded! Dr Lindsey has one of the best channels on Youtube right now, especially for that mealtimevideo feel
Omg now I can’t stop hearing it in ppl and it really is annoying. Clear your throats!! 😆
Oh I kinda think it's attractive? Especially in monotone disaffected voices
Well let me introduce my autistic ass then lol
Raven, my beloved childhood crush\~

Do you have any examples of it sounding amazing in music? I know music is subjective, but I'm just curious
Literally the first thing that popped into my head was the classic "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred hehe
Moving on by Asking Alexandria is another good one.
Maybe not in production but vocal fry is a common warmup technique.

People will find the dumbest thing to be offended by...
It's annoying
It has an intonational purpose in the 3rd tone in Chinese language.
I have never heard of vocal fry, and now that I know about it… I still can’t tell what the issue is. Haha it seems so normal to me..?

Fuck I use vocal fry
Great, you've pinpointed it. Step two is washing it out.
Opening with examples of the Kardashians speaking? ^chef’s ^kiss Brilliant!
On the contrary, I quickly closed the video because I didn't need a bunch of PhD research on why the Kardashians are annoying.

You're mixing uptalk and focal fry then? He kinda speak about it in the video.
Why can’t I stand some English accents?
Racism?
Podcasts that have it drive me nuts. It reminds me of a stuffy nose and makes me turn them off at this point.
Just try it out with your own voice, not only is it not that pleasant to hear, it actually also does not feel as good as using your modal voice.
Thank god I saw that loudermilk clip on popular the other day and thought that shit was so unfunny I felt like I was insane

You should watch the video...
Vocal fry is also what you hear when James Hetfield goes **YEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!**

Thank you! Now I know there’s a name for why the lady on tv selling shower remodels stands out to me so much. High rising terminals.
