i find that very hard to listen to

Na, you're just narrow minded.

Na, I'll stick to jazz/indie/classic rock/ and what ever shit I feel like listening too that doesn't rape my eardrums.

ive come tithe conclusion that pretty much everyone has the capacity to enjoy stuff like this but the combination of the very very small variety of music one is generally exposed to + cultural standards for good music keep a lot of people from enjoying it

from an objective standpoint harsh vocals really aren't that sonically different from a lot of percussion instruments and generally people who enjoy them critically evaluate them in a very similar manner that you'd evaluate percussion instruments. melodic vocals are judged using very different criteria but unfortunately since like 99% of the music the majority of people are exposed to at a young age has melodic vocals people automatically apply that same criteria to harsh vocals even though that's the equivelant of using the standards you'd judge a guitarist with to judge a drummer.

so like yeah i get why most people think this sort of stuff has awful vocals but i can bet u in 9/10 cases that doesn't have to do with the way they all sound but rather the culture surrounding music. as for the specific instrumentation of that car bomb song i linked that's a whole other story and the super technical start/stop vibe it has going is more of an acquired taste
