Scream rap is a subgenre of hip hop characterized by its intense, abrasive sound and emotive, often chaotic, vocals. Emerging in the mid-2010s, scream rap draws from the sonic experimentation of noise and industrial music, incorporating distorted, fuzz-laden instrumentation and frantic, breakneck rhythms. Vocal styles range from screamed, punk-influenced deliveries to melodic, Auto-Tune-infused hooks. Born from the internet's underground music scene, scream rap reflects the anxieties and frustrations of a disillusioned, digital-native generation. Its cultural significance lies in its rejection of mainstream hip hop's polished, commercialized norms, embracing instead a raw, DIY ethos that resonates with fans seeking authenticity. Scream rap's sonic extremity and emotional intensity set it apart from other hip hop subgenres, forging a unique sound that is both cathartic and captivating.
