Hate this type of vocal

I can't stand the whiny angsty emo singing, I've been tying to get into bright eyes and a solo artist called Elliot Smith.

Both are things I enjoy musically, neither sound emo ( and by emo I mean what is associated as emo now, not 90's emo which was closer to indie rock)

They're indie folk bands/ artists which isn't at all emo but as soon as they open their mouth I have to turn it off, I can't stand it I have to turn it off despite liking the music. Anyone have this or are there any other bands you like instrumentaly but hate the vocals

    I remember when Elliot smith stabbed himself to death, a totally fucked up way to kill yourself.

    • I doubt New wave emo's would even know who they are, they wear clothes inspired by that time but thinking that it's all New but I meant this sort of shit that's one min heavy screaming crap but the next it's whiney tween crap

        Hahaha... I know, it's like they can't decide what type of crap they wanna be, cause either way it's crap.

    I don't like whiny vocals either. I also can't stand screamo vocals.

    • I only like one band with screaming that's not low in the mix like shoegaze and it's because his vocals change gradually throughout, it builds and builds, but even his voice is pushing it for me, it's more 90's indie emo voice than modern day, also they have a more alternate/experimental side on some songs
