Look, while (unlike most here) I actually like the growling asthetic, I do have to agree with them that it's a lot easier than "singing."

Both my brother and I can growl very well and yet can't sing a note.


It's like anything; some tasks and skills come easier to some people than they do to others. Also, while some use growling because it genuinely expresses the point they're trying to get across others use it as a crutch much like some guitarists shred because it's appropriate for the song while others do it as a means to hide the fact that their phrasing sucks.
