[[Nose Yodeling]] is a singing style popularized in [[The Nineties]], in particular in [[Grunge]] and [[Post-Grunge]] bands, and has featured in a lot of indie music since. [[Older Than They Think|It dates back much further]], however, having been popular with folk singers since at least the early twentieth century.
 
It is characterised by a nasal baritone drone, with many of the words being slurred or unenunciated, thus making singers who choose this style prone to becoming [[The Unintelligible]] and their audience prone to [[Mondegreen]]s. This type of singing is controversial among music fans. It tends to add a rough edge to a song, which may or may not be desirable, depending on the genre.

See also: [[Perishing Alt Rock Voice]], which frequently overlaps with this trope. Both can be seen as vocal equivalents of [[Three Chords and the Truth]].
