Where are we going to yell?

[u/Mycologymommy]

I really just wanna scream into the universe and not look too crazy. Know a good spot? Help a mentally ill homie out.

[u/ElginLumpkin]

Downtown seems to be a popular place…

[u/jakeuwouldnot → u/ElginLumpkin]

was down there today. the deep baritoned & guttural screams bouncing off building corners in a chaotic manner was nostalgic. lived down there for a long ling time. i forgot the persistence of the cries, echoing about like the twilight bark, (only a call for missing meth).

[u/ElginLumpkin → u/jakeuwouldnot]

That was unexpectedly deep. I like that.

[u/tyvanius → u/ElginLumpkin]

A lot like some of the potholes just outside of downtown. I don't like those.

[u/dapper_old_gent → u/jakeuwouldnot]

The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.

The last scud of day holds back for me,
It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow’d wilds,

It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk.

I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun,
I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags.

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love,
If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles.

You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.

Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.

Incredible

[u/happytiger33 → u/Far_Parking_7358]

Classic whitman... yell in the whit...man....

[u/ThereMightBeDinos → u/ElginLumpkin]

Yeah, I was gonna suggest Keasey Square. Seems appropriate

[u/Lord_Chadagon → u/ElginLumpkin]

A few years ago I actually did that one night... thank god my life has improved exponentially since then.

[u/iggy_sheik → u/ElginLumpkin]

Or hwy 99

[u/Flashy_Abies_883 → u/ElginLumpkin]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[u/OkInevitable5020 → u/ElginLumpkin]

My first thought too. lol

[u/TyronePants]

I bet yelling at a passing train would be hard to notice above the noise.

[u/TyronePants → u/TyronePants]

The first rule of scream club is "aaaaaahhhhhh!". The second rule of scream club is let's meet up at the train tracks.

[u/karillia → u/TyronePants]

hilarious!

[u/StepOnm33]

autzen stadium on saturday at 4:30pm

[u/Far_Parking_7358 → u/StepOnm33]

🦆🦆🦆🦆

[u/jawid72 → u/StepOnm33]

Why that day and time?

[u/dc3p0 → u/jawid72]

There is a football game

[u/Brawnd-isim-o]

Downtown bus depot seems to be popular for this sort of sport👍

[u/HankScorpio82 → u/Brawnd-isim-o]

My brain went to the old greyhound stop with those low ceilings.

[u/iNardoman]

Wayne Morse Free Speech Plaza.

[u/O_O--ohboy → u/iNardoman]

LMFAO this is the most underrated comment. Take my upvote.

[u/NWTrailJunkie]

Lately, just about everywhere I go in Eugene there's someone yelling.

[u/FishermanUnited3178 → u/NWTrailJunkie]

Welcome to the tRump Era…

[u/IcyDesk5580 → u/FishermanUnited3178]

Stfu😂 why bring politics into it? Eugene has been the same before Trump even

[u/WifeofBath1984]

I was gonna say the woods outside of Oakridge but everyone else is saying downtown and that's much more convenient.

[u/Tough-Smoke-9569]

Parking garage downtown

[u/Excellent-Ad-829 → u/Tough-Smoke-9569]

Always a classic to rage scream ! Highly recommend

[u/BatSniper → u/Tough-Smoke-9569]

Yeah I’ve been there. Felt surprisingly good. Probably scared the other patrons.

[u/shewholaughslasts]

I always do my best and loudest yelling in my car....

[u/MelzBelz13 → u/shewholaughslasts]

Same. Roll up the windows and crank up the volume on the car stereo.

[u/shewholaughslasts → u/MelzBelz13]

Double bonus for NIN...

[u/FishermanUnited3178 → u/shewholaughslasts]

Don’t forget Pantera. Walk

[u/Mycologymommy → u/shewholaughslasts]

This is typically my go to - metal music up loud.

[u/loracarol]

You up for driving out to the coast? I like to go to North Jetty and go out as far as I can on the rocks. I've yelled so many things off there. Do be careful of the weather, though!

[u/Proud_Cauliflower400 → u/loracarol]

You're my kind of people's.

[u/Mantis_Toboggan--MD]

Maybe skinners butte, it's not too populated this time of year most times of the day. Possibly down along the river somewhere too, that new section on the south bank by the eweb building would be great for screaming out over the river and there's a pavilion so you can get the high ground on that damn river. (I like screaming at high up places or at the river)

[u/dc3p0]

The show Mr. robot taught me to yell underwater in a pool.

[u/Illustrious-Dog-6236]

I’m feel like doing the same thing right now

[u/lobster_claus]

I miss the 2020 afternoon howl. That's the only thing I miss about it.

[u/CoachBrooks]

15 years ago, I had an 70 year old buddy (named Jim, he’s since passed on). Jim was a distinguished, classy older dude. On one occasion it was sunny outside - he looked at me and declared “this would be a great day to head to the park and yell at people”

[u/QueerWiener420]

If you carry a guitar you can do it anywhere and call it folk punk 👍 you don't even have to play it, just drum on the body a bit.

[u/HankScorpio82 → u/QueerWiener420]

I want to scream at every person that adds folk to a music genre. It’s not folk music just because you suck.

[u/QueerWiener420 → u/HankScorpio82]

Careful, we'll just think you're joing in

[u/No_Frenz_Fred]

If you're old enough, you could try yelling at clouds.

[u/Dodge-n]

Jump in your car, this time of year I suggest a hoodie or jacket, drive to your nearest coffee place (I prefer Dutch) get a coffee and then jump on a rural road that’s not gonna be too busy (road rage doesn’t help), get some speed, roll the windows down, crank your favorite angry music and LET IT GOOOOOO.

You’ll thank me later.

[u/WolfeTone78]

Feel like doing that where I live this afternoon with all the leaf blowing militia out in force

[u/ONE-EYE-OPTIC → u/WolfeTone78]

Home and business owners trying to clean up after the storm and before leaf pick up? People just trying to do their jobs?

[u/wubb7]

On any sort of public transportation would be great

[u/thearteater69]

Any alleyway between Pearl & High Street will do the trick!

[u/kryodusk]

I was just on the phone trying to sort out health insurance so I just screamed into my ceiling.

[u/tylerprice2569]

Anywhere in Eugene… if you’re expecting another answer maybe you haven’t spent 10 minutes here lol

[u/Illustrious-Art-1817]

Have you been to Eugene? People scream in the street all the time. You'll fit right in!

[u/ooh_la-la]

The fairgrounds at 1am seem to be a popular place

[u/soljwf98]

Downtown is fine. I’ve definitely done it. You’ll look crazy but not out of the norm!

[u/earwaxdaddy]

Personally I prefer the river. It's roaring lately and is asking for more 🦁

[u/Pleasebenicetome3]

If you can go to the coast, go scream at the ocean. It's loud and mostly no one can hear you if you're far away from others. It's liberating

[u/Fantastic_Baseball45]

Into the void. We are incessantly yelling into the void. lmk if/when there is a pop-up primal rage scream gathering. 😱

[u/mindinthepsandqs]

Boat dock before junction city.

[u/Complex_Performer_63]

Knickerbocker bridge

[u/Regular_Two_6358]

I like fall creek for this to be honest…

[u/booitsE]

Yell in your pillow like a normal person 🙄

[u/Budkid]

This was asked a couple months ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Eugene/s/gnA1zlZfQt

[u/Ok-Raccoon3829]

Heard one by the Eugene Station a couple months back, pretty good spot ngl

[u/Crafty_Effective_995]

Under any bridge.

[u/Organic_JP]

Yeah i usually just go downtown and do it with a beer in my hand. Don't be scared let loose

[u/peterodactyl]

A hardcore show

[u/Excellent_Culture_97]

I think a good scream at the top of Spencer’s butte would be therapeutic

[u/clowdjumper]

Go get lost on the Ridgline trails. Easy to get turned around. BONUS: beautiful scenery and nobody around to hear you scream at the universe.

[u/saabstory14]

Inside cars make good places imo.

[u/Thank_You_Aziz]

Top of Spencer’s Butte in the evening.

[u/Logical_Ad_5431]

Saw (and heard!) someone last week in front of M.Jacobs Fine Furniture on Olive St. exercising their lungs in a refreshingly loud and uninhibited manner. Kind of like what you're describing here. So that seems like a good place.

[u/Mfntrev]

In our cars with the windows up

[u/Limp_Discipline1344]

Parking garage at 1am on a Sunday night. The absence of cars allows the void to scream back. Would also highly recommend doing it while you reline a Honda at the same time. (Not a joke. It’s awesome)

[u/[deleted]]

When it's cloudy, anywhere if you are an old man.

[u/Severe_Low3587]

Into a pillow

[u/Consistent-Scratch89]

Go into a bar or restaurant and get in their walk-in.

[u/HeyPachuco86]

Inside the Papas Pizza bathroom was a novel one. Frog’s death has resonated amongst the natives indeed

[u/Potato_Donkey_1]

Into a pillow indoors works for me. Otherwise, a deserted stretch on the coast when the surf and wind are up.

[u/Dry-Sir-919]

If you have a car thats always a good place. Find a nice quiet place to park turn some music on and scream away. Or, into a big bowl of water. Those are 2 of my favorite places to let it rip. I hope this helps.

[u/Scornlover2022]

I prefer Flogsta, Sweden. You can scream to your hearts content in the dark of the night and nobody will ever judge you.

[u/MyNameIsBarktooth]

Get an Aztec death whistle and scare the crap out of someone by the river at night

[u/washington_jefferson]

How about just moving on? Not much in life is unexpected. You've got to learn to accept things as they are dealt. Stop yelling, I'd say. The election, for example. Nobody here is happy about the result, but you have to move on.

[u/danielediabla → u/washington_jefferson]

I’m quite happy about it!
