Clean vocals

Also called "cleans". Used mostly in the metalcore and post-hardcore community to describe regular singing, as some artists/bands in these genres often use screamed/growled vocals alongside regular singing.

"This band has pretty average screams, but the clean vocals are pretty good"
"The singer has really bad cleans"

switching vocals

Switching vocals; a sub-category within the nightcore genre that is more complex than regular nightcore. It consists of a different person than that of the original song singing it, and then being edited into nightcore. It's a very unique style that puts a very different twist to the original song itself.

Person 1: Isn't this song sung by only one person, a female?
Person 2: well originally yes, but this song is in switching vocals style, so now a male is singing it in a nightcore style.
