Are you stressed? Do you live in Chicago? Are you free Sunday mornings and interested in screaming at Lake Michigan with a group of a hundred strangers? If yes, then boy, do I have great news for you, because Chicago is home to the hottest and loudest new club in the country: the Scream Club.

The Scream Club, which is exactly as it sounds, is a way for people to get together on the weekends and let out all their rage and anger in a safe, communal environment.

Over the last few years, “club” culture has come back in a huge way, and I’m not talking about sweating in a dirty warehouse with bad EDM music blasting through the speakers, but run clubs, paint clubs and the like. At a moment in history when adults are spending more and more time at work and less time socializing with their friends, people are starved for real human connection.

And while most of the news reports covering the Scream Club are making the participants out to be losers, I’d like to counter by saying that screaming at the top of your lungs feels great and more people should do it.

I just think instead of screaming at an innocent lake, they should scream at their bosses or someone else who deserves it.
