Alleged Voice Trend: ‘Vocal Fry’

Is this really a trend?  Is the creaky voice entering the mainstream of the English language?

Was it really inspired by today's young female pop starts or was it Terri Apple back in the late 80's?

Is it  vocal vulgarity? Will the "Vocal Fry"become apparent in voiceover?

Will it wreck my vocal folds if I succumb?  Will I sound good or goofy?

Complete with an mp3 audio clip of "the fry", this  article in Science Now  is very explanatory.

Even  the Wall Street Journal covers it.

Think I'll get back to my daily voice warm ups, so at the end of the day, my voice won't feel fried!

Anyone who reads this please tell me your thoughts.
