I used to hate it but now I'm grateful because it means it takes 2 seconds to know that the speaker has nothing to say that I want to hear

I thought it came about during the valley girl period. And yes, it is annoying.

The "this American life" pod did an episode on vocal fry in Jan 2015. It's called Freedom Fries and answers all the "unknown" questions that you mentioned

For me it just sounds arrogant and egocentric. And that might make me angry, yes :)

Also, Didn't Moon Unit Zappa use it back in 1982 in "Valley Girl" - to satirize the Valley Girl speech that has already taken hold in the San Fernando Valley? Totally.

I feel like the Valley Girl accent of 80s/90s fame had a pretty heavy emphasis on vocal fry

As a voice therapist, I work with many people who have pathological vocal fry. In most cases, just bringing it to their awareness and correcting them is enough to fix it. It annoys people because it is produced by lack of physical effort from the breath support muscles and lack of vocal projection. It’s subconsciously viewed as a fake, “You’re not worthy or I can’t be bothered by you” voice, which is rude. To correct it, use more energy from the breath support muscles (the abs and other surrounding muscles in the lower torso) and aim the voice at the level of the lips (speak from the lips and not your throat). To get in touch with your breath support muscles, sustain a loud “shhhh” (as if angrily telling someone to be quiet) and pay attention to how your breath support muscles contract/tighten. This will also help to improve your singing!
