Words that rhyme with Aggression
From a sound-design view, aggression is a concept-anchor on the front /ษ/, three-syllable, and it hums to a nasal close. It's a concept-word that wants a concrete rhyme to ground it. When a songwriter asks what rhymes with aggression, the pool tells a specific story: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, the family-rhyme classifier finds nothing, and the assonance options multiply into the thousands. Lyrically, the word arrives as a non-image word. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why aggression rhymes the way it does
Aggression is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front /ษ/, then it lets the nasal carry the tail. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 29 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 88, assonance 12,777, and consonance 855. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Aggression is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
