Why holocaust rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for holocaust starts at the vowel โ the wide /ษห/, IPA /ษห/ โ and ends where the line ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 86, assonance 7,920, and consonance 3. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Holocaust rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
