The word for today is…
vociferous (adjective):
: marked by or given to vehement insistent outcry
Source : Merriam -Webster
Etymology :To vociferate is “to cry out loudly” so it’s perhaps unsurprising that the adjective vociferous is used to describe those who are loud and proud, who show their support or displeasure for something or someone by shouting and making a great noisy fuss. Both vociferate and vociferous come from the Latin vociferari, a combining of vox, meaning “voice,” with ferre, meaning “to carry.” In addition to describing loud and insistent individuals and groups—critics, crowds, fans, et al.—vociferous can be used for anything characterized by loud insistence, as in “vociferous complaints,” “a vociferous defense,” and “vociferous support.”
