showier

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'louder' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are comparative adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'individual welcomed among rabble' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'individual' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one, ie individual) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'rabble' could be 'shower' (I've seen this before) and 'shower' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for showier that I've seen before include "Flasher" , "more conspicuous" , "More ostentatious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
