Preventing raised div from moving based on screen width

I want to keep a div from moving up on mobile devices with smaller widths. I realize I could do it with media queries but I feel there is likely a cleaner way.

.wrapper {
  background: no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
  padding-top: 23%;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-align: center;
}
#titlebackground {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
#title {
  font-family: Consolas, monaco, monospace;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 5em;
  font-weight: 900;
  color: #fff;
  display: inline-block;
}
#titlelocation {
  position: relative;
  top: -50px;
}
<header>
  <div class="wrapper">
    <div id="titlelocation">
      <div id="titlebackground">
        <span id="title">My Title</span>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</header>

How do I raise the title so that it is higher than the center of the div, but prevent it from moving up even higher on lower resolutions?

Edit: to reproduce: run code snipped on full screen and then change screen width.. The div moves up the smaller the screen goes.

Your .wrapper has a percentage padding padding-top: 23%, so at mobile that is gonna be alot less than at desktop you can put a fixed px padding so it's the same across all devices.

.wrapper{
    background: no-repeat center center fixed;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
    padding-top: 100px;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-align: center;
}

Use absolute positioning. It's exactly what you're looking for:

.wrapper{
	background: no-repeat center center fixed;
	-webkit-background-size: cover;
	-moz-background-size: cover;
	-o-background-size: cover;
	background-size: cover;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-align: center;
}
#titlebackground {
     background: rgba(0 , 0 , 0 , .5);
}
#title {
      font-family: Consolas, monaco, monospace;
      text-align: center;
      font-size: 5em;
      font-weight: 900;
      color: #fff;
      display: inline-block;
}
#titlelocation {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 65%;
    width:100%;
}
<header>
      <div class="wrapper">
        <div id="titlelocation">
          <div id="titlebackground">
            <span id="title">My Title</span>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </header>

EDIT: Using vh as units for the padding is also possible, but won't work in all browsers, specially the old ones.

You can use css vh instead of percentage and then give your desire value to it. vhis measured regarding to the height of device.

.wrapper {
  background: no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
  padding-top: 65vh;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-align: center;
}
#titlebackground {
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
}
#title {
  font-family: Consolas, monaco, monospace;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 5em;
  font-weight: 900;
  color: #fff;
  display: inline-block;
}
#titlelocation {
  position: relative;
  top: -50px;
}
<header>
  <div class="wrapper">
    <div id="titlelocation">
      <div id="titlebackground">
        <span id="title">My Title</span>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</header>
