Saetia,
Anomie, Portraits of Past, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You,
Indian Summer and The Saddest Landscape.Screamo is often a term used for bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Pierce The Veil, Escape The Fate, Falling In Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens or any other band that has used the technique in their songs.

A word used by dumb asses that have no knowledge or
education of metal or it's sub-genres. Used to describe any band that uses
harsh vocals with fast or
heavy metal music.
Example:
Dumbass - "What kind of music are you into?"
Me - "Mostly Deathcore and Death Metal, bands like
Oceano,
Thy Art is Murder, and
Dying Fetus."
Dumbass - "Oh so that screamo shit."
Me - "No."

Screamo is a genre of music which predominantly evolved from hardcore punk, among other genres, in the early 1990s. The term "screamo" was initially applied to a more aggressive offshoot of emo that developed in San Diego in 1991, which used short, chaotically executed songs which
grafted "spastic intensity to willfully experimental
dissonance and dynamics,"4 often with a political message. In the early 2000s, the genre name began to describe a different, slower and less
dissonant style that borrowed from alternative rock. The term's application to the "
second wave" is controversial among fans and practitioners of the earlier style.5 One musician observed that the term "has been kind of tainted in a way, especially in the States".

A disgusting and shitty excuse for music. It sounds like a mixture of
barking dogs and dying
muppets. Most of the screamo songs are about general
pointlessness and are almost impossible to understand what the singers are saying. Useful if your trying to give yourself a bad headache.

Example:
emo kid: screamo is the best type of metal
metalhead: shut up loser, screamo is gay and
not metal,
real metal is dio, slayer, iron maiden, pantera, and
anthrax

Example:
Screamo is a so-called genre of so-called music consisting of the
godawful noises made by some
misguided,
pampered, spoiled, suburban white kids who never worked a day in their life passing themselves off as some kind of band. Clueless kids trying to "scream out their angst" because they ran out of better things to do and they can't fart loud enough to really annoy people.

Worst attempt at anything that could be called music. Incorporates good guitarist, bassist, and precussionist (drummer) with shitty
whiny vocals. No one cares that you complain about how bad your life supposedly is. See the
poor people all around the world? Do you see them making poor excuses for "music"?
