screamo

Generally the term Screamo refers to a branch of hardcore popularised in the 1990's by bands such as City of Caterpillar, Envy, Orchid, Saetia et al. Often features dischordant riffs, high-pitched screams, some spoken-word vocals (Saetia were known to utilize this technique quite often), and quite often the recordings were very lo-fi, and grainy.However the term has been heavily popularised by MTV as a reference to the pop-punk/emo bands of the new century (Finch, Story of the Year etc).



screamo
screamo is a term that refers to recent bands that play old style emo. Most pinpoint the first use of the term to Saetia. When the media started to label pop punk and indie rock bands emo, people needed a new word to describe the style of music that used to be characterized with emo. Some say screamo is a little more artsy and pretentious than older emo, but that's arguable.
Example:
saetia, orchid, the spirit of versailles, neil perry, joshua fit for battle, yaphet kotto, most bands on ebullition and level-plane records


screamo
Subdivision of emo and hardcore, generally having more similarities to hardcore in terms of instrumentals, but lyrics are closer to emo. Screamed or spoken-word vocals, laden over soft, proggy riffs or crashing metal madness, more the latter. Mostly dead by now, as the genre was already heavily explored in the 90's by bands such as Hot Cross, Saetia and Orchid.

Most modern (post-2000, really) bands referred to as screamo are either emocore, such as Alexisonfire and Thursday, or mall punks wearing eyeliner and trying to be scary, such as The Used and My Chemical Romance. Derision should not be layed against such mall punk bands, however, as they still have enough balls to wreck their vocal chords while singing about how they're just kids and thier lives are nightmares.
Example:
"Man, this Level-Plane screamo stuff is way too hardcore for my ears. But hot damn, those are some cool riffs." CORRECT

"The Used is a great screamo band." INCORRECT


screamo
Screamo is emotional post-hardcore music. It is not pretentious, only the people involved can make it that way. It is not a trend, only the people involved can make it that way.
Note : Just because you heard The Used and Finch and thought they were screamo doesn't make them the first ones to do it, and doesn't make it screamo. They are very far from it. I doubt you'll hear Hot Cross or Yaphet Kotto on the radio anytime soon - and that's just the way we like it.
Example:
Saetia, Hot Cross, Yaphet Kotto, The Assistant, Neil Perry, You and I, Off Minor, Kaospilot, Racebannon, The Kodan Armada, Circle Takes the Square, Orchid, pg.99, City of Caterpillar, Usurp Synapse, An Albatross, Bear vs. Shark, Since by Man, Transistor Transistor, and plenty more.


screamo
A style of music that has emo influence but instead of whiny pussy singing has mostly screamo. The Used, Thursday and Thrice are not screamo and if you think so, your wrong bitch!
Example:
Saetia, Joshua Fit for Battle, Orchid, Neil Perry...and The Assistant..you have probably never heard of any of these bands


screamo
leik lol screamo is hawthorne higehts and finch and taking abck sunday and atreyu- NO YOU ARE FUCKING WRONG. Wow, I looked at the first 10 definitions and saw Circle Takes the Square,hot cross, and some other good screamo bands. and I was like, wow, people on urban dictionary actually know what there talking about, and are probably all in their mid-20's. AND THEN SOME 14 YEAR OLD ASSHOLE CAME AND FUCKING SCREWED IT ALL UP! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT REAL SCREAMO IS, IF YOU EVER BELIEVED MTV FOR EVEN A SECOND.

bullet for my valentine is screamo? wow. you are a fucking stupid ass douchebag. Shut the fuck up. If you cant say something nice about screamo, then go eat a fatass tub of beans until you fucking die, asswipe.
Example:
Circle takes the Square, Hot Cross, Orchid, Envy = Screamo

thrice,the used,under0ATH,(new) = SHITTY ASS POP PUNK(not fucking screamo)

underoath(old), job for a cowboy, suicide silence = the best deathcore bands ever to grace the earth(just thought i'd give alittle extra credit to you 15 year old poontangs out there)


screamo
a term which refers to punky emo bands in the 90s. however dip shit teenagers will call metal, or any other music(even crunk-rap) with guttural vocals "screamo". basically like people calling earlobe stretching "gauging",people repeate phrases like these because its what they heard, from more dipshit teenagers.
Example:
metalhead 1:cannibal corpse fucking rules!
scene fag:oh meh gawd u liek screemo too?!
metalhead 1: this isnt screamo. these guys have actual knowledge of musical theory.do you even know how to play a minor scale fag? metal pwns the shit out of punk.
scene fag:liek its not punk!!!
(metalhead 1 kills scene fag)
