R&P Metalheads: Has anyone ever called your music screamo? Or emo?

Question

I know it's silly and I'm bored but doesn't this happen to other metalheads? I always have to point out that it isn't screaming.

Am I being too technical? Should I go just go, okay whatever.

I'm not sure why it bothers me to have my music called screamo, since screamo by itself is another genre(which i dislike alot).

Bah anyways.

MQ- Anyone like Korpiklaani's new album? Korven Kuningas.

Answer 1

stupid emos  

Answer 2

Yes. The ignorant baztards.

Emo and Screamo are two completely different genres, and are completely different than heavy metal.

Answer 3

I'm gonna answer this question with a non metal band (hope you don't mind) Fortunately AND unfortunately, Queens of the Stone age is undderrated and not that well known. Fortunately: They have escaped MTV and posers who will "become real fans". Unfortunately: Although plenty of people know them, they don't the credit they deserve.

I read an article on Stoner rock, claiming it was for pot heads who were too buzzed to listen to real music. I have never smoked at all in my short life, nor do I plan to. Just goes to show you about generalizations

Answer 4

Some times but everyone who does, listens to S****y country music or rap.  *shudders*  

Answer 5

A lot of people call melodic death metal screamo.

Clearly these people have no idea what they are talking about.

Answer 6

Screamo? I thought that was metal music. After all isn't Metal basically music mixed with nicely placed screaming?  

Answer 7

Ye it happens....but then again I guess people call Jonas Brothers Good....so obviously a lot of people have no idea bout music!

Peace

Answer 8

Yes.

So many people at my school say Children of Bodom is emo.

It really pisses me off.

Answer 9

Yup.

Opeth (death metal)

Frost Like Ashes (black metal)

Immortal (black metal)

All been called Emo

MQ: Haven't heard it yet :(

Answer 10

LOL, YES. And I butcher them, and burn their souls. And everyone likes Korpiklaani's album.  

Answer 11

Yes, I get that lots.. Its annoying but I'll take it. It won't kill me (but I might kill them)

MQ: yes! I got it when it came out! Its really awesome!

Answer 12

Yeah. Usually by people who wouldn't know the difference between Europop and black metal if they were smacked in the face... god there are some real morons on this earth. I just ignore it. You're right to point out that the music isn't screaming, that kind of deflates their argument, now doesn't it lol.

I don't like credible bands being lumped in with the reject halfhearted efforts these days that call themselves 'bands.' There should be some sort of screening process before you're able to call yourself a 'band.'

MQ: Haven't listened

Edit: Oh wow. There is no excuse for that!

Answer 13

I just correct someone and maybe explain the differences. I'm not protective over music like you seem to be. I mainly listen to jazz and progressive, like Dream Theater, but I do listen to the viking/black stuff also.

I haven't got to hear Korpiklaani's new album, but I suspect the greatness of the older ones. I think I'll go listen to Happy Little Boozer.

Answer 14

they don't understand us. ignore them

Answer 15

I'd say you're overreacting. Just say "okay" or "whatever" and move on.

Answer 16

I hate when that happens.

People at my school call The Haunted emo. It's so annoying. And then if I wear a COB shirt with a grim reaper on it, people assume I'm obsessed with death.

lol about the Marilyn Manson story..
