Question

What is screamo and what is the esscene of a screamo?

Answer 1

i'm a little confused as to why this question is in the "dining out" category but...

screamo is just a band that screams their lyrics. i personally don't enjoy a song that is entirely of screaming (although i don't mind a song with screaming in it)

...and like all music you would listen to it because you can relate to the emotion the music is expressing. we all listen to music for different reasons but a lot of us listen to things we can relate to not only lyrically but emotionally.

i hope that answers the question :D

Answer 2

screamo is screaming emotional music and i use to like it but no i dont see a point in it

Answer 3

It is emotional music, but its kinda hard to understand.

They people that are singing, are singing in a screaming voice.

- 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.

- Urban Dictionary.

bands:

-Hot Cross

-Saetia

-Orchid

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.

"Man, this Level-Plane screamo stuff is way too hardcore for my ears. But hot d**n, those are some cool riffs." CORRECT

"The Used is a great screamo band." INCORRECT
