There are alot of bands who are better than them.

My typical classification of emo/hardcore/screamo is this:
If the band says they are screamo/emo/hardcore, I'll accept their classification..

The Dreaming classified themselves as Screamo, so I'll accept that.
if Cannibal Corpse said they were emo, would they be emo? if Napalm Death said they were screamo, would they be screamo? there's a reason for all of these genres of music, they have names because they sound a certain way. Ampere's myspace says they're Punk, but they're clearly screamo. why keep saying Stabbing Westward and the Dreaming are better than hardcore and screamo bands when they aren't even in the same league? you can't compare apples and oranges, brah.

answer my question, what exactly does emo, screamo, and hardcore sound like if you know so much?
