haha now alllmusic is telling me that hh is "post hardcore/emo pop"
whatever. i made a sweeping, generalizing statement that any fan of the genre would understandably disagree with. apparently i'm basing my opinions on the wrong screamo bands, but at the same time also dislike the genuine article that crowquill posted. but this little discussion is about to go in circles, so f
uck it. now it just looks like i hate what i perceived to be screamo and ALSO actual screamo. thanks for clearing that up for me

I'm interested to hear the connection between all these bands that makes them the same genre since obviously you totally knwo what you're talking about.

no, you're absolutely right. i don't know what i'm talking about. to argue with the above quote would be silly. but at the same time i reserve my right to hate screamo without doing the research or listening to all of the bands. i've heard enough. from know on, i will base my dislike for screamo solely on that youtube clip you posted. i know it's completely narrowminded, and if i lose cool points for it, so be it. i thought i could depend on allmusic to see which bands were considered screamo, but i guess not.
