Haha, I'm so sick of arguments about what is or isn't "emo".
To get back on topic: Yeah, screamo is dying. Most bands who were "screamo" have broken up or progressed to do more interesting stuff. The popular bands in the "scene" seem to be metalcore bands and that weird vocoder-pop stuff crap that's getting on Warped these days.
Probably the only band I still listen to from back when I liked that style is Alexisonfire. I guess you can still call them "screamo" since there's singing and screaming involved, but they come off more as a rock band to me. Plus, their sound has evolved so much in the past few years. I love 'em.
