And they all have stupid band names that are either really long (like 'The Birds are Spies, They Report to the Trees' or 'I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook' or 'Noisy Sins of the Insect') or some obscure reference to God knows what ('The Khayembii Communiqué' or 'Loma Prieta' or 'The Death of Anna Karina' or 'June Paik' or 'Yaphet Kotto' etc. etc.), but that's not really 'unpopular'.

Well, obviously I kind of disagree with this entire bit.
Firstly, Yaphet Kotto sounds nothing like Daitro, who in turn sound nothing like Sed Non Satiata who sound nothing like pageninetynine who sound nothing like Neil Perry who sound nothing like iwouldsetmyselfonfireforyou who sound nothing like Saetia (of course, I could go on, but I'll desist at this point).
Secondly, why would you have a fit about band names? And pigeonhole it to this genre, or perhaps Metal bands are much more innovative? or maybe indie bands are, actually?
This screamo hate always seems a bit displaced and I've never been able to understand why.
