I honestly didn't copy it from anywhere. That's one of the only bands I know the name of that screams alot. Who knew bands that scream their song lyrics could fit into so many different genres of music?

I obviously don't know enough about this, so I'll bow out of the conversation with the simple statement that I simply don't like bands who scream throughout the entire song, no matter what the genre. Screamo, death metal, or whatever the case may be.

No wonder you think its terrible if thats thoose are the kind of bands your basing it on

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 fuck 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.

Hawthorne Heights? Post-hardcore? Someone has never listened to Fugazi or At The Drive In.

I'm going to lock this thread because its 135 pages of useless bitching. Besides we all know the real worst band is Led Zeppelin.
