Screamo: A Dying Style? (lyrics, electronic, rock, genre, albums)

riseagainstrocks · 12-20-2006, 06:08 PM

I have not heard a truly progressive or original screamo band since...well since forever pretty much. There is all these threads on Screamo bands that all sound the same. Octave chords, scream/sing overlaps. Introspective lyrics that are usually obscure with weird refrences. The most boring drumming ever.

I think people need to stop making more Screamo albums unless they're going to do something new.

Discuss?

I never saw the big deal in having an especially unique sound. As long as the songwriting is solid I'm buying. I hear plenty of different things. Some sounds more common than others but still.

i agree that it's time for this genre to progress a bit..but, for those who like that song...yeah cuz its all like one song...its great, lol! But no, some bands put their own unique twist on it but in general its been abit repetitive for a while now.

its a difficult genre to progress... as anything slightly different from the original sound is named as something else!

the bands are there though.

there's really nowhere for it to go.

Shouldn't you be listening to awesome stoner rock and bragging about how you're on drugs?

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
