I actually agree that certain screamo bands border on grindcore, a prime example being orchid.

Yeah. I sometimes call certain bands having grind-ish influences and elements, but in an overall general statement, I wouldnt even say grindcore and screamo are similar.


But a few prime examples are Orchid, Bucket Full Of Teeth, Phoenix Bodies, and A Fine Boat, That Coffin!


But the latest wave of screamo has influences from nearly anything. We're living in a current state where you can mix practically anything in and still be screamo. Look at the past 4 or so years of the genre (various bands fusing in elements of post-rock, grind, hardcore/punk, jazz, metalcore, electronics, etc. etc.)

RAWRRRRR

<3 nice artical

you sir are my hero for this

next time i hear some kid call __________band screamo
im going to show them this

Thank-you, this is a very nice article!

I almost can't agree that screamo exists.

It usually falls into a diffrent catagory most of the time.

wat

Yeah my personal opinion is I just classifie them as rock unless it serious cut you wrists and drink the blood type Emo.

But even then I classifie it as Emo and not screamo. I mean u can't say something is diffrent just because they screamed in one or too of the songs right?

Did you read the thread?

:rofl:

wtf are you talking about?
Read the education thread....Please, save yourself.

Its an opinion dude. U dont need education to voice an opinion.

And trust me im all over that thread.

Honestly I think people classify something as emo or screamo because of the lyrics. And thats wrong. And im srry if a rapper started rapping about his tractor does that make it country?

So there you go ... I think this thread is wrong in the first place.

I remember when Story of the year was Screamo. But there not. There pop rock.

You're right, but you need education to voice an opinion that doesn't make you look like an idiot.

Reversal Of Man

Welcome the Plague Year

emo lyrics what?

Not Emo or Screamo dude.

Story Of The Year was post-hardcore at best. Or are you one of those people who thinks that screamo is any music with screaming? In that case, you'd be wrong because many bands who have nothing to do with screamo or hardcore use screaming. The crunk rock family force 5 has used it, nu-metal bands like Slipknot have used it, and grindcore bands like Anal C*** pretty much base their music off of it.

that's not a good enough answer, tell me what the hell emo or screamo is then if you want to challenge the definition of the entire emo forum.

Dude im trying to say that Emo and Screamo don't exist.

I feel like people say bands are Emo or Screamo because of lyrics. When pop rock, or post punk, or something in that area are usually what they should be classified as.

yes... but aside from all the bull**** pop, there ARE genres called emo or screamo, that have nothing to do with all of that

uh...of course it exists...That's like saying Rock N' Roll doesn't exist. Each genre forms from another one with a special and unique twist, saying a genre doesn't exist when it's widely accepted as a genre is just plan wrong.


Lyrics play a minimal role in defining genre.....and pop rock? I think alot of bands would be pissed to hear that they should be catagorized as pop punk..

if you want the best example of screamo, just listen to underoath

I hope this is a fake account. Otherwise, you are a complete annoyance. you come into every single thread jocking the **** out of the latest Solid State garbage band. Shut up.

yeah only that ISN'T screamo.

lrn2skramo

Im so disssapointed in you all, Underoath is seriously the greatest screamo band of our generation...right behind Alessana

i think this is the part where some elitist scenester (if they still even exist...) comes in and says "They WERE screamo, listen to their first 2 albums, so brootal!!!1!1!!!!jesustapdancingchristonastick!!!! !"

They WERE screamo!

Heart of Darkness and Act of Depression were so brutal dudes!
Jesuspower!

joseph konrad is skramz.

Hahaha Freudian Slip.
Meant "Heart of Stone".
I mean Cries of the Past is totally scramz.
And, don't correct me bcuz 1m a scenester from 2000 who was all into J3sus then went wit the sXe crowd in 2004 bcuz it wuz c00l to d0!1
I know everything!
Now I have a bunch of tatoos I don't want.
:(

lol, I really wonder what all these scenesters are going to do when they're fricking 60 years oldand still have full sleeves of tatoos and ****.

Lol, I wonder that too.

For the record, I love Underoath. :shycouch:

die, lol kidding

The Locust's music is emotional, its just expressed in a weird way. Not "emo" or "screamo" though.

Either way, The Locust kicks more arse then an arse kicker.

I think the Locust draws more influence from powerviolence, their screams are original and passionate though

Which document should I start on for Pg. 99?

go for Document 8, their most acclaimed, then I would say 5

Does anybody know where I can find lyrics to any Closure songs?

I figured if I could find Anasarca lyrics, I'd be able to find some Closure lyrics, but so far no luck : (

damn dude nice, I love both of those bands. maybe post on The Poet You Never Were

or VLV: Where we hate fun

both of those places have really knowledgeable people that actually have the vinyl

Okay thanks, I needed some direction for those.

i always thought these genre labels were made up by the folks who send u the 99 cds for a penny mailers

how insightful.
