How is it horrible? If 1 person likes it makes it good music. (to them) And if you want to go to into opinions i dont' see how anyone can listen to some person speaking fast into a microphone and then auto-tuning is even considered music.

How is it phased out? If anything it's bigger than ever.

anyways heres my favorite song atm.

It's always got an agressive, angry tone to it, which I don't like. It's hard to understand most times. The people that listen to it are guys who like girls. And... it smells. We're all entitled to our opinions. I don't listen to this auto-tune shit either, but I do listen to Rap. I find old school rap (rarely anything good these days), to be like poetry, in which I can relate to some aspects.
Oh, the "phased out" thing... that was probably bad from me, considering it never phased in either. It has made like no impact commercially and probably never will.

I mean...Screaming into a microphone for 3 minutes is not music to me. Thats just my opinion. I mostly just like hard rock...Avenged sevenfold, Disturbed, System of a down, Etc...Half of the time you cant understand what people are saying in screamo songs...and most of the people that listen to scream are emos...Screamo(emos) hehe, that rhymes..But thats just my opinion so dont flame me for expressing it.

 

[Noodles :)]

That stereotype is so stupid.
I listen to a lot of the heavy stuff, and then the hardrockish stuff aswell.
I'm not and never will be an emo.

btw, screamo is somewhat considered a derogatory term to fans.

"screamo" is classified into to genre's:
metalcore, and death metal.

Metalcore (not to be confused with '80's metals, such as metallica) is lighter, and can feature some lighter riffs, and clean vocals.
Death metal, is mostly only screaming with extremely heavy riffs.

I'm more of a metalcore fan myself. I need some clean vocals every so often.

Also, before I hear "screamo takes no skill", you try and scream like you hear in screamo songs. It's not just yelling as loud as you can, it's about diaphragm manipulation and extended exhaling (inhale is for pussies). It takes years for you to be able to scream without it sounding like fucking garbage (ISMFOF anyone?)

Anyway, here is some copypasta of mine from an older thread of some of my favorite bands/songs


Bullet For My Valentine - Tears Don't Fall / Waking The Demon
The Devil Wears Prada - HTML RULEZ D00D / Des Moinez
As I Lay Dying - Confined
All That Remains - Two Weeks / Six / Passion / The Air That I Breathe
Never See Tomorrow - Here's Looking At You Kid / To The Depths / 1000 Miles (Great Cover)
Of Mice And Men (Attack Attack!'s vocalist reform band) - Second & Sebring / Poker Face
Settle The Sky - Cheyenne (Most EPIC Breakdown)
Buried in Verona - Five Bullet Russian Roulette
Slipknot - Sulfur / Psychosocial
Killswitch Engage - My Curse / The End Of Heartbreak

One's that I don't really listen to but friends like...

Abacabb
Suicide Silence
Bring Me The Horizon
White Chapel
I Killed The Prom Queen (broke up)

also, A Day To Remember is good, they just have too many clean vocals for it to be considered metalcore. If every song was similar to "I'm made of wax Larry, what are you made of?" they would be epic.

Attack Attack! but they overuse Autotune/Synths for it to be too much to my liking.

That's the most stupid shit I've ever read. Where the fucking hell did you get that from?
1. Screamo is it's own genre.
2. Screamo evolved from hardcore punk and emo. Metalcore comes from thrash and hardcore punk. Death metal comes form thrash and black metal.
3. None of the bands you listed are screamo. None are even Death Metal, the ones you think are death metal are "deathcore" which comes form metalcore and death metal.

I don't know where the fuck you got that from.

"In the early 2000s media, including music channels like MTV, magazines and numerous websites picked up the genre name and started labeling any band that uses screamed vocals as a screamo band. This common misconception leads people to falsely believe that many post-hardcore and alternative rock influenced pop rock bands like Alesana and Escape the Fate are screamo bands when in reality those bands have nothing in any way to do with the music genre. So now in pop culture the genre name is described as a completely different style of music by people who don't know what screamo actually is. The real screamo scene didn't change and is still active to this day all over the world."
