Screamo is a specific subgenre of music that spawned in the 1990s, Real screamo is actually pretty badass from what I've heard, but that's not what my point here is. The definition of screamo is not "a band that has screaming in their songs" or metal in general. Many people, when they hear that someone likes metal, makes fun of the person and says the person loves screamo. They have to keep pushing that screamo is the worst thing since stepping on Legos. That person is in fact wrong. Post-hardcore, metalcore, thrash metal, death metal, and hundreds more of subgenres have screaming. If you're gonna insult someone, at least try to do your homework before you embarrass yourself.
Asshole: HAHA! THAT EMO FAG LIKES SCREAMO! GAY! AHA!
Metalhead: I don't like screamo, you moron. I'm only really into thrash metal.
Asshole: Uhh.. Well.. You're gay!
Metalhead: *facepalm*

The worst genre of music ever created. It takes absolutely no talent to be a singer for a Screamo band. All you have to do if you want to be a Screamo singer is bend over, pull down your pants, have one of your friends hold a microphone to your mouth, and another one violently shove a pineapple inside your rectum, and bam, you're a screamo singer, and then you can have a bunch of moronic retards in all-black and tight girl pants and eyeliner follow you around like you're Jesus.
I'm a fag, I like Screamo
My daddy beat me, so I like Screamo
I sing for a Screamo band, I have no talent.
My daddy beat me, so I like Screamo
I sing for a Screamo band, I have no talent.

A term mostly used by teens to describe a fusion of Emocore and Hardcore to create a new sub-genre. A recent example would be the band Bring Me The Horizon.
Excerpt from a screamo song by Bring Me The Horizon
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing,
I'm asking you for just one thing,
Eradicate this disease,
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our dooms day,
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth and bring dooms day,
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick,
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers flow with blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound
of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers turn to blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing,
I'm asking you for just one thing,
Eradicate this disease,
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our dooms day,
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth and bring dooms day,
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick,
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers flow with blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound
of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers turn to blood,
death will stand where life once stood,

A genre of music crossing between emo music and a more hard-core metal, with the emotion and lyrics of emo music, with the heavyness and screaming vocals of hardcore.
Think the bands Silverstein (When Broken Is Easily Fixed), It Dies Today (The Catiff Choir), From First To Last (Aesthetic), From Autumn To Ashes ( Holding A Wolf By The Ears), THESE are Screamo, NOT My Chemical Romance, NOT Finch, NOT all old music from the 90'S!!!

A word people mistake for being post-hardcore/metalcore music. Bands like: Bring Me The Horizon, The Amity Affliction, Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, Chelsea Grin, Pierce The Veil, Parkway Drive or even Black Veil Brides (are people fucking crazy) etc are usually called "screamo" either by Emo/Scene fags or people who have never heard a vocalist who screams.
Scene/emo fag: Oh my god I love Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria they're so screamo RAWR screamo music 4 lyf :3 :3 ^_^
Awesome people like me: You're fucking retarded and so is your music taste, leave.
Scene/emo fag: I love screamo music like, The Amity Affliction, Parkway Drive and Northlane
Awesome people like me: No no no no and NO, go back to listening to your shitty Black Veil Brides/Blood On The Dancefloor shit.

Deep whale sounds coming from your voice box. This typical music is most often sung by devil worshippers you often see on the investigation discovery channel.
