As the top definition says screamo is "a term that refers to recent bands that play old style emo". Most pinpoint the first use of the term to Saetia. Screamo however, existed long before Saetia did, with bands such as Heroin and Antioch Arrow pioneering the genre at the Ché Café in San Diego. Far were the first band with a screamo album, 1996's Tin Cans with Strings to You.
In the contemporary era, screamo is now used to describe bands within the post-hardcore and metalcore genres (e.g A Skylit Drive, new Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance). While some of these artists do not mind the term screamo, others reject it as they are only defined screamo just because of their use of screaming in songs.
In my own words, (anyone can disagree with me) the genre screamo should refer to bands who's vocals are primarily screaming (Alexisonfire do not count), a much heavier beat and rhythm than emo and artists who are confident to live under the label (even though we all know labels are pretty dumb) :P

DIY Screamo: I Hate Myself, Orchid, Piano Becomes the Teeth, Circle Takes the Square, Saetia, Neil Perry, Joshua Fit for Battle
Contemporary screamo: Alesana, A Skylit Drive, Atreyu, Underoath (2002-2009), Senses Fail (Dunno why they call themselves screamo), Dance Gavin Dance, Hawthorne Heights, Blessthefall, old Funeral for a Friend
NOT screamo in any way whatsoever: Saosin, pg. 99, Pierce the Veil, The Used, Alexisonfire, Funeral For a Friend (post-CDADIC), Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Silverstein, Finch Story of the Year, most metalcore, punk and deathcore bands

It's the showing of real pain in an angry screaming way. You can't say a band is screamo just because they scream a lot along the song. This kind of sing is always involved with the emo genre. Like: Melodic Metalcore, Metalcore, Emo-core, Post-Hardcore, Fashionxcore, Metal Punk, etc...
Don't get confused with the Metal bands that tend to scream a lot, is just because they're claiming satan. Emo-Screamo is NOT satanic, and emos don't even have religions because we do NOT believe in anything, if it were like that, we would not wish to die.

Screamo: The vocalist who screams is always singing with a slow vocal singer, one after another or both at the same time. They just try to show the pain for us to identify ourselves with the song themes involved.
Example: Underoath, Alesana, Atreyu, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Emarosa, Emery, Emmure, blessthefall, Static Lullaby, Chiodos, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Alexisonfire, A Day To Remember, Eyes Set To Kill, From First To Last, Mighty Moshin Emo Rangers, etc...

Screamo is a genre of music that comes from a Heavy Metal backround with Emo lyrics.
The word 'Screamo' is a type of vocal skill that is different to singing because you use your lungs and actauly 'Screaming' insted of singing.
Screamo is a new genre of music that has mainly been around sence 1990 onwards.
Screamo is a very hard type of vocals due to using your lungs and needing to breathe in and out at the same time, The problem is with Screamo is that it really damages your vocal chords and voicebox and can give you bad problems.
Some Screamo bands are different to others for example :
BrokenCyde has a hip-hop beat background but intense high pitch Screamo vocals
Bullet For My Valentine are a band with strong guitar riffs and a deep pitch Screamo with back up vocals, this band has normal singing vocals in aswell as Screamo vocals.
Bands such as Bring Me The Horizon (who happen to be my favorite band!) are Screamo all the way through with different pitchs of Screamo, They can be high pitch and low pitch.
The lyrics in these bands are mostly Emo and dark but bands such as BrokenCyde are Hip-hop happy Screamo and YouMeAtSix being an Indie type band with Minor Screamo vocals.
Oli Sykes the Lead Singer of Bring Me The Horizon.
Matt Tuck the Lead Singer of Bullet For My Valentine.
Oli Sykes has also been in a Hip-Hop rap group named 'Womb 2 Da Tomb' in his early days before becoming a Emo Screamo vocalist with his own fashon line titled 'Drop Dead Clothing'
To summerise 'Screamo' a genre of music with vocals in a screaming shouting style with a heavy guitar and drums.

Friend : Hay we can come back to mine and have a drink and listen to some Screamo music insted of hurting your throat screaming all the time.
Vocalist : Okay sounds good to me, i need to rest more and not talk for a while.

A TERM used to define ANY TYPE OF MUSIC with screaming in it. Screamo can be metalcore, metal, post-hardcore, even fucking brokeNCYDE (VERY shit band) could be considered 'screamo', because it has screaming in it. screamo is not an actual genre, it's a label to define music with screaming in it.
Ignorant dude: Dude, that band, alesana, is totaly screamo.
Normal guy: dude, they're totaly post hardcore, screamo means music with screaming in it.
Ignorant dude: so what is August Burns Red, then?
Normal guy: Metalcore.
Not Ignoant anymore guy: Ohhhh, it all makes sense now...
