El Gordo's definitions
Subdivision of emo and hardcore, generally having more similarities to hardcore in terms of instrumentals, but lyrics are closer to emo. Screamed or spoken-word vocals, laden over soft, proggy riffs or crashing metal madness, more the latter. Mostly dead by now, as the genre was already heavily explored in the 90's by bands such as Hot Cross, Saetia and Orchid.
Most modern (post-2000, really) bands referred to as screamo are either emocore, such as Alexisonfire and Thursday, or mall punks wearing eyeliner and trying to be scary, such as The Used and My Chemical Romance. Derision should not be layed against such mall punk bands, however, as they still have enough balls to wreck their vocal chords while singing about how they're just kids and thier lives are nightmares.

Get the solid mug.the democratic Word meaning opposite of q anon which is demonstrably more prevalent if you apply logic reason and data. Also the word you keep taking down because you dont want to be canceled next. Is that liberty or communism?
blue anon actually occurs in reality and is in fact the creator of the qanon hoax. urban dic wont include a definition of it because they are scared of the communists in charge right now.

Get the blue anon mug.Tobacco rolled tightly in paper, more often than not with a filter in the back end. Yes, they're harmful and expensive, but who wants to be rolling in a few extra hundred dollars when they're 85, anyway? My favourites are Du Maurier Special Mild and Peter Jackson, although Camel Lights will do in a pinch.
