A mixture of Emo(simple plan, sugar cult, fallout boy) and hardcore or possibly Nu Metal(Minor threat, Lamb of God, Korn). some well known bands of this Genre are Killswitch Engage and Bleeding Through. Its basicaly a mix of the crybaby lyrics of emo, and the harsh yelling of hardcore.
examples of emo metal would be Killswitch Engage: Rose of sharyn

Nu metal is a failed attempt to restart the heavy metal movement which ended in the early 90's. Contrary to popular belief, however, it is not a genre liked soly buy rich suburbian kids trying to piss off their parents and find problems in their life. It is also followed by "classic" metal heads seeking something new to get into. "old" or "classic" metal ended in the 90's when MTV decided metal wasnt cool anymore; and kids being impresionable little freaks started to follow grunge, then alternative, and now punk. Still, metal heads linger banging their heads in the underground and watching concerts theyve seen a million time, which is why Nu Metal came about.
metal head: this is the 1,457,234,002 time i've listened to master of puppets, its time to try something new.
emo kid that nows nothing about metal: try Lamb of God, there like, heavy metal cuz they scream.
metal head: I guess i have no choice
