A term originally used to refer to a subgenre of emotional hardcore, now used to describe any form of metal or hardcore that employs great use of screamed vocals. The term Screamo is commonly used in one of the following ways:
-By a fan of extreme metal and/or hardcore who knows what he/she is talking about, but would prefer to categorize several forms of music under one term.
-By an ignorant fan of extreme metal and/or hardcore (most often by fans of hardcore subgenres, usually metalcore).
-By an ignorant preppy douchebag/bitch, who uses the term Screamo when insulting music that is far more talented than the auto-tuned hood-rat garbage he/she listens to.

1. "Hey man, do you listen to any screamo? You know, like metalcore, melodic death metal, so on and so on..." - Guy who knows what he is talking about.
2. "Alesana is the best screamo band ever, their vocalist is so hot <3" - 13 year old girl who hasn't fully developed mentally.
3. "Screamo sucks. It's just screaming and some drum sounds. There's no talent in that. You should listen to real music like Lil Wayne" - Dumbass.
4. "All you listen to now is that satanic screamo stuff. We used to listen to Lynard Skynard together" - Your dad

A great genre of music that fuses metalcore with death metal. Though it is a great form of self-empowering music, deathcore fans are often falsely accused of being "scene fags" by haters who don't know what they are talking about.
Deathcore fan: "Man I miss Mitch Lucker. Suicide Silence is one of the best deathcore bands and now their vocalist is dead"
Douchebag: "You're a scene fag. Why would you listen to this?!"
Deathcore fan: "Actually I just have a different musical taste. Why would you waste your time judging and posting negative comments on YouTube?"
Douchebag: "I need to get a life..."
