A musical style with the same emotional value in the lyrics as "emo" but has screaming involved in the music along with/instead of singing. Many "harcore" people like to dis screamo, saying that it is too weak, but every genre of music is different, which needs to be realized.

heavy music involving both singing and screaming, similar (if not the same as) post-hardcore, with emotional themes to the songs
often insulted by people who are;
a) too pussy for the screaming
b) too...ahem "hardcore" for the emo subject matter

a branch of emo which branched from punk. Screamo is emo with more black metal involved as the singer of the band tends to yell more. Also, the point of the songs usually go into deeper subjects than ex-partners, rather they'll talk about confusion or the mist that comes out of falling in love or simply from life in general.

Characterizes a new type of bad music to lestin to. In other words, if you like screamo, your like everyone else and you are not orginal. You have bad taste in music.
