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

Get the Screamomug. A genre only known to fans of Twenty Øne Piløts and the lead singer, Tyjo Joseph, and his fren Jish Dun-shine. If you wish to preform this mystical genre all you need is an in- tune ukulele and the vocal chords of a gracefully dying cat. Your welcome.
“How does he do that?” Sarah says, a non-intellectual she is.
“it’s called Ukulele Screamo, Sarah, can you spell it,” Jaiden says.
“Get out of here with your riverdale references!” Shouts a uncultered bafoon from the distance.

Get the Ukulele Screamomug. Term often used to describe mainstream pop punk that incorporates elements of screaming. However, this is incorrect. Nu-screamo classifies the bands listed in the examples section.
Screamo developed in the 80s from hardcore punk. It is also refered to as emotional hardcore, which can also be used to describe early emo bands such as Still Life, Grey Matter, Rites of Spring, etc. Some bands that are true screamo are: Joshua Fit for Battle, Saetia, City of Caterpillar, Reversal of Man, Neil Perry, Ampere, Capsule, Trifle Tower, Someplace to Hide, Hot Cross, Transistor Transistor, Waifle, Yaphet Kotto, Eaves, Trainwreck, Envy, etc...

Get the screamo heromug. Sometimes also called "Sweetcore". Pop Screamo refers to a non-existent style of music that became popular in the early-mid 2000's with band like Thursday, Saosin, Chiodos and Senses Fail. It's known to combine emo-pop hooks with mid-high range screaming and aggressive, sometimes metal-inspired riffs. This definition is wrong, however, and most bands associated with it are post-hardcore.

Get the Pop Screamomug. a genre of music. like emo. but rather than acoustic i-want-to-kill-myself style, its more scream-and-smash-everything-up style. a decent scremo/screamo style will have a talented vocalist and original melody. also the song will not just be full on screaming. it will be done tastefully.

Get the scremo/screamomug. Emo music attempting to be "hard". It usually involves a band that tries to sing about their feelings, but usually, because they aren't very talented at singing, they attempt to scream their feelings. Lyrics to the words are unintelligable, and singing along usually causes one to lose their voice.
Band members of emo screamo are typically seen wearing skin tight girl pants, cut off t-shirts, make-up (in a feminine way) and almost always have their bangs swooped in a diaganonal pattern across their face in either direction. I believe they are attempt to distract the concert-goers from actually listening to them.

You know, if the vocals of that emo screamo band didn't suck so much, they might actually be listenable. It's a shame because those guitars aren't too shabby.
