post screamo

Post Screamo: an unofficial definition for bands which draw influence on both Screamo and modern melodic Post Hardcore. A good example of a Post Screamo band would be Alexisonfire or early material from Fear Before The March Of Flames. These bands are clearly neither Screamo or Post Hardcore but are a mixture between the two.
The debut full length from Alexisonfire clearly combines common elements found in Screamo (chaotic starts and stops, vocal driven songs) as well as elements from Post Hardcore (harmonized guitars, melodic sung vocals) therefore this must be Post Screamo.

Screamo(s)

The stereotypical classification of one or multiple individuals that have characteristics of the hardcore sub-culture. Such as listening to Hardcore (Screamo) music , attending concerts, and dressing in a particular fashion. Such as wearing skinny jeans, v-necks, band tee's, cut off shorts (jorts), Vans, Toms, etc. Although there are many false pretenses about this classification, they are almost entirely all false. This sub-culture will be the driving force behind our generation to the next, with the largest amount of free thinkers, open mindedness, and general compassion. Hardcore (Screamo) music is actually commonly listened to by all different sub-cultures.
"That guy is listening to A Day To Remember, he's obviously a Screamo."

"Cut off shorts? You're a Screamo!"

"Look at those Screamos throw down!"

"Toms and Vans are for screamo(s)."

Tiger Beat Screamo

A brand of music popularized by MTV, Clear Channel Communications, and teen magazines such as Tiger Beat. It is more commonly referred to as "emo," a misnomer in actuality.

The genre's sound often contrasts nasally, melodic vocals with high-pitched screaming, with traditional pop rock chord progressions and structure for the instrumental portion. It's Good Charlotte meets Hatebreed, sometimes with a little Queen thrown in when they're feeling kinky. Lyrical subject matter is confined to teenage romance, vampire romance, and teenage vampire romance.

Arguably, the most unifying factor among Tiger Beat Screamo bands is fashion sense, which incorporates various different trends originating in suburban super-store Hot Topic. KISS facepaint and the color black are consistent staples. Fashion sense is the easiest way to distinguish Tiger Beat Screamo from MTVemo.

Bands of this genre include My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, and exactly 73% of the Victory Records catalog.
"Please don't play any Tiger Beat Screamo, you're 24 years old."
