Pop Screamo

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.

scremo/screamo

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.

emo screamo

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.

big band screamo

a band that has drums, bass, lead and rhythm guitars, piano or synth and any other musical accompaniment as well as having at least two singers... one of which screams alot. also matching emo outfits can occur.

really any group with two or more singers and some screaming is a good example of big band screamo

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.
