Screamo is a music related term which originated in the 80's or 90's. It is generally classified by rough "screaming" vocals. Although it is generally listened to by teenagers and people in their young 20's this type of music can be listened to by people of any age or background. Many bands who are not technically screamo (Take Sleeping With Sirens for example) are often confused or labeled as screamo due to the occasional scream, even though it is not their main type of music. Screamo itself is normally not a genre of its own but will be characterized in many genres such as hardcore or punk rock.
Hey James what kind of music do you like?
I like bands which have a bit of screamo in them like The Devil Wears Prada

The worst genre of music ever created. It takes absolutely no talent to be a singer for a Screamo band. All you have to do if you want to be a Screamo singer is bend over, pull down your pants, have one of your friends hold a microphone to your mouth, and another one violently shove a pineapple inside your rectum, and bam, you're a screamo singer, and then you can have a bunch of moronic retards in all-black and tight girl pants and eyeliner follow you around like you're Jesus.
I'm a fag, I like Screamo
My daddy beat me, so I like Screamo
I sing for a Screamo band, I have no talent.

A term mostly used by teens to describe a fusion of Emocore and Hardcore to create a new sub-genre. A recent example would be the band Bring Me The Horizon.
Excerpt from a screamo song by Bring Me The Horizon
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing,
I'm asking you for just one thing,
Eradicate this disease,
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our dooms day,
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth and bring dooms day,
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick,
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers flow with blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound
of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers turn to blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
Christ, I'm asking you for just one thing,
I'm asking you for just one thing,
Eradicate this disease,
Close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Oh Lord, cleanse this Earth and bring upon our dooms day,
Oh, close your eyes, pray for plagues,
Cleanse this Earth and bring dooms day,
She starts her new diet of liquor and dick,
Just like Hollywood, but laced in sick,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
The sun goes down, and so does she,
So clap your hands to the sound of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers flow with blood,
death will stand where life once stood,
So clap your hands to the sound
of every first born dying now,
Watch the rivers turn to blood,
death will stand where life once stood,

A genre of music crossing between emo music and a more hard-core metal, with the emotion and lyrics of emo music, with the heavyness and screaming vocals of hardcore.
Think the bands Silverstein (When Broken Is Easily Fixed), It Dies Today (The Catiff Choir), From First To Last (Aesthetic), From Autumn To Ashes ( Holding A Wolf By The Ears), THESE are Screamo, NOT My Chemical Romance, NOT Finch, NOT all old music from the 90'S!!!

A word people mistake for being post-hardcore/metalcore music. Bands like: Bring Me The Horizon, The Amity Affliction, Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, Chelsea Grin, Pierce The Veil, Parkway Drive or even Black Veil Brides (are people fucking crazy) etc are usually called "screamo" either by Emo/Scene fags or people who have never heard a vocalist who screams.
Scene/emo fag: Oh my god I love Black Veil Brides and Asking Alexandria they're so screamo RAWR screamo music 4 lyf :3 :3 ^_^
Awesome people like me: You're fucking retarded and so is your music taste, leave.
Scene/emo fag: I love screamo music like, The Amity Affliction, Parkway Drive and Northlane
Awesome people like me: No no no no and NO, go back to listening to your shitty Black Veil Brides/Blood On The Dancefloor shit.

Deep whale sounds coming from your voice box. This typical music is most often sung by devil worshippers you often see on the investigation discovery channel.
