sloppily played, raw, emotional hardcore.has a fast off beat sound, with whiny/talky screaming. its good though. it has a really dark mood to it.

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

A disgusting and shitty excuse for music. It sounds like a mixture of barking dogs and dying muppets. Most of the screamo songs are about general pointlessness and are almost impossible to understand what the singers are saying. Useful if your trying to give yourself a bad headache.
What is that, a pack of wild dogs? Oh, its just screamo.

Once upon a time Metal fucked Emo, and never called her back. The result was a hideous, disfigured, makeup-covered hermaphrodite named Screamo.
Screamo is the worst sound a group of semi-humanoids can possibly make.

Screamo is a Genre of music that stated in the end of the 80's and at the beggining of the 90s.
Screamo is a genre that is no longer played by a lot of bands who claim to be SCREAMO.
That would be Fake Screamo
Underoath used to be Metalcore and then changed to fake screamo or Screamocore(they would be that since it has changed).
Norma Jean used to be mathcore but now they are hardcore and a crappy one
Orchid, Saetia, Reversal of Man are SCREAMO BANDS.
Screamo started from hardcore punk and emo.
even thought emo movement is not about that gay stuff everybody says it is...
Try to learn something you wannabe kids that listen t finch alesana and those sucky bands... and if you cut your wrists that makes you a gay suicidal homokid not an emo kid...
p#1: I dont care if you cut your wrists, that doesn't make you emo, that makes you a wannabe suicidal gay kid
p#2: but my friend says we are emo's because we cut ourselvesand we listen to screamo music like alesana
p#1:then your friend is a wannabe suicidal gay kid just like you and alesana is gay the same as hawthorne heights
p#2:so i've been cutting my wrists for a long time and that doesn;t makes me emo?
p#1: obviously you lost to much blood, just forget about it ok retarded wannabe suicidal gay kid...
oh and a poser that shops at hottopic...
