ukulele screamo 

One of the most accurate ways of describing twenty one pilots' music, although they really don't have a genre. It is a mix of screaming/screamo and ukulele playing.

If you would like an example, listen to the albums Vessel and Blurryface or any acoustic version on YouTube. They will bless your ears.

Ukulele Screamo 

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.

A subgenre of emotive hardcore and indie rock that formed in the 90's. Screamo isn't mainstream and you will not hear any screamo bands played on the TV or radio.

Some real screamo bands are Orchid, Pg.99, Circle Takes The Sqaure, City of a Caterpillar, Piano Come The Teeth, Saetia, Anomie, Portraits of Past, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, Indian Summer and The Saddest Landscape.

Screamo is often a term used for bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, Pierce The Veil, Escape The Fate, Falling In Reverse, Sleeping With Sirens or any other band that has used the technique in their songs. Anybody who says these bands are screamo is wrong, they are post-hardcore or metalcore.

They're part of the metal mainstream.

Screamo fan 2: Yeah, they're amazing. Such meaningful lyrics.

Generally the term Screamo refers to a branch of hardcore popularised in the 1990's by bands such as City of Caterpillar, Envy, Orchid, Saetia et al. Often features dischordant riffs, high-pitched screams, some spoken-word vocals (Saetia were known to utilize this technique quite often), and quite often the recordings were very lo-fi, and grainy.

However the term has been heavily popularised by MTV as a reference to the pop-punk/emo bands of the new century (Finch, Story of the Year etc).
Saetia, Angel Hair, After School Knife Fight, Joshua Fit for Battle, City of Caterpillar, Neil Perry...most of the bands on Level Plane Records.
