A new term for the screamo/emo bands of the 90s, or anythign that is REAL screamo/emo. I'm not sure if the term is supposed to be taken seriously or not, but it's there. Possibly created in revolt of the shitty 'new' emo bands and self-proclaimed 'emo' kids.

Get the skramz mug.Basically a term for Screamo music in the style of 90's screamo (Saetia, Orchid, etc.). Created due to the negative connotation that Screamo had become associated with. Not a serious term, mostly used lightly.
Peron X: Hey have you heard that band Saetia?
Person Y: No, what music do they play
Person X : Screamo
Persony Y: Ahh, I dont listen to that scene kid shit
Person X: No, its nothing like that.
This is why the word Skramz was created

A reference used to differentiate between 80% of the band tees in Hot Topic, and actual screamo. An offshoot of hardcore punk. The term itself should be taken lightly, but it's helpful to make the distinction. Some elitist douche bags think it's immature and lame, but they just have their panties in a bunch.
DIY as fuck.
Also, the difference between "Enter Shikari" and "Shikari." The latter clearly being better as a band in every regard.

Skram is a corruption of the word screamo, first coined in 2004 by Alex Bigman, a.k.a. thebigmin, on the messageboard Cross My Heart With A Knife as a joke. Over time, people took it somewhat seriously, and has now come to be used as a less-commercially co-optable term for screamo, since that word has been bastardized into oblivion, used to describe any shitty whine-fest bands on MTV and the Warped Tour that incorporate maybe 30 seconds of screaming per song.
Typically, true skram records are pressed only on vinyl, with handmade covers, and in quantities of far less than 1,000.
Previous and less successful attempts to create a term that the mainstream media and major record companies would deem "too stupid" to steal and repackage included kittencore, and the more appropriate, kitten violence.
Superlatives:
-ultimate skram : literal meaning
-epic skram : skram that usually contains abrupt and extreme tempo and volume/distortion changes, nontraditional rock instrumentation (cellos, violins, trumpets, various other orchestral instruments), and other effects to heighten the "epic" feel of the song, these songs tend to be longer in length
-1337 skram : more obscure and elitist skram
-OOP skram : used for skram records that have gone out of print, but are still in demand, and hence, command a princely sum on eBay or board.vivalavinyl.org
Variations:
-skramo
-SKR##M)
-teh screamies
-skramz0rz (or further variations, ex: skramzei0rz0ers, the more ridiculous and over the top, the better)
-amo the little-mentioned counterpart to skramo, if screamo:emo::skramo:amo, get it?
