Okay, I understand many bands with the same type of music and vocals as Circle Takes the Square and Pg. 99 are labeled screamo. They are fairly chaotic with angry-sounding screaming vocals and thrash-around type music that occasionally has a weird touch to it throughout the songs.

But I have come across something....

Bands such as Emery and a few others have been labeled on Windows Media Guide as post-hardcore as well as "screamo." The Windows Media Guide says Emery has "emotional and melodic sensitivity contrasting with the screaming vocals one associates with hardcore and metalcore." If this is true, could we also label bands such as Thursday, Senses Fail, and Matchbook Romance under the screamo category, due to their occasional back-up vocal screaming? Or are they just referring to lead vocals here?
