See, here's the deal. When Poison the Well, From Autumn to Ashes, Atreyu, A Static Lullaby, Alexisonfire, Silverstein, and all those kind of bands started getting popular a couple of years ago, the mainstream took notice and for some reason or another started calling it screamo, when in fact screamo is a completely different genre characterized by music that is a bit on the chaotic side but is just teeming with emotion. Check out "An Open Letter" by Saetia or "In The Nervous Light of Sunday" by Circle Takes the Square for a perfect example of what screamo really is.

Or, if you don't have a file sharing program, just download a couple of these songs: www.hxcmp3.com/circle_takes_the_square

what are they called then? nu-screamo, or perhaps pop-screamo? haha
