I wouldn't call Converge screamo. They're more of grindcore/metalcore than anything else, they have a hint of emo sometimes though..

nope, you can whipe away the emo, but there are truly screamo bands I mentioned. Most of them are hardcore/metal bands, but they all have different styles in their music.

how are Thursday and Alexisonfire pop-rock? they don't have enough hooks or mainstream radio play to warrent that label. they are post-emo for sure, but pop-rock?

Spend less time in Hot Topic.

[QUOTE=shane italian]You lose[/QUOTE]

Have you god any idea what pop-rock is?

And psuedo-metal is not a genre, you just think that it is a kind of metal but you don't know how to define is.

A band like odd project, or atreyu is more Melodic Metalcore!

I know, it is useless to talk about genres like emo/screamo etc. especially with people who think they know everything

Everybody wants to put it in boxes. This band is this..., this band is this... blablabla. When I previously mentioned some bands, it was a way to show other people some bands, if they like genres related to the socalled genres they can listen to these bands.

No. Screamo was a genre before The Used and Thursday came around. Check out some of the bands listed under screamo. You will then find that none of the bands you listed have an ounce of screamo in them.

critisize me.

what do you think of. bright eyes and a static lullaby

^Dude, start from the first page of this thread and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the other guys are going to say.

[QUOTE=syntaxerror]critisize me.

Bright Eyes= Indie (they suck)
A Static Lullaby= Emocore/Metalcore or Pop-Punk/Metal

*Note: Just because I used emocore, doesn't mean they have any emo in them. I've just yet to come across a better name for Pop-Punk with screaming, so I still use the misnomer emocore.

oh god,, haha.. talk about specific labelling. it's okay, i just wanted to see what other people thought ;)

I listened to Hot Cross, City Of Catrepillar and Amanda Woodward for the first time. I think they're very good. It's a shame that emo/screamo bands generally don't get much support and better production would be nice.. But I guess that's the premise of emo bands.

I'm deciding on buying Burn Piano Island, Burn but I'm wondering if I'm better off waiting for Crimes to come out. What do you think?

Buy [I]This Adultery Is Ripe[/I].

I think Tangy Zizzle said that he loved [I]Crimes[/I]. But my friend said she didn't like it at all. So I say, get the best Blood Brothers album, [I]This Adultery Is Ripe[/I].

I've been thinking of buying it too but it's so hard to find it in my area.. I find it kinda hard to get into, it's a bit artsier than BPIB but it's growing on me. I dl'ed Rescue and Doctor! Doctor!, I'm liking them right now.

I lot of people prefer the catchy tunes of BPIB, but [I]This Adultery Is Ripe[/I] is really their best work I think.

So what is your guys opinion on screamo's connection to emo? Is it emotional screaming, or is it just....screaming?

Screamo is like really chaotic grind, but unlike grind bands like The Locust and Daughters, the lyrics and music usually have more meaning, art and emotion in them. Or a sometimes easier definition that is used is grind with breakdowns, because there are usually breakdowns to contribute to that sense of beauty, etc.

I didn't know The Great Redneck Hope's on purevol:eek: There's like dozens of great bands in Purevolume amid the stale pop punk facade.

why are most emo'ers such classification natzis. i can understand why you would not like some emo/screamo/hardcore/melodic hardcore bands because they arn't what you like, but its dumb to make fun of someone or even say you HATE someone you never met just because they have a different musical view than you do, even though they think enough of the music that you like to post it on a forum. And what the hell is wrong with people commenting on a band they strongly dislike, when they obviously don't own an album by them. I think before you cut down a band or a person you should actually know what your dealing with and not follow along in a crowd in which you feel emotionally safe cause your just sucking up to who you think is arbitrally in command (Dfelon) Anyways, to set the record straight, emo/screamo both share similar qualities. Both consist of emotionally charged lyrics or themes, somtimes with or without screaming, and have a loud soft guitar dynamic. That is emo no matter which way you slice it. So anything that fits into that catagory has to be emo, if you like the band or not, its still emocore.

I don't know about The Great Redneck Hope being screamo. The emphasis is on being chaotic and heavy, rather than having that emotion shine through. I hear virtually none of it.

That's true, but on "A Rhetorical Question: What Do Christian Kids Talk About? (Ex: "God Is Awesome" "Totally!")" there's like that soft piano part outro thing.

Yeah but that doesn't make them screamo.
