Metal is not "Screamo"

It goes both ways. I'm mainly into deathcore, but I like all genres, and I can't tell you how many people say that rap is hip hop, or that maybe house music is techno or something. Though similar, and I can understand the mistake, I really feel the urge to correct them...just know that most people that make the mistake of incorrectly categorizing some music, aren't as knowledgable on it. It's like a child making a spelling mistake; they don't know any better.
Possibly, but people who are offended when someone says something is a genre which they disagree with deserve it.amoamaremetallum said:
No shit. Screamo has those high pitched fags singing that sound like they have their nuts tied up. I say, "I listen to metal, not Bullet for Cry by Myself."Gado911 said:
So I am being unreasonable by being upset by people's intolerance? I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with that statement. As many people have said, people mistake other genres as well, and I can't tell rap from hip hop. But I'll never know if people don't actually tell me. I accept they don't have to go "WARHRGRHAGRHRGAHRGAHGRHAG THATS NOT IT YOU STUPID IDIOT GET IT RIGHT YOUR A DISGRACE TOHUMANITY WHARGHRGAHRGAHRGAHRAH" but then again, that's not what we're doing here either...smithy_2045 said:
Screamo, eh? Well, if that offends, why not try using a different term? See if it catches on...
Cookie monster?
Imagine this; double kicker, pumpin' riff, cookie monster...
'C' IS FOR COOKIE! THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR MEEEE! COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE SARTS WITH 'C'EEEEEE!
I feel that this works pretty good, and comes across way more family friendly, your thoughts?

Trolls exist IRL too, y'know.
But if they are being sincere in their misunderstanding, it may be because metal often involves quite a lot of screaming. Or growling, I'm not really familiar with the specific nomenclature; I'm a singer, which to me involves making sound, rather than noise.
It's even more confusing when you consider that screamo does not actually involve screaming, but rather castrated wailings, like an infant being deprived of cocoa pops in a supermarket.
Ah, the ever-expanding labyrinth of musical terminology.

Bullet For My Valentine (I assume that's what you're referring to) is metal whether you like it or not.RUINER ACTUAL said:
When I say metalhead, I mean those types who overreact to every minor difference in genre, similar to your example. They deserve everything they get. I agree that a polite correction is fine, it's just extremely rare among those who tend to listen to metal.amoamaremetallum said:

So wait, metal only includes the metal bands you like? Because it's inconsistent to say that metal includes the classics (Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament) AND your personal death metal while not including what other people like that's called metal. Until you get some objective criteria, I'm calling bullshit.SovietX said:
Sorry, you pissed off a Parkway Drive fan.
And yet, I'm 20, have no girlfriend issues, like my parents and still enjoy listening to them. As do many of my friends.RUINER ACTUAL said:
People like you are why it's fun to troll metalheads.
Who the hell would confuse the two genres?
I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, one of the first metal bands in the genre. Anyone that would confused their music as Screamo has got a another thing coming as I wait for them with a 2 by 4 covered with rusty nails around the corner...>=O

I've not heard much of their earlier stuff. Maybe they were punk at one point.philzibit said:
However, I doubt that the little teeny bopper wearing a "punk princess" t-shirt calling them their "favoritee punx bannd!!!" has ever heard their earlier, more punkish, stuff either. Those are the sort of people I was referring to.
the man has a point. And you can never really label music. They all get cast into a genre that may or may not even fully describe them. Deftones, for example, are an example of this. They have some songs that they scream in, but not in an angsty guitar wailing way it gets portrayed. and they have their fair share of slower, dirty rock sounds they've become (somewhat) famous for. You can't label things, just learn to associate certain bands with other when you suggest them, but don't go "ooh, is that some screamo band?" because then I'd have to punch you in the face, and I don't want to have to do that, you seem like a nice kid.thegamermn said:
