Poll: Screamo and You!

[Rarhnor]

Screamo takes everything I love about metal and turns it into the most uninteresting music to me.

Screamo has its origins in emo and hardcore-punk i believe. No direct relation to metal.

OT: I like post-hardcore in general. It is spices the rock genre a bit. I like screamo IF it is used conservatively IE. Lorene Drive. Bands like The Locust and The Blood Brother... not so much.

I like hard rock but I can't stand screaming lyrics. It kills a song for me.

Nope. I don't listen to music that often, and never to this genre.

 

[stefani_saturn]

yeah in most cases i believe screaming is like salt, its great to garnish a meal with, but you don't want the meal to consist solely of salt. there are a few exceptions though of course

I will admit that I listen to and enjoy Bring me the Horizon now and then, but I also have to admit that they're getting worse. the only post hardcore band I like is Alexisonfire, everything else just sounds terrible to me.

As for metal I prefer melodic metal, like Black Dahlia Murder's Deflorate album (although I like most of their stuff), or In Flames.

I like a bit of everything though, from the aforementioned bands to stuff like Pendulum and Deadmau5. And also Avenged sevenfold, they are probably my favourite overall band right now.

I don't really like most hard rock in the first place.

 

[Nazz3]

I still listen to Trivium sometimes. But they're a trash / metalcore band though, with one full trash metal album.

 

[Bloody Sun Boy]

I love screamo music, if anyone wants to hear a good screamo band with a woman lead singer check out 'Rolo Tomassi'.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Little bit. I do like me some Silverstein.

The hell's Screamo?
Am I out of touch or or they not that well known outside the fanbase?

 

[Kelthurin]

I'll never understand how people can like music that consists of nothing but screaming. You can't hear the lyrics, and afterwards it's as if you've been listening to screaming children for 5 minutes.
I love metal, but this... this falls under the heading "Abominable" in my book.
Take your snake oil elsewhere.
