it's funny. when i first heard of this genre, the stuff i was "told" was screamo was bands such as page ninetynine, neil perry, song of zarathustra, orchid, the book of dead names, racebannon, etc and even to some extent bands like an albatross and the like. not one of the bands i hear now under the heading "screamo" sound like these bands. sadly.

but it's a shit word.

but this is also funny.

i almost logged into my old account so i could vote crap twice.

So can anyone actually define this genre? I'm sure it's crap, but how does one distinguish it from emo? The pussies relentlessly flogging that sad bag of cliches seem to be screaming all of the time (when they're not whispering) - is there just no whispering?

And I believe the proper taxonomy for emo band names is the Four Word Band Name. Bonus points for starting with a prepositon. These are endless fun to generate:

From Wishes to Clover
For the Last Time
Like a Heart Bleeds
Over the Home Stretch

If you tour the Midwest, you will play with one or more of these bands at every show and you be floored by a) how all of them can construct an entire set out of three interchangeable chorus/verse pieces and b) how all of them seem to be having sex with girls who are hotter than the center of the sun. You will content yourself by rationalizing that a) you are the one on tour, not them and b) they're probably just going over to the girl's parents house, crying while watching My So-Called Life on DVD and then writing about it on LiveJournal. Keep hope alive.

This sounds like the name of a daring clown. Or a new size category on a Taco Bell Menu.

If you tour the Midwest? Imagine when you have to experience this all the time.

I hear you, but just wait a couple of years until the Midwest "catches up" to the coasts and every band you play with is a terrible electro-something laptop band. It will make you fucking yearn for poorly played guitars. Be careful what you wish for.
