Line #15 Main/ScreamoMusic


1	'''Screamo''' is a HardcorePunk-influenced offshoot of EmoMusic which originated in the early-1990s San Diego hardcore scene with bands such as Heroin and Antioch Arrow, who took emo and incorporated [[DarkerAndEdgier far more aggressive and chaotic performances]] and HarshVocals. In the following years, bands like Saetia and Pg. 99 expanded the sound, while other groups such as Orchid and Jeromes Dream mixed it with {{Grindcore}} and powerviolence to create an even more extreme variant known as "emoviolence". The genre continued to thrive and develop in underground punk scenes around the world from that point onward, while never even coming close to the mainstream.

3	Be warned, though: this label is ''very'' controversial, with many bands either rejecting it or referring to it as "skramz". Remember, just because a band [[MetalScream screams]] in some of their songs does not automatically make them screamo. The term became frequently misused throughout the TurnOfTheMillennium to describe PostHardcore and {{Metalcore}} bands that use HarshVocals. However, these styles are vastly different from what the term originally referred to, and describing such bands as screamo is a major FandomEnragingMisconception among listeners of traditional screamo.

48	!! Tropes Common to Screamo Bands include:
49	* {{Grindcore}}: Has a close association with this genre and its less metallic sibling genre powerviolence, with some groups such as Orchid, Pg. 99 and especially Swarrrm demonstrating influences from the style.
50	* MetalScream: The genre is built on the use of type 3 "screech" vocals.
51	* PostHardcore: Generally associated with the more underground strains of the genre. This makes sense, as original Emocore was a PostHardcore subgenre, and Screamo was based upon building further on this aggression into more extreme musical territory.
52	* PostRock: For whatever reason, a lot of bands also fuse this with screamo. Music/CircleTakesTheSquare, Envy, Heaven in Her Arms, City of Caterpillar, and Suffocate for Fuck Sake provide some excellent examples.
53	* SensoryAbuse: Bands such as Orchid and Jeromes Dream aim for a chaotic and noisy sound with extremely dissonant chords, pounding drums, throat-shredding screams and extremely treble-heavy and raw production.
54	* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: ZigZagged. Groups like Pg. 99, Orchid and Lord Snow have very short song and album lengths with extremely raw and chaotic production, but incorporate unusual harmonies, dissonant chords and [[UncommonTime odd time signatures.]]
55	* TrueArtIsAngsty: The building block of several groups.
