General Music Discussion

[Azrael]

Most actual screamo and emo bands that I know completely suck in my opinion, but I'm not entirely against all bands with 'screaming' aspects to them, or whatever you'd call it.

You don't like emo?

[Phoenixfox]

Then why does everyone call bands like asking alexandria and alesana screamo

Because they don't know the genre's origins, since it's underground. Here are a couple examples of actual screamo.

Meh. Kind of boring, not really my thing. It's just not very interesting music.

Im pretty sure if a song has all screaming then it is a screamo song. I might be wrong because i'm not into those scene bands.

NO.

Screaming + emo = Screamo

If it doesn't have the emo, it is NOT screamo!!

Yes sir, whatever you say, sir

[Azrael]

NO.

YOU DARE DISMISS ME, HEATHEN?!?

Did you hear past the first minute of each? The whole point of screamo is dynamics.

Hmm, I didn't mind the first 2. Last one wasn't my thing though.

I don't know what really constitutes 'emo' and 'screamo', but I've had bad experiences with what I think 'might' be those genres:

Screamo or Emo{?} (Or just shit):
Attack Attack!
Underoath
Breathe Carolina
Family Force Five. This song honestly does always give me a laugh....so I guess something good came out of it.
Dashboard Confessional
Yellowcard
Madina Lake

I personally think these are all shit that I just posted, but yeah, that's me.

Now I need to cleanse myself....

Yeah uh, those are all far from emo and screamo.
Except Dashboard Confessional, but they're a bit of a stretch and I never had a fondness for them anyway.

*Sigh*, so it looks like you have fallen victim to the lies of mainstream opinion as well.

Huff.

Those are NOT screamo or emo. You're saying the same things as the phoenixfox guy.

Of all the genre ignorance, the one that surrounds emo and screamo annoys me the most.

I think I may of fallen into the lies of myself actually, because I think that's what I associated them with. I didn't really think the Family Force Five song was screamo or emo, just....I dunno. The Attack Attack! one is like techno metal crap? I dunno. People refer to it as 'crabcore', which works for me:P

Same. especially for me, being in high school surrounded by a bunch of scene kids who think they like screamo and emo with their Attack Attack shirts and crap. Makes we want to facepalm so hard.

A lot of people don't know any emo or screamo artists. Even the scene kids commonly associated with emo have absolutely no idea who the fuck Rites of Spring or Cap'n Jazz are.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA. The Metalcore scene here is massive. It's mostly better bands than Attack! Attack! that are popular, but the principle is the same. I shamefully hang out with some of these guys. I was hanging out with a dude with gauges, noserings, and a Bring Me The Horizon shirt today. I constantly torment them on their ignorance, though, so it's ok.

[The REAL Glasers]

Emo was born out of Hardcore Punk. Examples of Emo are Moss Icon, Rites of Spring, Native Nod, etc.

Screamo was born out of Post-Hardcore, examples include Funeral Diner, Saetia, Envy, etc. Screamo can be dynamic or can be incredibly fast and chaotic.

[Daihan]

A friend recently introduced me to dubstep and I'm pretty into that right now....I am also fond of heavy metal and politically charged hip hop.

[Oterro]

Holy shit 10/10 everyone's mad.

Yes sir, whatever you say, sir

Every screamo song has screaming, however not every screaming song is screamo.


Now, stop being so ignorant and deal with the fact that bands like Daughtry and Nickelback are absolute shit compared to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Mineral.


Good day.

I had the rare occasion to find a song I actually like on the radio. That doesn't happen all that often. It was a song that my dad showed me a while back, that I couldn't figure out if I entirely liked it or not. I figured it was just one of those artists that took a few listens to get used to, and it seemed to be the case. The guy seems to have a fairly big variety though. It was just the sudden clash of music in the song kinda cut me off guard, in a good way. Just what was thrown into the song on the radio wasn't what I expected to be added to a song with that kind of singing.

Anyway, here's a few songs by Alex Clare:
Too Close.
Treading Water
Whispering

There's also another good artist, Timba Harris (He's a part of a bunch of bands, or was), but his musics barely on YouTube and not on Spotify....

[The BranRiech]

For some unkown reason, I have gotten into ragtime recently and now I can't stop listening to it.

Party like it's 1899

indubitably my good sir.

Gotye has some pretty good stuff and I'm kind of surprised that he's broken into the mainstream. Hopefully it opens the gate for artists like St. Vincent.

Same! I heard Like Drawing Blood on Pandora or something after it first came out, which I think was before Gotye got big, and remember thinking it was fairly good. I actually really like Making Mirrors too, one of the few pop albums I've actually spent money on.

All i've heard is that one song and it reminds me of the police.

It's not bad.
