What do you think of Screamo?

I really don't like the genre. Whenever I hear it, I quickly avoid it haha! I tend to keep a certain distance away when I hear some screamo somewhere near me.

Not reading other posts:
Like some sub-genre of metal or something, right? I've heard some before, I think; maybe. I don't like it. I don't care for it. I like my music to sound like music.

Imagining it, ...No. Doesn't sound good.

First thing to my head
oh, what do I think of Screamo in music sense, I see ...

Hm, if I want to get into this genre, what would you recommend I should listen to first?

Im not too crazy about it, but I listen to it sometimes

I've never really liked screamo/emo music.

I didn't know Screamo was considered music.
I always thought of it as a bunch of shitty noise.
Like Country, Disney, or Church music.

Senses Fail [their stuff before Still Searching]
You should then be able to find some others branched from them.

I think Screamo can sound really good if used tastefully. With some bands I find it can get annoying and obnoxious. If the melody or the bgm works with the screaming it can sound amazing but other times it can fall flat.

For example Bite to Break Skin (original) by Sense Fail, the screamo part of this song sounds amazing, the combination of the bg and the vocals really gets me going. I also really like screamo songs that bridge into really well sung choruses like some songs by Devil Wears Prada. Its funny cause I find screamo bands have potential to sing normally and sound amazing.

Examples:
Louder than Thunder by Devil Wears Prada
The Coldest Rain by Diecast
City in Colour (Alexisonfire's lead singer solo)
All amazing, all not screaming.

Generally avoid screamo if possible. Only screamo song that I like would be Losing you by Dead by April. Well, if you can consider that screamo. Lyrics are meaningful to me so, yea.

Used to like it when I was younger. But now, I find it kinda irritating.

I like it better when I clearly understand the lyrics.

I love Screamo. Orchid, La Quiete, Nitro Mega Prayer, Gauge Means Nothing, Envy, Gantz, Circle Takes The Square, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You.

Screamo has a terrible reputation but it has so many truly epic bands.

Screamo is amaing to be! Better than the horrible rap nowadays that only talk about sex and money. I love every type of music don't get me wrong just I think my top 2 would be techno and screamo.
Bands I listen to

~Dead By April

~Brokencyde

~Blessthefall

~Alesana

~A skylit drive

~Flyleaf

~....and others I can't think of at this moment lol (I listen to the bands off my friend's ipods)

I'm going to guess Brokencyde is an "acquired" taste. I can see why they are more-or-less the laughing stock of the musical neighborhood.

Granted I'm not particularly a fan of Screamo anymore, but I was a fairly big fan of Circle Takes the Square some years ago, but at least Circle Takes the Square was melodic, Brokencyde can hardly claim that. They really do, at least in the minds of many, embody so much of what is wrong in the music industry. Pop-punk trash lyrics with no melodic tone or meaning mixed with vocals that are meant to be aggressive and having deeper meaning, but with them in just comes off as "OMG I'M SCREAMING!!!!1+SHIFT"

when I'm really pissed I love it cus well i am a major asshole when Im pissed so it works. but other than that i listen to metal not screamo. but its ok by my rocker status.

Always looked down on it! Until I realized The Used are Screamos, too..
