screamo is emo with screaming...


anyway, emo kids sicken me, sorry Master of Puppets if i accidently labled you sch, but emo kids are basically deadbeats, who have no will to do anything in life, just sit down and whine thier bleading hearts out. One thing to all you Emo kids, blood is RED not BLACK so stop sayin you bleed black and all that crap.

that said, its nice to see things coming out taking the piss out of emo ( http://www.emorangers.com anyone?)

seriously, if a kid was really depressed they wouldnt aim at making it a lifestyle, thats just messed up. I dont know why, but some of the modern emo kids just try to be depressed so they can seem cool, ive seen it all, and its really pathetic.


ANYWAYS if we are going to talk true emo (orriginated in the 80's, we are in the 3rd wave of emo now) then the orriginal emo was actually kinda cool, it was a reference for artists who really got into the performance of thier music, and it was very emotionally charged, not about depressing things so to speak, but mainly politics, life and other such things.


and just to help those who want to see some sort of progression from emo>metal via how hard they get heres how it goes>>>

Emo (kinda pop punk sound, think simple plan, or dashboard confessional)
Screamo (pop punk where the lead singer likes to scream as well as sing)
Hardcore (more screaming, less emo topics, most of these bands are more political leftists)
Metalcore (basically the same as hardcore, usually less screaming vocals, heavier riffs, and bigger sounds overall)
Nu-Metal (kinda slightly out of line, but its where it fits in the scheme of things, basically a tame form of metal, lack of good musicianship, and more about the 3:30 minute single than the music)
Metal (yeah we all know this godly stuff, 10 minute compositions, screaming solos, double kicks on those drums beating at 10000bpm's, mix of vocals from the very deep growls to the high pitch falsetto found in tight jeans)

i could go to list the various progressions in metal, but i tihnk it would require more of a tree diagram, following the history of metal through to modern day, covering all its variants
