I don't "get" screamo
Bands like Alexisonfire.

They sound OK in their songs until that guy comes in with all his inaudible screams. I don't really see the point of a song that is just a bunch of yelling and screaming.

Like don't flame me here, but if you like screamo and stuff, what is it about it that makes you like it?

It's funny, Asphyxy, because I just ran into a couple of the "goth" kids I knew from High School, and they've now gone "emo."

*shrug* I like it mostly, but there's a few bands where the vocals can get a little irritating. You kind of get over it eventually...

I feel the same way with many metal bands who are mad talented, but their vocals make me laugh.

I don't mind screaming, I just can't stand death-metal growls, like Cannibal Corpse and whatnot.

I like the screaming in like.. Avenged Sevenfold, and Slipknot/Stone Sour.

I enjoy a huge handful of bands that scream, growl, yell, etc etc, inintelligible shit most the time. I enjoy the sound of it. Regardless of the purpose the style of vocals has in the song, I like the way it sounds. I listen to Cradle Of Filth, probably most renound for it's vocals and how most people find it intolerable. I think Dani Filth is awesome.. but that's just my opinion, my taste in music.

But if you're looking for a point in "screamo," I think in all cases it's used to express that level of emotion. Not all musicians feel clean vocals and controlled vocal styles are best for what is trying to be conveyed in their music.

I don't like a whole lot of screamo, and it's because of the voices. Bands like alexisonfire, static lullaby, etc, they all seem like they're forcing the screams to be part of the new wave of music

With a band like glassjaw, or poison the well, i dunno, the voices fit, they don't seem forced, and there seems to be quite a bit of actual emotion in there. They can mix it well with the singing and make it sound good. A lot of bands can't do that.
