Screamo Current mood:Unenthused Let me tell you about the two lamest forms of music to come out in the last ten years. 'Emo' is short for emotional music and it's basically kids who were cut from the team and couldn't get girls, and as a way to combat that the sing about their feelings. There's a lot of pain and pussiness involved. Then, on the other hand, you have the 'Scream' music where you have the same kids who grew up shitty but their avenue is to yell lyrics to the point of unintelligiblity. Most quote-unquote 'death metal' bands use this tactic now. Well, now the two styles have combined. It's called 'screamo' and it requires no talent. I could lead a screamo band, I can yell with the best of them. At the front of this movement right now is probably Hawthorn Heights, a completely overrated band, that the teeny boppers apparently love. Is this really where alternative/punk music is right now? When I was a 'kid', we had Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, bands with talent. Bands Raged Against the Machine, they didn't piss, moan, and complain their way to stardom. Here's Hopin this is just a fad. Thanks, Foxy
