Gah I really hate the terms 'Screamo' or 'Emo' music.
'Screamo' is normally used by those who don't understand the music genre to describe it, and think of all the songs being 'ragh ragh ragh', at least that's what I've found out from talking to closed-minded, hipster wanna-be bastards.
I am huge on metal and love every type of it, but there's so many ways to describe 'Screamo' - i.e. Death metal, Heavy metal, brutal etc.
I am also one for hating on the 'post-hardcore' fags. It's all just a bunch of crap, and the bands are only in it for the fame/looks. Shame really
I do prefer to listen to Progressive, Symphonic, Thrash metal - but crave the occational heavy metal every now and then.
