Screamo

Screamo is considered a subgenre of emo and hardcore punk. The word screamo comes from scream. Basically it is a fusion of chaotic hardcore full of lyrics that deal with existentialist themes with great intellectual, melancholic and sometimes political issues. The screamo originated in the United States in the mid-1990s, and was mainly characterized by loud or sharp loud vocal or shouting, often violent and dramatic. Unlike hardcore punk, the songs tend to vary a lot in their rhythms, being often chaotic, but gently interspersing melodic sections (although experimentation with post-rock has been experienced lately), and the screams are more acute. In turn, a difference from grindcore or powerviolence, guitars are less distorted in most cases.
