Screamo

cant stand it actually. I know the music is great but singers messed up things for me on this kind of music. I could stand it if it would last a few seconds for example on latest Sonata Arctica, tony, the singer screams just the last word of the sentence which in my opinion is better than screaming the whole thing.
The thing is i found it annoying and just dont like it. But hey, everyone has its own opinion.

My boiend LOVES heavy metal music, he even plays it on his guitar, & is pretty good at it too...I myself do not like heavy metal it is just 'too loud' for me to listen to. I do listen to it as Rex loves it so much though...lori

I believe it is okay as long as they are screaming something you can understand... usually I can never understand what most are saying and its like me just yelling gibberish with nice music in the background.

i think that i may be one of the biggest heavy metal/metal fans in the world. it is what motivates me and makes life make sense to me. i can wax lyrical about metal all day and i am on an endless quest to meet other metalheads out there. i love screamo too, it appeals to my sometimes emo side. my ipod whose name is zeepod is currently filled with about 3000 or so songs and they are all metal. i have been to the download festival in england which is almost as big as wacken. i love to hear people scream and growl, and that chugging guitar coupled with drums, my bliss!

I wantt o clear something upp a minute. I have noticed on mylot quite a lot, people acossiate Screamo with Heavy Metal, although Screamo is a form of Metal, it is NOT Heavy metal.

Genres of Metal include:
Thrash Metal,
Heavy Metal,
Power Metal,
Death Metal,
Doom Metal,
Black Metal
(among others)....

Noow although some forms of Metal such as Heavy, Thrash, Power and so on, use a little bit of screaming at some point, its not really the same.
Bands that fall into the category of Doom, Black or Death Metal are generally the ones that scream. Also Goth Metal for example, can be considered "Screamo". I notice that Heavy Metal in general falls under the stereotype of "Screamo", is Black Sabbath, ACDC, Deep Purple, Led Zepelin, Early Cream and so on "Screamo" Really....

Heavy Metal I love, "Screamo" I dont, its hgorrible to be honest.

Screamo is for whiny little emos who think they are hardcore. It is not the essence of metal at all, and shouldn't even be considered metal in my opinion. I love metal music, I'm not into all the screaming though. I mainly listen to Industrial metal because it uses clean vocals most of the time. It's much nicer than whiny emo 'metal' or guttural death metal, not to mention the nerdy power metal scene.
You've got to look for good metal,because a lot of it these days is crap. Good metal, great metal is still out there. Don't bother with these nu-metal acts like Korn and Slipknot either. Pure trash.
I suggest Oomph!, Rammstein, Zeromancer, Murderdolls, Die Krupps, Type O Negative and the like. Everyone has different tastes though, and metal is more of an acquired one.
