What is Screamo?
'''Screamo''' is a [[musical genre]] which came from both [[emo]] and [[hardcore punk]] in the mid 1990s. This genre usually consists of minor chord progressions on guitar with both dissonance and reverb, the time signatures used are usually not in 4/4 instead bands and artists use less used time signatures to create a more tense feel, This genre has both a mellow and chaotic feel to it. The vocals are usually high-pitched screams and lyrics are often poetic or political. An example of some Screamo bands include Saetia, Orchid, Circle Takes the Square, Envy, pageninetynine, and Thursday.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.buzzle.com/articles/best-screamo-bands.html |title=Best Screamo Bands |work=buzzle.com |accessdate=8 December 2010 |archive-date=7 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007164926/http://www.buzzle.com/articles/best-screamo-bands.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> ==References== {{Reflist}} ==Other websites== * [http://wc09.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=77:13459 Screamo]{{Dead link|date=December 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} at [[AllMusic|All Music Guide]] {{music-stub}} [[Category:Music genres]]
