I didn't mean to say yr taste in music is limited, It just seemed like an ignorant statement to me.
oh and I only heard of that "Skramz" shit when I got here. Where do you kids come up with such silly words?

I think you're making the mistake of thinking that because they sound different than what you normally hear makes them original. Compared to their earlier stuff, this is much more bland and less original. many bands do very similar things that The Locust do. And I feel my statement for saying they suck is pretty legitimate...I mean, this basically boils down to opinion, right? I mean, musically, I feel they are much more devoid of originality than they were...I compare them to other bands that adopted certain methods they used to use in their music, and many bands are doing many more creative things. You might disagree, whatever. Also, the new stuff doesn't really sound like them, but longer. Their old stuff compared to the stuff now is worlds apart, and much less entertaining to me, but thats just me. No big deal. Sorry to keep beating a dead horse, I'll stop now.
Anyhow, the term "skramz," which it seems not that many people seem to know, was a term coined by Alex aka "Boss Skramz," vocalist for Seeing Means More. Ironically enough, his band doesn't really do screaming vocals, and musically its so different than what most people call "skramz" today. Anyone who has listened to them, they play a breakdown filled type of emotive hardcore/metalcore. I like it, and this was the band that coined the term "skramz" yet they sound nothing like most of these bands people call skramz. I've heard people call Loma Prieta a "skram" band, but they sound nothing like SMM at all, so it seems this retarded term is just being applied to any screamo band nowadays...awesome (sarcasm). Thank all those idiots over at CMHWAK for being tools and making this idiotic term applied to any type of emotive hardcore.
