Screamo: A Dying Style?
 

I have not heard a truly progressive or original screamo band since...well since forever pretty much. There is all these threads on Screamo bands that all sound the same. Octave chords, scream/sing overlaps. Introspective lyrics that are usually obscure with weird refrences. The most boring drumming ever.

I think people need to stop making more Screamo albums unless they're going to do something new.

Discuss?

Circle Takes The Square.

end of.

I never saw the big deal in having an especially unique sound. As long as the songwriting is solid I'm buying. I hear plenty of different things. Some sounds more common than others but still.

i like.. um that band saetia, even thought hats about as cliche as it gets

Let's hope so.

i agree that it's time for this genre to progress a bit..but, for those who like that song...yeah cuz its all like one song...its great, lol! But no, some bands put their own unique twist on it but in general its been abit repetitive for a while now.

its a difficult genre to progress... as anything slightly different from the original sound is named as something else!

the bands are there though.

very true.

there's really nowhere for it to go.

has anybody tried mixing emo with a whole lot of electronica?

Shouldn't you be listening to awesome stoner rock and bragging about how you're on drugs?
