lol sawtooth grin has to have the most high pitch scream of any band i've ever heard
also pretty crazy the singer of AILD tried to have his wife killed
Screamo is an actual genre? I always thought it was a made up word used by outsiders to refer too any kind of extreme form of music.
Gas Up Yr Hearse take the high-pitched singing award, but they at least have a male singer to balance the screeches out.
ForceFedGlass were pretty awesome. I never heard about the singer trying to have his wife killed, that's crazy.
Never heard "Stab You In the Head" before, I like
A lot of the people in the scene hate the term, but to answer your question, yes it is, or was, now they just call it post-hardcore.
Basically when Green Day, The Offspring, Bad Religion, NOFX, & Rancid were making punk music popular, and bands like Jimmy Eat World were making emo popular, the louder, faster, crazier bands were classified as screamo (they still just called themselves Punk for the most part because they hated the comparison to emo (especially when it became a fashion) and most also think the term is stupid since all music is emotional, to some extent.
Eventually to avoid confusion they started referring to "screamo" bands as Post-Hardcore.
