What it is, what to hear first, and what sits next to it.
Screamo is a subgenre of the more melancholic and introspective sounds of Punk, such as Emotional Hardcore (also known as Emocore) and Post-Hardcore, making use of the desperate and heartbreaking scream as its most notorious characteristic, as well as its more aggressive and sad instrumental. It started in the 90s with bands like Saetia, Portraits of Past and One Eyed God Prophecy, which performed this depressive, melancholic and passionate sound characterized by the rawness of the voice and lyrics. .
