Screamo

Bane4 · Post by **Bane4** » 21 Dec 2005 20:00

ok i love emo and scremo but I have no idea how they are able to scream like that, is it just an abnormal amount of musical talent. Second, if any suggestions are given about how to do it, I have received offers to be a screamer in a band and I need to know if there is any way to do it without killing ur voice, peace

Lots and lots of practice.

Warming up helps IMENSELY too, you can't just go and tear into a scream and not expect to lose your voice.

There are two sets of vocal chords, the ones you use to speak and the 'false' ones that you use to scream, they are a little higher up in your throat and you have to sorta.. feeel it.

Really think about them being loose, it will take lots of practice to get the feel for it, don't just expect that you will be good enough to be in a band any time soon. You will have to suck at it for a while, just like everything in life.

I used to SHRIEK and GROWL in a numetal band.

Now whenever I'm jamming and the mic comes to me, I make weird noises.....

The transition from numetal to free jazz is seamless.

This was on the discovery channel wasn't it Tom? :p

I can scream. My roomates don't like it when scream their names from one end of the apartment to the other. But sometimes my legs are lazy. Can I be a rock star? I want to be a RAWK STAR! Or at least, a groupie

its fun to start emo wars ,

just think of it , where does being emo do for you?

*get cuts
*look like a girl ( eye shadow-liner, tight pants , fucked hair)
*cry all the time
*think of how hard life is ( this is where cuts come in)

its pretty much all negetive ,

you cant spell positive from emo but you can still make fun of them

Wikipedia wrote: As the chorus of detractors increased, emo became more and more a target of derision. Like the Goth scene, people who focus on emo music often share a dark and emotional psyche that makes them feel like they belong outside the mainstream. They tend to thrive on the emotional ups and downs that are typically prevalent in emotionally-driven music such as emo. At the same time, fans of other rock genres, which often emphasize aggression and anger, accuse emo of being too "soft" and "whiny".

In the early years of the "third wave", however, the derision was relatively light-hearted and self-effacing. In September of 2002, web developer Jason Oda put forth Emogame. In the game, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith kidnapped The Get-Up Kids, and players could assume the identities of several popular singers to fight him and his minions, along with more or less every subculture in the American landscape. The game referenced numerous emo stereotypes, but also included pop culture references such as R2-D2 from Star Wars. The game was well-received by both fans and critics of emo alike, eventually spawning multiple sequels. This kind of self-awareness gave emo a much more respectable image to outsiders, as it showed emo to be self-conscious enough to see the humor in itself without abandoning what made it unique.

In recent years, the derision has increased dramatically. Male fans of emo are often hit with homosexual slurs, largely a reflection of the style of dress popular within the "emo scene" and the fact that in many cultures, males are expected to be stalwart and strong, not overly emotional; emotions are "weak" and "feminine".

Regardless of the criticism, emo music retains a loyal audience that includes many who would otherwise consider themselves outside the so-called "emo scene". As with punk rock, the term "emo" may persist for years to come and evolve into even more styles and sounds. Whether or not recognition of the genre will persist and which version of "emo" will be best remembered remains to be seen.

Don't scream the wrong way, or you'll ruin/ lose your voice. The singers from Avenged Sevenfold and Kittie are two ppl I know that, that happened. That would suck.

people who diss emo are fucking lame, actually anybody who shits any type of music are just plain stupid. "Haha, let's make fun of that band because they express themselves different", really, you guys are funny

They must all be gay right?

And people who call ANY music that has some emotion to it "emo" are annoying! "Dude, he is singing about losing his girl, it's so emo" So if alkaline trio is "emo", your telling me green day is emo? The beatles were emo? Sounds very similar sometimes, this would make almost all bands emo.

If anyone noticed, "emo" is turning into the new "gay". As in "that class was gay", now its "that class was emo", a word to describe something you don't like or agree with. I'm sure you know what I mean by that. I expect in ten years for people to be calling everything "emo", as they do now with "gay". I'm not saying it's right at all, it's just what I hear and I can't stand the hateness of it.

Kids at school were always called emo-"fags" "pussies" "queers". It seems that for some reason emo is being tied with homosexuality in a negative, macho bullshit way and not being used to describe music anymore ...

I just really hate the term emo, I wish it was never thought of.

End of rant

Justified-but it is a negative lifestyle-which is why people look down upon it.
