THE DEFINITION OF SCREAMO:
Screamo is a genre of music which predominantly evolved from hardcore punk, among other genres, in the early 1990s. The term "screamo" was initially applied to a more aggressive offshoot of emo that developed in San Diego in 1991, which used short, chaotically executed songs which grafted "spastic intensity to willfully experimental dissonance and dynamics," often with a political message.

Lyrics:
You were nothing but an obstacle in my pathway.
tripping me with my own trust without your hood of falsification.
your beauty is found to be nothing.
nothing but true revulsion.
and that's the only true thing about you.
this melody of my heart points to the composer of my regret.
look north, the sun is still gleaming.
and the moon and the stars still retain these eyes.
you're falling now as I move forward.
fueled by the hope you couldn't take from me.
and scarred by knowedge of painful winters.
Christ still stands perfect in my mind.
Christ still stands perfect in my heart.
Jesus is the beautiful structure of love.
repent me.
to hope and love.
beware nihilists.
you shall fall by the sword.
[oh God]
bringeth the day of judgement

Guess I'm waaaaaayyyy behind with being up to date on all these labels and genres... I don't even know what belongs to what anymore. They keep making new labels/tags/genres it seems, or its probably because I don't keep track either. :-/

...Well, screamo has been around since the 90's. It's not like it's a brand new terminology. It's just people call EVERYTHING SCREAMO because the vocalist screams at times. That's not the only qualification to the genre. A lot of it is about the sound that goes along with the screaming.
