Gotta diversify that taste- spice of life

Subbed. You helped me remember some old bands i used to be obsessed with back in high school

[@maxxisntbored]

Thanks! Will do

[@FoamSquatch]

Being old as hell (42) and growing up in the scene late to early 2000s I was super into PG99, saetia, Joshua fit for battle, the locust, off! and all the early Skramz ( what we called Screamo then ) It was nice stumbling across this and hearing bands I haven't heard.

[@ViciousFirearms]

Wait so is the term “screamo” not used anymore? I grew up listening to stuff like Orchid, Circle Takes the Square, Duck Duck Goose, etc in the early-mid 2000s but stopped listening until recently and got confused from all the people throwing the term “skramz” around

[@prankstertwins]

this is the good shit

[@elk3407]

​@@ViciousFirearmsPeople got fed up with people conflating this with metalcore/deathcore bands which also get called screamo, so people started calling it skramz.... But most people still call it screamo when talking to people who know what this genre is

[@couchslouch3540]

Skramz sounds so lame!!

[@couchslouch3540]

​@@ViciousFirearmsrebel against it.

[@jasper6164]

im going to subscribe based on watching this one no nonsense video. good vibe. haha love it.

[@jasper6164]

follow up because i finished the video: closet witch and kurio jukai are officially on my listen more of. elaine elaine, flesh parade also seem totally brutal and excellent, cant wait to check them out more. a lot of these bands like healing powers, nuvolascura terry green got that good mathy borderline midwest emo energy. i like that too. you did a good job getting together a variety of rare and different scramy sounds.

[@maxxisntbored]

Thanks a lot Jasper! I'm glad you enjoy, welcome welcome

Hell yes man, thanks for the video. I've been getting back to listening to a lot more skramz lately because I'm getting a bit fatigued by overly produced metal bands and need something a bit more raw. I've heard of/listened to several of these bands and have a handful to check out.

Bro, could u explain why the community is bothered by the term skramz like if it were derogatory to the genre?

[@maxxisntbored]

I haven't encountered that, maybe it's just who you talk to about it. Getting mad over what people call your music is a waste of time/energy. Genres are made up as are the names of said genres.
It's all a time-waste game don't sweat the suckers

[@TR-nl7ts]

basically skramz became the name for the more OG “real” screamo bands. it’s basically used to differentiate those corporate hot topic bands to bands like these. it basically started as a joke but it became its own thing. some people call it screamo some emo violence or just skramz

[@bluntsleazy]

i love skramz or what us old men call screamo, but the reason im commenting is the band godfuck i never heard there was a noise grind band from my area od detroit called god fuck off, they were cooler

You're showing your age by not having Nation of Ulysses, The Locust, Lake of Dracula, and a whole bunch of bands who invented the subgenre on this list. SMH, congrats on having your first beer, but maybe you should get a few more years under your belt before you make a list.

@@maxxisntbored TLDR

[@couchslouch3540]

Skramz is a stupid name, i mean it sounds real lame.
Even more stupid that you have to put what it actually is in parentheses.
The bands are sick though...
Also- listen to Charles Bronson or The Locus, with a bit of Moss Icons' first record for old school screamo influence.
They are, after all, the bands that started it.

[@deadsunpker]

Wow sounds like trying to scream but don’t know the technique and destroying your vocal chords kinda music I’ll just throw it in the dumpster

[@maxxisntbored]

That's cool, it's not for everyone! Thanks for letting us know how much you don't like it

[@PROJECT_XENON]

@@maxxisntbored alot of it is really good, being a post hardcore fan all my life, but he's right. the scream technique in quite a few of these is incredibly dangerous and i wouldnt be surprised if they had permanent vocal damage.
i feel like alot of the already great ones would sound even better with proper scream technique
(for reference, i am a vocalist who does cleans and screams)
