thank you for the quick You And I shoutout.. I played drums for You and I. I love your 10 records here.. Saetia was our tour mates a few times.. and when You and I and saetia disbanded... my brother Casey became part of Hot Cross. so super cool to see you chose Hot Cross in your top 10.. Casey was one of the guitarists in You and I.. and was also excited to see Capacities to be part of your list.. as Tom was the other guitarist from You and I.
@@boland3111c no no! i'm the one doing the You and I project thing that i cant announce publically yet. i talked to Tom, Jon, and Casey about it (i think he mentioned it to you) over instagram/in real life. just super cool to randomly stumble across your comment!
Who are you top 10? I haven't listened to this genre in years, but caught the bug again. I was really into Yaphet Koto, Hot Cross, and The Saddest Landscape

for me nothing like "PORTRAITS OF PAST" ... i searched 20 years something like "cosmonaut" from ATDI, and only discover Screamo, in 2022 ! TH-cam algo is .... strange !
You can’t go wrong with Orchid! Dance Tonight Revolution Tomorrow is amazing with great songs like Destination Blood! And Lights Out! Chaos is Me is also my favorite and is the album that got me into screamo! I’m so happy to find another person who knows what screams actually is! I wish it wasn’t so mislabeled because people don’t know the real genre that’s amazing!
My guitar teacher was actually from the scene. He showed me his stuff when I was 17.. so far got stuck with Screamo. I am 22 years old now, I did some Screamo songs while I was in school with a friend of mine. I played the guitar and was screaming my lungs out and he made some drum beats with his computer, he is a Hip-Hop Guy and always was making Beats on his Computer. I quit the guitar for a while and just started playing half a year ago again. I want to make some Screamo again now, I am just happy there are still people keeping the scene alive !! If anyone wants to make some Screamo (online) feel free to ask ! :)

Thank you for this great rundown on the genre, you're 100% on point when you say that screamo is often misunderstood. Your picks show how screamo can have many styles while maintaining its special sound. A couple of bands that weren't on this video but that I strongly suggest are Moldar and Navio Forge.
What do you think of this latest wave of screamo? Bands like For Your Health, Snag, Frail Body, Shin Guard, Portrayal Of Guilt, and Ostraca? Screamo is kind of having a moment again.
I saw hot cross in 2005 at a small book store called all books in summerville SC. I was 13 or 14 and was actually well informed in screamo and punk at that young of an age .my older brother got me into a lot of cool shit and it went way deeper from there. Anyways that show changed my life. Im a drummer... I've gone onto playing music ever since. Was in a screamo band called days become months. We played a shit load kf really cool shows and went on tour twice. Been in about 5 bands after that. Now i have a career as a stagehand/audio tech/set carpenter
If y’all haven’t, listen to Me and Him Call It Us. Has traditional skramz influences with some insane grind parts. The vocalist ended up doing Dead in the Dirt (another great grind band)
Hey, I really enjoyed this, some really good essentials albums, I personally prefer Risk Revival from Hot Cross and love older screamo bands like Indian Summer and newer ones like La Quite and Suis La Lune
I was really into this genre a lot when I was in my teens around the mid 00's. Was in a couple of bands around Leeds, UK that did this kinda thing (we are corpses and jupiter lander). Good Times. The bands that really stuck with me were la quiete and raein, particularly la quiete, their 10" is my favourite record of all time.
duuuuude, you made my day bringing daitro to the mix. when you started i doubted u incorrectly. very happy to be wrong. so happy to have seen them in tampa 10+ years ago. anyways, this is an amazing list. i love all the albums you mention and i completely get how tough it must have been choosing 10 albums. theres too many to choose. but this is a the perfect entry for anyone interested in the genre or as a reminder to any og that stumbles thru . If you ever create a top 10 songs video, be sure to consider raein - a new day scenario (from the daitro/raein split) . Epic does not describe the experience listening to it. imagine writing it... Cheers!
Just randomly saw this video recommended on TH-cam... I listed to a lot of this back in high school (I graduated in 2002). To this day Saetia and Orchid are still two of my favorites. Unfortunately I don't own any of it on Vinyl but thankfully it's all digital now. I had to hunt it down and download stuff from Napster to listen back then! Saetia has played a couple shows recently and will have a couple more in Cali in a couple months and I'm super bummed I can't go!
Anomie!! Ananda had most of the same members I think. There was another French band called Jasemine that had a similar sound. I hear a lot of influence of this generation of French emo in modern 'Black Metal' - Alcest and bands like that.
Ooofff... great albums man, 1000 travels to jawarhalal and aghast where my favourites, maybe khayembii comunique as well... and let me recomend you ostende and arboles en llamas from south america as well
Great video. You communicate really well. My favorite screamo album is probably Quiet! Pull the Strings although I've listened to You Will Not Survive and Shin Guard's 2020 a lot more. One of my absolute favorite albums is Ulises by Viva Belgrado although I think it really crosses that boundary out of screamo and into post-hardcore. I'm fairly new to the genre still and enjoyed learning about all these bands I hadn't heard of before.
Suis la lune is probably one of the best bands out there. That album is so raw and the production is so dirty... Check all the new compilations that they released now because they just release a new discography vinyl compilation box, they have nice old songs all put together. And Viva Belgrado's first influence you can tell only by hearing them that it's Suis la Lune, Ulises is a very good album but Flores, Carne is outstanding.
just found about your channel and subscribed. great video, I've been really diving deeper into screamo this past summer. I'd have to say You And I is my favourite screamo band, everything they did is just fantastic.
I appreciate the effort that went into this. Especially with the scene revival thing that was going on for a bit there, a lot of kids might get turned on to some great records from stuff like this video.
Damn. Good stuff. I got a ton of those 90's screamo/hardcore 7"s/lps/comps. Anything from ebullition and gravity records is good. I got that Saetia tour edition lp. Such a good genre
Pontifex Maximus i don't think so, I only really listen to a couple sludge metal bands, primarily Neurosis and Boris (if they even count). I think somone else who knows the genre better should tackle that one. I do want to do videos for post-hardcore, 60s/70s psych, emo, prog metal, and hardcore punk though.
I may cop some flack for it but honestly the album that absolutely is a stand out for me is Alexisonfire self titled. That album is amazing and in my eyes the best the genre has ever had.
If you haven’t checked them out already, you should listen to I, Robot (not to be confused with the Alan Parson’s project or the movie) and The Critic (not to be confused with the cartoon). Really cool skramz bands that get overlooked.
I heard a few songs from Envy as my first exposure to screamo and really didn't care for it initially. A few months later, I was looking at the charts for "powerviolence" genre after being super impressed with powerviolence/grind band called Full of Hell. Orchid came up and I listened to both of those albums mostly just perplexed and confused, but yet something kept drawing me back in. And then I was hooked. Orchid's final album (Gatefold) is probably my favorite screamo album. Some of their stuff from splits/b-sides/unreleased material that appeared on the "Totality" compilation was actually quite different from "Chaos is Me", "Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow“ or "Gatefold". The stuff on "Totality" is more like straight up grindcore but with a bit of emo/screamo influence.
hey man you do a really good job .. i was watching a bunch of your videos while i was cleaning records with my pro-ject rcm .. i really enjoyd your videos , and we have a bunch of the same records ... but i was really shocked that you not mentiond swing kids once .. i mean you love scremo and you love jazz ... you have to love it ;-) .. love your orchid , angel hair , envy .. rain is amazing stuff .. looking forward for more in the future ... just a view recomendations .. song of zarathustra , camera obscura , wolves . with love from italy and tidal from germany .. bet you will love that stuff
Because of the experimentation, I would probably label more so as post hardcore. Such an amazing album; the incredibly melodic and cathartic moments still give me shivers.
There is different type of screamo like pop screamo like Thursday and even silverstein did cover orchid song "destination blood",post screamo like funeral diner, and power screamo or emoviolence ( i prefer called power screamo) like orchid and jeromes dream
Carlos Olguin I think what you’d describe as “pop-screamo” was really more like modern post-hardcore with a poppy spin. The clueless mainstream rock press erroneously called bands like Thursday and Glassjaw screamo because they had heard the term but didn’t really know about the underground scene it came from. They just needed a way of differentiating the slightly heavier stuff from bands like Dashboard and Taking Back Sunday.
Great video and I must admit these bands were news to me, I will have to check them out. I am a fan of the early 80's hardcore punk scene, so, for whatever reason, I can only stomach the singing in Screamo for so long. However, I really enjoy the music. Looking forward to what your recommendations are for hardcore and post-hardcore. I was wondering if you were into some of the more melodic post-rock stuff? A couple of bands I'm really liking are Totorro and Brontide.
Will do. We discussed Alexisonfire on BarackPdubs channel, whom I do enjoy. Do you consider them Screamo or post-hardcore? In any case, the way they weave Dallas Green and George Petit's vocals is awesome. BTW, listened to some more Saetia on Spotify this evening and it's growing on me :)
I think I would consider Alexisonfire post-hardcore, although the argument could be made that their first album was screamo. In general I think their pop sensibilities exclude them from traditional screamo bands, same goes for groups like Silverstein.
I find taste in music interesting. I really like Saetia as well. From the two bands that were formed after their breakup, Hotcross and Off Minor, I personally prefer Off Minor a lot more. I’d personally put their first album on this list. Though this isn’t my list. I like Off Minors Jazz influenced Screamo. They use a lot of jazzy type of compositions in their music. Maybe I should give Hotcross another chance, but if you like jazz influenced screamo, try Off Minor. Especially their first album
Oh yeah tons of stuff: Ostraca, Glassing, Scowler, Heaven in Her Arms, Blue Friend, Yumi, Lyed, Loma Prieta, Citycop, Innards, Ampere, Locktender, Nous Etions, Gas Up Yr Hearse, just off the top of my head.
how do screamo and post-hardcore differentiate? does phc always have some clean singing? also thank you for so many new bands! i just got into orchid and funeral diner because i was looking for where tragic lyrics came from: death, tragedy, romance, etc. i feel like it was in Hawthorne Heights and my chemical romance, mayyybe in the used and silverstein. thanks man!
Honestly those two genres can be combined. Post-hardcore is hardcore with more melody to it (leaning toward rock/alternative), not necessarily in the vocals but that definitely happens, while screamo is generally octave chords and based around screaming. Bands like Envy mix the post-hardcore leanings with screamo.
Nice and informative video! My favourites were Saetia, You and I, Yague, Raein & Orchid. Would you please let me know if you would categorize the band underoath in the same screamo category? Cheers!
I always thought screamo can from 2yk about the emotional lyrics rather than metalcore that is primarily about vocal Range? Screamo was definitely a 2yk thing.
music professor ! I get it. Those bands labels are probably still around. But as you get deeper into the genre you will find that most of the labels dont exist anymore.

I love Alexisonfire! To me they are really more of a post hardcore band than a traditional skramz band.
Alexisonfires first album leans into the skramz subgenre a bit, I always thought. But traditionally they've always been more or less post hardcore.
If you haven’t checked them out already, you should listen to I, Robot (not to be confused with the Alan Parson’s project or the movie) and The Critic (not to be confused with the cartoon). Really cool skramz bands that get overlooked.

Great video and I must admit these bands were news to me, I will have to check them out. I am a fan of the early 80's hardcore punk scene, so, for whatever reason, I can only stomach the singing in Screamo for so long. However, I really enjoy the music. Looking forward to what your recommendations are for hardcore and post-hardcore. I was wondering if you were into some of the more melodic post-rock stuff? A couple of bands I'm really liking are Totorro and Brontide.
Try checking out Yaphet Kotto or A Day in Black and White, less screams, more instrumentals and even some clean singing.
Will do. We discussed Alexisonfire on BarackPdubs channel, whom I do enjoy. Do you consider them Screamo or post-hardcore? In any case, the way they weave Dallas Green and George Petit's vocals is awesome. BTW, listened to some more Saetia on Spotify this evening and it's growing on me :)
I think I would consider Alexisonfire post-hardcore, although the argument could be made that their first album was screamo. In general I think their pop sensibilities exclude them from traditional screamo bands, same goes for groups like Silverstein.
SAETIA ARE BACK TOGETHER NOW ❤❤❤
Clicked because cryonics
solid picks
I find taste in music interesting. I really like Saetia as well. From the two bands that were formed after their breakup, Hotcross and Off Minor, I personally prefer Off Minor a lot more. I’d personally put their first album on this list. Though this isn’t my list. I like Off Minors Jazz influenced Screamo. They use a lot of jazzy type of compositions in their music. Maybe I should give Hotcross another chance, but if you like jazz influenced screamo, try Off Minor. Especially their first album
underrated vid.
I wouldn't call saetia "the" screamo band because, as you said, they came very late. they kinda put the full stop on screamo.
Man capacities was sick sucks that they ended up breaking up
Hey bro do you like Suffix or Tunes for Bears to Dance to? I'm not good at labeling bands but I have them in my screamo playlist
WE ARE NOT GATEKEEPING ENOUGH
I'm as old as Circle Takes the Square lol
I know that the powerviolence band Iron Lung had big screamo/emo roots, would you consider their early material as such?
Ur goated bro
Do you have any suggestions for newer bands from the 2010s? Been digging into skramz but it seems most of it was either in the 90s or 00s.
Oh yeah tons of stuff: Ostraca, Glassing, Scowler, Heaven in Her Arms, Blue Friend, Yumi, Lyed, Loma Prieta, Citycop, Innards, Ampere, Locktender, Nous Etions, Gas Up Yr Hearse, just off the top of my head.
how do screamo and post-hardcore differentiate? does phc always have some clean singing? also thank you for so many new bands! i just got into orchid and funeral diner because i was looking for where tragic lyrics came from: death, tragedy, romance, etc. i feel like it was in Hawthorne Heights and my chemical romance, mayyybe in the used and silverstein. thanks man!
Honestly those two genres can be combined. Post-hardcore is hardcore with more melody to it (leaning toward rock/alternative), not necessarily in the vocals but that definitely happens, while screamo is generally octave chords and based around screaming. Bands like Envy mix the post-hardcore leanings with screamo.
Just a little nitpick. Circle Takes the Square are from Georgia, not Virginia.
Just curious if youve checked out "Father Figure"?
Alan Acula father figure is sick check out two knights same vocalist
@@iwonderwhereuwent
I love Two Knights.
I actually heard them first before Father Figure.
Haha
daïtro
Nice and informative video! My favourites were Saetia, You and I, Yague, Raein & Orchid. Would you please let me know if you would categorize the band underoath in the same screamo category? Cheers!
@MemesAreDreams I just checked it out and indeed it is. Thanks!
As the roots undo is one of the best
Ostraca is number one for me
I always thought screamo can from 2yk about the emotional lyrics rather than metalcore that is primarily about vocal Range?
Screamo was definitely a 2yk thing.
can you give some links if you bought them online
music professor ! Discogs.com is all you need
i would prefer to buy from a record label to support the band
music professor ! I get it. Those bands labels are probably still around. But as you get deeper into the genre you will find that most of the labels dont exist anymore.
suis la lune?
I made a screamo compilation video on my channel if you're interested in giving that a listen. It includes a few of the bands mentioned in this video.
Yeah..
