why do people listen to screamo?

oh you shouldn't have said that you're gonna piss off all the little angsty emo kids

You know, I often wonder the same thing-- personally it sounds hideous to my ears-- but in the words of my friend:

"I've found a new appreciation for screamo music, it's not just pointless screaming-- it takes skill to be able to scream without damaging vocal cords. And the artist is letting out what the listener wishes he/she could."

Screamo, like all other music, is an expression. People can identify with the intensity of it.

I kind of understand what she's trying to say.

I live for screamo/metal it is an art just as any other music is. It takes a while for it to build on you though and not everyone can. But the concerts are amazing and the music usually sends a great message. I recommend listening to some a day to remember the are one of my favorite band try and give them a chance

Yeah, I can't bear it too. Maybe to let go of some of whatever feelings of rage and anger they feel? Well, it's better to scream along a screamo song than go bunch someone in the nose XD!

They like it, I guess. We all have our own tastes in music, although I'm not a fan of it either. But just because you don't like screamo doesn't mean other people shouldn't listen to it.

Because, it speaks to some people differently than it does others. Just like rap, hip-hop, or country(all of which I don't find worth listening too)...speaks to others.

no its not its awesome

i live screamo its my life <3

If your referring to the genre screamo then yes it is terrible. If you are reffering to any music that has screaming then you are ignorant.

For the same reason that you listen to your music. It makes them feel good. Maybe it releases some stress like it does me. why do you listen to punk???or whatever you like to listen to??? maybe you should think about that before asking such a retarded question..

Well, i really enjoy it. I like it because it's different, and it's actually a lot harder to hit screaming death growl notes, than it is to sing along to a awful hannah montana song.

:]

ehm, i listen to t because its different, and i honestly LIKE the sound of it. you need to keep in mind that everyone has a different taste in music so some things that YOU think are awful, other people like the sound of.
