Is screamo really that bad?

My mom says it sounds like the devil singing,my friends say I'm going emo and it's demon music.

Well they're full of complete sh*t. Screamo ISN'T devil music or evil and it certainly doesn't make you emo. I listen to screamo, metal, and stuff along those lines all the time. I tell people to shut the f*ck up and mind their own business if they say sh*t like that. Just ignore them, they're not right. There's NOTHING wrong with screamo. If you like it, keep listening to it.

not at all. I love screamo music. they're some really good bands out there!

for all I know I dont care what people say about my choice of music.
I listen to hardcore metal and screamo. my friends hate them and condemn it like mad.
but hey, they dont choose your music right?
choose your own music. don't be driven by pressure or anything to listen to something you dislike.

Personally I don't see anything wrong woth screamo it's just another form of the already many kinds of music in the world. I used to hate it, but now that I can comprehend the meaning of a song I know there is nothing bad with most of it. I have listened to almost every genre of music under the sun and have narrowed down what I personally enjoy, which differs from person to person and people will always criticize everything you do so just ignore it.

you are so rude. screamo has lyrics and words just like every other genre out there.
only, some of us (not you obviously) take the time to listen below the surface and hear the meaning.

don't worry about it. your mother probably just wants you to have a normal, teenage life, one which most likely didn't include screamo music. but, trying out different things and discovering what you like and don't like forms your character and personality. if your mother wants what's best for you, she'll let you try out things (within reason, naturally) and form your own unique personality, not just a plain carbon copy or cardboard cutout.
eventually, if you realize you don't like screamo, you'll try out something different.
im pretty sure no one on this planet has heard the devil sing.
and, personally, screamo rocks!!

well I don't think it is evil but personally I don't like it. I just like to hear what they are able to sing and you can't with screamo music, cause well they are screaming. I just don't think it is real music, I don't know maybe if I really tried to listen to what they were saying I would like it.

screamo is really fun to listen to. most don't like it but I like it, but then again I have a very wide spectrum of music I listen to

oh gosh screamo is one of my FAVORITE kinds of music!!!I think that...SOME of the screamo artist might be...kinda demonic...just because some of the songs and stuff are super angry and creepy...but if you listen to a certain bands...its AMAAAZING!!!

my mom says it's devil music too
but little does she know most of them are christian and etc...
which is why it gets on my nerves when she says that.
you can be normal and listen to it.
emo is a stupid label that only some people like to use to get away with their self hatred and need for attention
:]

Yeah I agree with alyssa619!

Most of it is horrible!! the lyrics are terrible!! they say stuff that's not really good to hear for anyone. I do listen to screamo and metal, but the type I listen to has meaningful words. they make it clear enough for you to understand but scream at the same time. I never would've given screamo another chance if I didn't discover the kind I listen to now.

have your mom understand that music has nothng to do with the devil.

that is in the message..

it is what singer talk about during the song that makes it ethical or unethical... good or bad... chistian or devil...

but not the music...

if she want proof on what I'm telling you... tell she to look up Demon Hunter

they are heavy gurnge/screamo band which is christian...

flyleaf is also another one in some aspects

wtf screamo is the best kind of music,tell your mom to go f*ck herself.

ichibanarky isn't being naggy about it. they are just stating their opinion... rap sucks but country is great! at least in my opinion it is

screamo is a genre placed by man Yes it is music , some of the most talented musicians are in these types of bands, but you cannot label it as emo at all! period because once again it is music I think genres are very pointless, it is music, you may or may not agree with country I HATE COUNTRY but it is still talented music. I hate rap. its music just not much music besides beats. so you gotta ask yourself is this creative or not I say screamo music is amazing ! its some of the most honest lyrics you will ever hear ever!. they call it screamo I belive because they are screaming what they belive almost all screamo music is very deep. try underoath, or attack attack or sea the chariot great deep meanings you will not find that in rap or country period!

hell no; screamo is the best :D

screamo is not the (devils) music actually its my favorite kind of music and people shouldn't judge you for what you listen to.

Music can be incredibly deep, and most people don't understand that. They hear the outward coating and label it and judge it. Don't worry about. Formulate your own opinions about what your listening to, thats what most music is for. It's art.

The only time I criticize music, or any art for that matter is when it's shallow, when it's made as a stamped product for the masses.

And personally I don't like screamo. I'm a Tech-metal guy. The Faceless, Opeth, Meshuggah

nah

while I don't think it's either demonic or emo, I really don't get the point of it - it's not music.
