Screamo is a subgenre of post-hardcore characterized by intense, emotive soundscapes and chaotic, screamed vocals. Emerging in the 1990s, particularly in San Diego's DIY scene, screamo drew from punk, hardcore, and emo traditions. By the early 2000s, the genre gained mainstream popularity, marked by frantic, intricate guitar work, driving rhythms, and a mix of screamed and clean vocals. Screamo's cultural significance lies in its cathartic expression of adolescent angst and emotional turmoil, resonating with a generation seeking authenticity and release. While often associated with emo and post-hardcore, screamo's distinguishing feature is its more extreme, chaotic sound, which set it apart from its more melodic counterparts.
