== About the "Screamo" page ==
You commented on my talk page about "Screamo" and asked about sources, proof, ect.
Here goes:
1. You beleive that bands such as "The Used", "Rise Against", "Atreyu", and others are "Screamo" bands. This is not the case
Here is a sample of real "Screamo"

Here is a sample of something that is NOT screamo

Clearly, there is a difference in the two songs. The "Screamo" sample includes music that is nearly completely composed of screaming vocals, while the "Non-Screamo" sample is composed mostly of singing vocals with little screaming sections.
To be classified as "Screamo", a song must have mostly screaming vocals in it, and not for only 10-20 seconds. It has to be nearly the WHOLE song.
Here is a link to a site which contains user votes on what is "real screamo" and what is not

2. Next up, you questioned why i listed bands that did not popularize the genre.
Well, here is what is going down: The Used, Atreyu, and Rise Against are not screamo, thus they did not popularize the genre
However, I listed bands such as CTTS, Envy, and Funeral Dinner because they are the bands that have started the genre, as well as popularizing it. You can read it on other sites (including wikipedia)
Alright, theres my discussion for the day. I suggest you keep the "screamo" page as it is, because non of the bands that were originally listed were considered as "screamo" bands
