Screamo: Music or Not?
There is quite a lot of dispute between older adults and the younger generations over weather or not "Screamo" is considered music or not.
My mother will probably go to her grave believing screamo isnt music. she says its just noise,and theres no music there. so i presented her with the obvious: theres instruments, vocals,melodies, and harmonies. she wasnt going for it. then,i took it to a different level. i told her how music is everchanging,and evolving like humans,this is a new stage that should be accepted.its just people trying to make their place in the world, and express how they feel through music. they portray it in that way because,maybe they just like it,maybe thier"angry" maybe they just want to stand out,or,they just want to do what they love. theyt dont want to be judged just because they like to scream.
my opinion: I love screamo,grind core, crunk/crab core, and emotronica. but i also love country, celtic, and many other music types. i listen to music that matches how i feel,if im hyper id listen to techno, or emotronica(techno with scream vocals)country when im working in the yard at home, or at a family gathering,celtic when im relaxing at night, and so forth.people know howw i feel by what i listen and how loud. thats how i express my feelings in a safe environment.
I'm a music lover ot the core, singing since i could talk playing cello for 4 years. my world is music, it's shaped who i am, in a way people cant begin to understand. I have no dream other than to do what i love for a living, i want to sing. and attend McNally Smith college of music,its a dream ive had for years. and though ill be judged,fought,and disapproved, by others, ill hold on to that dream,still listening ot whatever music i want ot listen to. because whether people Scream till their blue, or sing the blues, music is music, and it has a very special place in my heart.
