Imo this is "emo"; music that inspires emotion, lyrics that provoke emotion, and live they played with every ounce of emotion they could muster and then some. still to this day the most intense shows I've ever been too.Iommic Pope wrote: Skip, you rule.

When I think of "emo," I think of Thursday, Thrice, Hawthorne Heights, 18 Visions, Bleeding Through, Throwdown, Atreyu, and all those other non-descript "metalcore" "screamo" "hardcore" bands that made me really have a hard time with "punks" from roughly 2002-2006.
none of these bands are emo. these are all third generation emo at best, and post hardcore/shit at worst.
Fine. Rites of Spring sucks too, and no one would like them if it weren't for the Fugazi/Dischord connection.
quick thought:
98% of the bands in this thread sound (to my ears, obvs) like the throwaway Victory bands that weren't super-bro hardcore.
Aping other musos but using the clean channel instead hardly constitutes a revival.

Urban Dictionary wrote:1. skram
Skram is a corruption of the word screamo, first coined in 2004 by Alex Bigman, a.k.a. thebigmin, on the messageboard Cross My Heart With A Knife as a joke. Over time, people took it somewhat seriously, and has now come to be used as a less-commercially co-optable term for screamo, since that word has been bastardized into oblivion, used to describe any shitty whine-fest bands on MTV and the Warped Tour that incorporate maybe 30 seconds of screaming per song.
Typically, true skram records are pressed only on vinyl, with handmade covers, and in quantities of far less than 1,000.
Previous and less successful attempts to create a term that the mainstream media and major record companies would deem "too stupid" to steal and repackage included kittencore, and the more appropriate, kitten violence.
Superlatives:
-ultimate skram : literal meaning
-epic skram : skram that usually contains abrupt and extreme tempo and volume/distortion changes, nontraditional rock instrumentation (cellos, violins, trumpets, various other orchestral instruments), and other effects to heighten the "epic" feel of the song, these songs tend to be longer in length
-1337 skram : more obscure and elitist skram
-OOP skram : used for skram records that have gone out of print, but are still in demand, and hence, command a princely sum on eBay or board.vivalavinyl.org
Variations:
-skramo
-SKR##M)
-teh screamies
-skramz0rz (or further variations, ex: skramzei0rz0ers, the mor...
