Worst style of music...... EVER.

Even in that link it says that the tag is vague and I know for a fact (as I spend a lot of time around the local screamo scene) that there is a backlash from the screamo community against the genre being referred to as screamo and are trying to get people to refer to their music as 'hardcore' or the other genres branching off it.

I find that there is a lot of negativity about being 'screamo'. Like an automatic hate.

It doesn't just have to do with the vocals. It has to do with the music as well. Combine that with the vocals and the material at hand in the lyrics you have the genre screamo.

Which would totally void your comment about the difference between screaming and growling...

And of course it has to do with the musical style which is why bands like escape the fate shouldn't be classified the same as parkway drive.

it would not void my comment at all. There is still a difference between them comment included. Both bands suck anyway and both are screamo.

Cannibal corpse utilizes screaming in their songs. Screamo isn't a genre, that's like saying rap is a genre.

If Rap isn't a genre or style of music,then what is it?

 

[Fisha]

It's a singing technique, it's used in hip hop, grime, rock whatever else.

This is a good discussion and I think I tend to agree that rap is a vocal style. I never really cared to think about it before...but the rapping of the 70's is far different than it is today. Look at Blondie on Rapture...but then again their genre was pop music.

Or the scat singing style that we hear in jazz.

I found this interesting. To me it makes sense...I dunno...hip hop is the genre we know today that features rapping primarily as a vocal style.

Hip hop music is a musical genre that developed as part of hip hop culture, and is defined by four key stylistic elements: rapping, DJing/scratching, sampling (or synthesis), and beatboxing. Hip hop began in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop also denotes the practices of an entire subculture.

Rapping, also referred to as MCing or emceeing, is a vocal style in which the artist speaks lyrically, in rhyme and verse, generally to an instrumental or synthesized beat. Beats, almost always in 4/4 time signature, can be created by sampling and/or sequencing portions of other songs by a producer. They also incorporate synthesizers, drum machines, and live bands. Rappers may write, memorize, or improvise their lyrics and perform their works a cappella or to a beat.

Jazz Scat is a language
YouTube - The Mighty Boosh - Vince talks jazz 'Scat' from Series 3 episode 'Journey to the centre of the Punk'

I am not a fan of the scat singing style and never associated it with our newer Urban genres, but I'll leave that for the academics to debate.

Nice post MP, but I have a far simpler way to classify Rap music myself.

I simply go into a record store, and when I am browsing through the aisles checking things out, there it is..."Rap/Hip-Hop" all nicely organized and put in it's very own section.

Of course I Never bother picking up any of those CD"s to look at, but it is nice to know they are quarantined in their own section....

In my opinion - rap, electronic pop, club music, disco. Hate all of this.
