Don't get me wrong, I love Atreyu, UnderOath (I'm listening to them right now :D), and AILD more than anything, but them screming doesn't make it screamo. They're metalcore, along with bullet for my valentine, all that remians, the devil wears prada, and killswitch engage. Screamo was an offshoot of Emo and Hardcore Punk in the early 90s. Circle to the Squre, pg. 99, and Hot Cross are a few REAL screamo bands. the three bands you listed are acually NOT screamo.

Try bands like the birds are spies, the report to the trees, I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism IN Your Yearbook or even Circle Takes The Square and Saetia. They are screamo. You don’t listen to screamo.

They are screamo.

I don't just listen to screamo though I also listen to my favorite bands all time low, the Maine,and escape the fate. The point is people shouldn't say eww screamo,( mostly ghetto ppl say that I use to go to a very ghetto public school and if you liked one simple rock song they labeled you emo)people should look up the lyrics && give it a try cause I use to not like it hut now I kinds do ( except the pig squels) !

They are probably three of my most listened to "screamo" bands. Also, i don't know if you know of them, but All That Remains and Parkway Drive are also right up that alley with those 3. As for people automatically classifying Screamo as garbage, i think that nobody will ever like something that they are already determined to hate. When people are listening to a song, the moment they hear a scream, that tends to be the moment of decision for them, and if you don't like screaming, then the rest of the song after that is just going to be terrible for you. People need to open their minds a little, i too used to hate screamo, i thought it all sounded the same, and it didn't have much art to it. the turning point for me was one night i was listening to all that remains on the mix on my ipod and i was feeling really depressed because i had just been dumped and when i heard the scream it just enveloped me, nad i realized that that was the sound i would be making if i could. it helped bring out my emotions more (and i know this sounds so stupid, no need to JUDGE), and after that i fell in love with it. HOWEVER, the genre of death metal or bands that do 100% pig squeal screaming i feel over do it a little, i can still appreciate it and still listen to it sometimes, but i think they should tone it down a little. bands such as The Black Dahlia Murder, Job For A Cowboy, and others are just tooooo much. i guess the point i'm trying to make is, even if you decide you like screamo, doesn't mean you have to devote yourself entirely to it, if you know what i mean...

Besides that i see your point, those bands really offer something else than just screaming, they have powerful lyrics and the music is impressive. i'm great fan of both Underoath and Poison The Well (i'm not really into Atreyu, since i don't find appeal in their influences from 80's cheesy metal). Is great to find people who are open, and you may like to try with band that set the foundations of screamo, like Orchid, Funeral Dinner, Saetia or The Kodan Armada. Sure you gonna find them amazing as well Good for you…but neither Atreyu or Underoath even not Poison The Well are screamo.
