Yeah. I don't have great taste in punk. But then again. Punk is untasteful.
Hmm.
I'd like to tell you that you're wrong again,
But all of those bands are of subgenres of punk. Offshoots.
So I guess in some mismatched way it's right.
Punk, emo and screamo are three totally different genres
- Punk was about rebellion, fighting both "the man" and the corperate, up-your-own-arseiness of heavy metal, it spawned hardcore which was a fightback to the places that wouldn't give punk it's own places to play gigs and with it came the DIY ethic of "if we can't go to the gig, we'll bring the gig to us"
- Emo grew in the 1980's out of punk's hardcore scene, it became punk and hardcore's emotional, timid cousin and was favourite of kids who didn't fit in and didn't see the upside of punk or hardcore.
- Screamo is a cross between hardcore (well, metalcore) and emo but it fails to be either... It think it's hardcore crossed with black metal but really it's a jumped up child who wants attention.
