Difference between Metal and Screamo

[Cromyth]

Screamo comes from emo, emo comes from hardcore and that comes from punk. Punk (and screamo, too) is based on simple riffs that are easy to mosh too, and are most often fast and catchy. It's made to mosh to and scream along with it. Screamo bands to not to focus on technical music playing or cord progression, rather more about emotional/angry lyrics and atmosphere. Screamo, the name, comes from the root style of singing, which is just screams.

 

Metal, conversely, is often not catchy and made to scare and offend most people (most metalheads will tell you it's to "safeguard" the music from pousers). It's about speed, technical ability and song structure. Metal bands are usually judge almost exclusively on their ability to play fast and well. The "cookie monster" lyrics don't come from the throat like typical screams, but rather from right above the belt and the pitch is controlled in the throat.

 

A good way to tell the difference is to listen to how the instruments are played. Metal guitar usually has a "chugging" sound to it, cause by downward strumming exclusively (because it sounds "heavier"). The first guitarist I can personally remember using this style is Kerry King from Slayer, but there might of been guitarist before him; They also use alternate picking in solos. The sound of guitars vary though from genre to genre; It's either down strumming or high pitch "screaming" guitars though. Also, most guitars are tuned in "C" standard. Drumming is usually extremely fast and features a lot of double-bass drumming and blast beats. You can't really hear the bass.

 

That's the difference between scream and metal.
