10 REAL SCREAMO RIFFS

[@dravokiks6026]

Screamo has some of the most creative riffage honestly

[@ChadKingOfficial]

It doesn't

[@dozenblades]

@@ChadKingOfficialthen what does?

[@brandanmaza2413]

@@ChadKingOfficial its got so many genres mixed in how could it not be creative

[@nothingissacrosanct]

screamo and its microgenres are, by a margin as wide as the observable universe, the most creatively-inclined and progressive hardcore subgenres. its a truly special musical movement that most people wont for even a single second divert their attention towards as an unfortunate result of its name becoming a colloquialism for any music with screamed vocals. the skramz renaissance that began suddenly around 2018/2019 and is reaching its peak now in the mid 2020s is beautiful; skramz is finally being appreciated as the truly underappreciated art form that it is.

[@aspie-anarchist9854]

​@christopheroftheplanetearth dude thanks I have been arguing forever skramz is the most versatile, creative, structurally interesting form of music to come out of hardcore. You got bands like orchid and inhumanity which are very rooted in grind and powerviolence, bands like loma prieta run the gambit from early stuff being pretty standard screamo, to mathcore, ro post rock to hardcore punk to whatever the song love is lol. Actually I think mathrock and post rock is probably the most commonly used but there is a lot you can do with that. Then you have circle takes rhe square which is basically expiremental punk, math grind, shoegaze, indie, post rock, sludge, doom, with the best lyrics any band has ever written and amazing schizophrenic speed and vocals. Literally my favorite band for 20 years now.

I've compiled some of my personal fav riffs for anyone wanting to add to their repertoire. Portraits of Past - "Bang Yer Head" Jeromes Dream - "The Monologue of The Century" Angel Hair - " Origin of The Species" Ckikatat Ikatowi - "Too Simple" Usurp Synapse - [untitled] the fourth untitled track and the last track overall on their split with Jeromes Dream (the split is titled "An Aspirin, An X-Ray") Funeral Diner - "Borne Upon My Shield"

[@nothingissacrosanct]

bang yer head is one of the most legendarily revolutionary songs in the entire genre, and portraits of past are who id consider the progenitors of post-screamo (the fusion of post-rock and shoegaze with screamo), which was the predominant sound in screamo for like the entirety of the 2000s that met its end just before emoviolence had its little renaissance in the early 2010s. theyre a seriously underappreciated band that are often overlooked by the average skramz fan imo. theyre beyond exceptional, and i often forget just how ahead of their time they were. bang yer head does not sound like it was written in 1993, but it was and thats amazing in itself.

[@RiceShouldBeFluffy]

@@nothingissacrosanct I feel you. One of my fav bands from the Myspace post-hardcore era from the late 00s is Lead Hands (back then known as Decoder) and you can draw a straight line from Portraits of Past to that one and only album Lead Hands put out.

[@itsyagirlVofficial]

Suis la Lune is my favorite band of all time.

[@WarhawkLieutenent]

god tier list of songs. only real skramz gangers know these songs 👹👹👹

[@windyhollow7869]

Nice to see you perform riffs from bands I love and some I’ve never heard of. Definitely gonna have to check them out

[@laughingguy1840]

In a dream I talked to the riff of untitled 6 by I wrote haikus, forgot the conversation sadly

[@foreverlikethestarss]

That’s such a good song

[@drpibisback7680]

"In a dream I talked to the riff from Untitled 6 by I Wrote Haikus" would be a great emo song title.

[@SHTTRRALTY]

@@drpibisback7680 fuck it, i'm gonna do a song called "i spoke to the riff from untitled 12 by iwrotehaikus in a dream", i like that song better

[@AsiansLikeMetal2]

thank you for the playing i swallowed a bug, been my favorite song for so long and i always wanted to try to play it it’s beautiful

[@atkaHC]

Hot Cross - Fair Trades and Farewells from start to finish has the best riffs ever. :D

[@emoluvr2]

[@methylacetate3347]

Amazing bands and amazing performance. Shame there was no Jeromes Dream song.

[@tomhet_0]

Спасибо за крутой ролик! Отсюда изначально знал только орчид, а теперь благодаря тебе узнал новых исполнителей)

[@alfiehaigh8412]

Suis la lune are so damn good, distance/closure is a masterpiece. Such a shame they had to stop playing

[@AleksCoreBY]

Riala album is the only what I listened from them and I absolutely love this album, especially song Cornea.

[@alfiehaigh8412]

[@kingnary9th688]

one of my favourite bands of all time, i miss them every day

[@hanrazak]

[@Branchofsin]

Agreed. Shirokuma is good as well. They had the split together and it was so good.

[@schizophreniagaming4058]

I absolutely love fading away like the rest of them! So glad it was mentioned here.

[@asciicatface]

holy hell this shit is lit I really want emo to be the new genre I just explore the fuck out of cuz damn are all these riffs popping off (especially I am Nietzche)

[@dinjampnick]

Thanks for the Suis La Lune track, it was hard for me to find how exactly to play it :)

[@koray2573]

Suis La Lune were incredible. But La Quiete had the best melodic riffs. And Jerome’s Dream were the wildest. -Sailboats

[@SeihanHiga]

[@MarkitoAlvarez]

Now we need a fake-screamo riff's video full of Funeral For A Friend, Saosin, Silverstein, From First To Last, Underoath and Senses Fail riff's

[@siouxsiexymox6594]

All of those bands are literally just Emo flavored Post-Hardcore 😅

[@ryanbrady7960]

silverstein lowkey has a couple cool riffs tho

same here!

[@michaelarnold3568]

I had to like this video for including Rubber Sidewalks! Make Me is phenomenal

[@anthonyparks505]

This sound defined my teenage years. I couldn't understand what I was hearing then. I wish somebody had shown me 7ths, tritones, other dissonant intervals, double stops. This style, late 90s through early-mid 00s, was more jazz and metal in its inflection. Not to talk shit on 'kids today', but the emo revival stuff which to me is more pop punk influenced, which is fine, it's a different sound, but not really my thing because of the lack of dissonance.

[@JessyPinkman-vi7qp]

Awesome work !

[@alexandertorrente198]

I'm not such a fan of labels, particularly ones that lable whether or not a specific thing is real or not, I do guess it helps with finding styles and whatnot though.

[@arjay4397]

Well the "real screamo" label is different from other "real" genres. Like people who say "this is REAL punk" or "this is REAL rap music" do so because theyre elitist. Screamo fans do so because the label has long since been co-oped by record labels as a marketing term. Most people who have heard the term "screamo" think its just the name for any music that has screaming in it.

[@143jcm]

@@arjay4397 Just call it what it is then.. emotive hardcore. Most "real screamo" bands didnt like the term screamo anyway

[@magna378]

Bro Suis La Lune, Iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook, boy problems, I feel like i'm the only human being who knows of this music. I still haven't found a band that captures raw emotion like Suis La Lune and Iwrotehaikus, if anyone knows music on that level lmk.

skramz and midwest emo are not screamo. screamo is a misnomer created by boomers.
