I'm 35 years old, from England. I changed my Instagram bio to "What ever happened to real screamo? #currentlynostalgic", the algorithm must have taken note because my KZbin started recommending me live Catalyst shows, the camera quality I thought I was watching something from 2004 and now I've watched them, it's recommending me everything else, I assume from this modern California scene. Thus, it's International and I'm glad people are still creating this kind of music. It died over night, it seems like a decade or more ago. Bands like: Orchid, Ampere, Palatka, Louise Cyphre, Danse Macabre, Zann, Daitro, June Paik, La Quiete, Catena Collapse etc. I can tell from these videos that if I went to one of these shows, I'd be considered a weird old bloke, what's that fucking grandfather doing in the corner? PS everyone hated me when I signed up to Collective-Zine forum when I was 15, that was 20 years ago. Who cares where you found it, or how much people say "lit" or "dope" these days, it's how younger people talk. Glad I found it, Cheers. This comment was so much longer than I expected.

Catalyst are actually a east coast band from new england specifically Rhode Island, the east coast scene especially Rhode Island/Western Mass have some great bands coming out too not just socal

[@downsidecroxxesss]

same 😭😭 i get so jealous seeing the diversity of scenes n shit in the us bro i5s so sad

[@kidamnesiac6823]

Don’t get me wrong they’re amazing! I just don’t understand the band breaking up when they’re literally selling out shows and have a fan base by now and can fill up wherever they play. Most bands are dying and wishing for that. Idk but whatever they do in the future I hope they will still have the support from the fans!

[@artistsrenderingofme]

because they're getting big, bands in a scene like this dont get big and when they do they break up.

sick ass username dawg . wish i cud have it

[@nnonestt]

Agreed. I've listened to a lot of Gen Z bands who claim to do Screamo (skramz). To be honest, the music has nothing to do with Skramz. It is not even clear what kind of music they make. Gen Z has completely changed this genre.

[@daskrunkly3213]

@@nnonesttnot really lol you’re just listening to the completely wrong bands . Check out Let’s Make Nothing Happen, Frail Body, Votive, Edith Pike, Geronimostilton, mis sueños son de tu adiós, xheartworksx, Ostraca, One Way Mirror, Bulletsbetweentongues, Sinema etc… hope this helps

gatekeepers kill subcultures nurture new fans and get them up to speed

[@natvrgal]

embrace new people. I only found skramz like a year ago through seeing bands in the scene and now I love it. Ive met great people and found great music through this. Gatekeeping to any standard prevents growth and the forging of community
