I think screamo and hardcore/punk go hand in hand. Particularly with bands like Orchid or Pg.99 where in terms of their sound they're right on the dividing line. But more importantly I think that the communities behind both are really strongly linked, in terms of their identification as a DIY community as well as the ethics and mindset behind it. I guess that's the difference between comparing screamo to more straight up hardcore and Black Sabbath to blues. In my experience as part of the DIY hardcore/punk/screamo/whatever community, genre sub divisions don't really seem that important. Anyway, Jeez, why don't you start posting some stuff you're listening to at the moment? It would be nice to have a bit more variety in this thread!
