Screamo eschewed the toughness associated with hardcore and metalcore and often favored melodic, soaring passages that shared musical DNA with post-rock bands like Mogwai, Sigur Ros, and Explosions in the Sky, but it also had a type of always-on-edge chaos and represented a heavier, harsher alternative to emo bands like Sunny Day Real Estate or "Midwest emo," which often sounded closer to indie rock than to the hardcore bands that emo was built on. Its roots as an established genre can be traced back to the early '90s, when a crop of bands started taking the impassioned, desperate sounds of the "emocore" bands of DC's Revolution Summer in directions that were even more intense and abrasive. Like both post-hardcore and metalcore, screamo emerged out of hardcore, and - as its name implies - emo. I recently did lists on classic albums within 2000s post-hardcore and '90s metalcore, and here's a list of classic albums from another subgenre that frequently crosses paths with both of the aforementioned subgenres: screamo.
