search this message board for a thread entitled "screamo" or something along those lines...

I'm pretty sure the person that mentioned screamo wasn't talking about metal music. Screamo is a subgenre of punk music where the vocalists "screams" throughout the song. Thus the name screamo. True metal singing can get very intense, of course there are some artists who can barely sing.
