Screamo?
Have you heard of screamo? Yesterday I was talking to this guy who’s apparently into heavy metal. I got to know him when I parked my car next to his, and his stereo was blaring what sounded like Cromok. He seemed an amiable sort of fellow so I aired my suspicions with him. No, he said, it’s Burgerkid, and it’s Indonesian. I tried googling it, after a few minutes I stumbled upon Burgerkill. I had misheard.
So I bumped into him again and got into a longer conversation about the metal scene in Malaysia. It’s not the season, he said. Malaysia is now more into indie. Anyway, in terms of metal, kids now are enthralled with screamo. I theorized that it was screaming + emo.
Then I mentioned Ride the Lightning and Kill ‘Em All to test whether we were talking about the same sort of genre. He didn’t have a clue!
Kids nowadays, they have no idea what it’s all about.
