lol Screamo is nothing like metal, and both take a certain technique which is not to your liking, but is also not 'crap'. Music is such a funny topic for discussion. It's an area of knowledge that EVERYONE has an opinion about, but most of those opinions aren't based on much though. For example, "not good" most often translates to "I dont like it". What's "good"? Technical? Melodic? Heck, what's melodic? People end up bashing genres because they're "not good", when they really mean "I dont like it."
Not saying you were meaning to do that YoMamma, it's just something I've noticed happens a lot. I'm not offended. :0)
Anyway, have fun with whatever you choose to learn next. Why not write something of your own that pushes your limits?
