That's fine with me, I'll listen to what I like and you can listen to what you like ;)

As a Gen Y according to it ranging back to 1981, I do not support this statement lol
I'm just poking fun, I actually tried to find some screamo bands to see if I ever listened to them, but it seems like a lot of people think "screamo" are just metalcore or post-hardcore bands, and even then, I've barely listened to that genre outside of a couple bands, so I'm pretty sure I've listened to no screamo. Mid-2000's, I was listening to older bands doingstuff or I was listening to other bands that had put out stuff in the 2000's like Dragonforce, 3 Inches of Blood, Lamb of God, etc...

If born in 1981, an aspiring musician likely would not have not have bore fruit until at least the late 90s. By that point they'd be in their late teens which is usually when most start their music careers and that sounds about right. I dig a lot of music from the late 90s through the late 2000s and into the 2010s. If you're talking bands that were already performing or peaking in their careers from the 80s and through the 90s, those weren't millennials they were the gen X'ers.
But yeah, a lot of what gets labeled screamo is essentially post-hardcore of some fashion. You have the more avant-garde variety like The Number Twelve Looks Like You, Blood Brothers, Fear Before, Rolo Tomassi.... the pop-infused variety like Pierce the Veil, Senses Fail, Silverstein, and then the more orthodox post-hardcore like Title Fight, Sunny Deal Real Estate, Pianos Become The Teeth, etc. I kinda like all of that sort of stuff. Never could get into the "metalcore", although that scene in itself was freaking HUGE... I've always struggled to get into most things metal, outside of some progressive.
Check out the song Grandfather by The Number Twelve Looks Like You. It's an awesome blend of screamo with some progressive.

As an old fart, enjoy this song from 1970... Give Me Just A Little More Time by the Chairmen of the Board :P

I like it. I actually enjoy a lot of pop music from the 60s and 70s, that was probably the golden age for pop music. It's hard to fathom an era when turning on the radio resulted in hearing pleasant songs.
Today's pop music is like you don't know if it's meant to make you laugh at the absurdity, cry, or cringe on behalf of all humanity.
