В началото на 90-те, ако става въпрос за понятието скриймо, то трябва да бъде свързано с бандите от западното крайбрежие, които са издавани от DIY лейбъла Gravity Records (http://www.gravityrec.com/) от Сан Диего. Такива групи са Mohinder, Angel Hair, Heroin, Second Story Window, Reach Out и хардкор групи, които също имат в песните си конструкциите на изброените емо банди, но са много по-бързи и по-тежки (faster, louder, harder), такива прото-скриймо групи са Honeywell, Bread and Circuits, Antioch Arrow, ранните Portraits of Past, Swing Kids, Iconoclast, Palatka и др. Повечето от тези групи се свързват с политическия DIY хардкор/пънк лейбъл Ebullition Records (http://ebullition.com/), дело на Кент Маклард, който също списва и зина HeartattaCk. Освен изброените емо-хардкор/прото-скриймо групи, Ebullition издава и някои от политическите веган стрейт едж групи от средата на 90-те, които използват мелодиите и музикалните конструкции на емо групите преди тях, такива са хардкор групи като Downcast, Struggle, Unbroken, Instil, Framework, Gatekeeper, Groundwork, Threadbare, ранните Converge и др., а групи като Los Crudos вдъхновяват скриймо бандите от края на 90-те да свирят колкото се може по-бързо и да правят кратки песни.

По същото време термина емо се използва и от друг тип групи, които нямат общо с полиическия хардкор и веган стрейт едж сцената, които се олицетворяват от Ebullition/HeartattaCk и вместо по-бързи, по-тежки и по-хаотични хардкор песни правят по-бавни, по-мелодични, по-индирок песни, такива групи са Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is the Reason, Boys Life, Mineral, The Promise Ring, Cap'n Jazz, Jets to Brazil и др., те имат преки влияния от хардкора, но отиват по-близко до инди-рок сцената и нямат социално-политическа ангажираност.

Понятието "скриймо" както го познаваме сега е първоначално и най-акуратно свързвано с ню-йоркската банда Saetia през 1997 година. Става въпрос за групи от източното крайбрежие, които са формирани от хардкор хлапета в колежите, които искат да провокират критично мислене в хардкора и да изразят собствената си агресия и идеи чрез силата на музиката. След като Earth Crisis стават известни и политизираната веган едж сцена е в пика си през 95/96, на много хлапета от тази сцена им писва от типичния метълски звук и искат да направят нещо по-интересно. Около 1997-98 групи като Saetia, You and I, Neil Perry, Usurp Synapse, Jerome's Dream, Orchid, Portrait започват да взривяват със своята музика мазета и други малки местенца, където могат да се съберат няколко човека публика. Предимно това са отегчени от първата вълна на метълкора, тъф-гай, youth crew revival и пози-хардкор групите по това време и създават изцяло нов стил хардкор музика, чрез който да комбинират социалното самосъзнание и идеи на политическия пънк с емоционалния и личен емо хардкор. Вместо да захвърлят социалните и политически идеи като анархизма и правата на животните от хардкор и пънк сцена, както правят инди-емо групите като Sunny Day Real Estate или Texas Is the Reason, модерните скриймо банди след 1997 дори ги разширяват и избягват от скучното звучене на техните предшественици, издигат DIY идеалите в още по-голям култ и остават силно социално, политически и емоционално заинтересовани.

През 2001 и 2002 повечето от тези групи се разпадат, защото завършват колежа. Но хората продължават да сформират нови проекти и да остават верни на личните, социални, политически, емоционални експресии в хардкора. Hot Cross се сформира от членове на You and I и Saetia. The Assistant от членове на You and I и политическата веган схе група Instil. Bucket Full of Teeth, The Wolves, Transistor Transistor и Ampere с хората от Orchid. Malady с хората от Pg.99 и City of Caterpillar. Някои от тези групи, например Ampere и Bucket Full of Teeth свирят т.нар. emo-violence, кратки, бързи и хаотични песни, повлияни от грайндкора, фасткора и пауър-вайлънса. Други като City of Caterpillar започват да смесват скриймо с пост-рок и да правят дълги "епични" композиции. Други пък, като Funeral Diner и The Saddest Landscape, се връщат към корените - типичния емокор за началото и средата на 90-те. А други като Union of Uranus смесват скриймо звученето с мрачните текстове и мелодии на групи като Rorschach, His Hero Is Gone и Tragedy. Има и в началото ъндърграунд групи, повлияни от скриймо бандите, които по-късно стават популярни, такива са Circle Takes the Square, I Would Set Myself on Fire for You, Since By Man, The Locust, те не са скриймо, но имат доста влияния от него. Всички групи и неща, изброени до тук се отнасят само до американската сцена, където се заражда всичко това, но веднага се разпространява по целия свят и първите скриймо банди в Европа се появяват почти паралелно с Щатите.

Популярни групи като Finch, Thrice, From Autumn to Ashes, Poison the Well, и особено Thursday са завършени музиканти, които имат талант. Но те не са скриймо и мястото на скриймото е в пънк ъндърграунда. Със сигурност в тийнейджърските си години членовете на тези банди са били свързани по някакъв начин с "ъндърграунд революциите" и имат представа какво е пънк, хардкор, емо, скриймо, със сигурност имат в домовете си доста плочи на такива банди, но самите те нямат никакви претенции да си слагат такива етикети. Thursday са от Ню Брънзуик и в началото на кариерата си са свирили по мазета с You and I и Saetia. Които отбелязват като вдъхновения. Но това не ги прави скриймо група. Finch, Thrice или Poison the Well също имат корени в DIY сцената, но това също не ги прави скриймо групи. Atreyu, Alexisonfire, Alesana и други също не са скриймо. Скриймо не е комерсиален жанр или мода, не е метълкор или нео-метъл, а абсолютно ъндърграунд течение в "направи си сам" хардкор/пънк сцената. Тези банди са създали нов жанр в хардкора като са хванали точно определения подходящ момент. Направили са го за момента, защото са чувствали нуждата да направят точно това. Не са го направили, за да се нарича емо или скриймо, а са го направили за себе си. Да изразят своите лични, социални, политически, музикантски и емоционални чувства и идеи. Комерсиално скриймо или такова, което е предназначено за масово слушане, или което следва определена мода и стил на обличане би трябвало да е оксиморон.

Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?
I am pretty sure it was This Could Be Love.

What is your favourite album of 2?
As The Eternal Cowboy.

What is your favourite lyric that 5 has sung?
I can't pick just one … Blake Schwarzenbach is a fucking brilliant lyricist. I especially like the words to Sea Anemone and I Typed For Miles.

How many times have you seen 4 live?
None yet! They're coming in April, though, and I will definitely be there.

What is your favourite song by 7?
Sometimes Motion.

What is a good memory you have involving the music of 10?
Everyone singing along to Wagon Wheel when he played an acoustic set on the Revival Tour with Chuck Ragan and Tim Barry.

Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
There's a few, but bascilica especially.

What is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
The last lines of Reinventing Axl Rose: "Let's make everybody sing / That they are the beginning and ending of everything / And we are stronger / Than everything they taught us to fear."

What is your favorite song by 9?
Rum To Whiskey.

How did you get into 3?
I was maybe fourteen, and I thought my best friend's older brother was really hot and cool so I raided his CD collection and made a copy of "Dear You" because I knew Jawbreaker was supposed to give you, like, indie cred haha.

What was the first song you heard by 1?
I think it was Trusty Chords. Also something I borrowed from the above friend's older brother.

What is your favourite song by 4?
Great Expectations, Say I Won't (recognize) or We're Getting a Divorce, You Keep the Diner, just because of the Bob Dylan reference in the last minute of the song.

How many time have you seen 9 live?
None, but they finally are doing a West Coast reunion tour and I'm seeing them on Sunday!

What is a good memory you have involving 2?
I can't think of one in particular, but I know I've had good times with their music as a soundtrack.

Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad?
Not really, Chuck Ragan usually puts me in a good mood.

What is your favourite album of 5?
Orange Rhyming Dictionary.

What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
Once again, I can't pick just one because Blake Schwarzenbach is incredibly with words. And unlike with Jets to Brazil, I don't even have a few favorites. They are all amazing.

What is your favourite song of 1?
Wayfarer.

What is your favourite song of 10?
His cover of Wagon Wheel.

How many times have you seen 8 live?
Once and it was amazing.

What is your favourite album of 1?
Caution.

What is a great memory you have considering 9?
I can't think of any …

What was the first song you heard by 8?
The Boat.

What is your favorite cover by 2?
I can't think of any covers that they've done.

Exactly the same deal as last time.
