Screamo is evil. I have known this all along, and now I have proof! It not only sounds terrible it IS terrible, at least it is if you are going on Platonic Philosophical reasoning.

It is a core belief in Platonic Philosophy that the most important step you can take to educate yourself and attune yourself to The Good is to listen to Good music. In the Platonic way of thinking, music is the embodiment of The Good. The Good is all the pieces of your inner being, your relationships within yourself, with your spouse, family, neighbors, politics, nature, and all things working together in harmony. So Classical music is the embodiment of The Good which changes our thinking, our emotions, our desires, and this effects our wills. Classical Music is ordered harmony which inspires the hearer to search out true knowledge and understanding. (and this is extended much farther than just pieces like Mozart and Beethoven).

Screamo is not orderly, it is chaos. It is a form of music that does not embody harmony within yourself towards others, nor does it inspire you to find true knowledge. Screamo appeals to base desires which affects your reason which affects your will, and it does this in such a way that it manipulates you against freedom of thought.

Classical music affects your desires, reason, and will simultaneously and guides you into freedom of thought.

So that is my new philosophical reasoning as to why Screamo is evil. I always thought something was actually WRONG with the genre, and now I have an actual argument besides preference. Yay Philosophy!
