For me, the answer is a giant NO, but I just wanted to know everyone elses opinion.

I have no problem with either one, and I have no idea why so many people have such a big issue with them - don't like it, don't listen to it. *shrug* That's all there is to it, really.

There can be a very little amount in a song without hurting it, but that's it.

By The Way is a great song and there are the rap verses. But the song is amazing. However, I hate fully rap songs and all mainstream rap.
And screamo's pretty good, if the singer/screamer is good, I just prefer my Screamo with some singing, too.
However, I'd take hardcore punk yelling over screamo screams anyday.

Screamo! Screamo!

I'd have to say no to both.

well, that or folk, bluegrass, medeval or Irish.

I love screamo! =D It's one of my fave genres ^^
I don't really like rap, though - except for 'Bad Rep' by Dark Lotus. Now THAT is an awesome song - and it's rap ^^

depends on the song. some songs do it and it sounds good, some songs it sounds terrible.

it really comes down to wether the artist can pull it off well or not.

Well, um, I listen to Rage Against the Machine and reaaaally old Billy Talent stuff. They have some rapping vocals, so it doesn't actually bother me that much like it used to. XD

Screamo is also fine with me... especially if that screamer is Benjamin Kowalewicz. :D

I HATE rap. O_o. Which is bad, since most of my friends love it. xD (they know not to play it around me tho) I like some scremo thoo :P

Oh, and I'm in my computer class right now! ^_^

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE RULES!!!!! =D
Rap is usually all right, but sometimes it's just stupid. It kind of depends. XP
I haven't heard a lot of screamo so I can't really say much about that.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! WOOLY MAMMOTH!

And fly to your dreams...

I LOVE screamo, but I hate most rap. But I like light rap that doesn't promote certain controversal subjects.

It's a necessary evil.
-Angela Petrelli

No, for the most part. Sometimes rap has merit in that it has a neat flow, but the style is usually just abused. Screamo is just... weird.

I voted Woolly Mammoth. I like a few rap songs, but not most. And I just don't know what screamo is, sorry, but it doesn't sound good to me. Do people really, like, scream or something?

Sheila: Yah, people do actually scream. Sometimes it sounds really good...I've actually tried, lol. But as I've said before, I prefer hardcore/punk yelling and I'm much better at it.

Punk yelling. That sounds funny...XP

Holy foo, Sheila got eaten by a wooly mammoth! *panics* (Jk)

You're lucky you've never heard of screamo, Sheila x.x'

I do not like rap. or screamo

James 1: 5: if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God. who giveth to all man liberlly and unbraidith not and it shall be givin him.

The only yes. lol

So do screamo artists have short careers, then, when their vocal chords give out? LOL
