1. I don't believe I implied that. But that being said, there are good examples and bad examples of just about every genre of music out there. I have heard some shitty shitty metal in my day, let me tell ya.
2. I'm not a fan of screamo in any way, so I'll take your word for it. My passion is metal, and that's all I'm qualified to speak on.
Anyways, I can definitely see where you're coming from in this argument. Taken on its own, screams do not sound like what most would consider music. Especially in that video you posted because it's just random screaming. I'm sure if you isolate some bass-lines from some music, it would be hard to see the music in that as well. I think metal, much more so than many other genres, is about the whole sound. It's how the vocals, guitars, drums, and any other instrumental arrangements come together to form music. Take one instrument out and isolate it, and it sounds far removed from the whole. I won't directly compare it with classical music, but some parallels can be drawn.
So yeah, it's hard to claim that random growling alone is music, but pull all the pieces together and it gets harder to deny the musicality.
