Sailor Moon musicals

The Sailor Moon musicals (セーラームーン・ミュージカル), commonly referred to as Sera Myu (セラミュー), are a series of live theatre productions based on the Sailor Moon manga by Naoko Takeuchi. The series consists of 40 musicals which have had more than 800 performances since the show opened in the summer of 1993. The first set of musicals, which ran from 1993 to 2005, were produced by Bandai with over 500 performances. The current musicals have been produced by Nelke Planning (a subsidiary of Dwango) since 2013.

History
Each musical typically runs for three engagements per year, timed to align with school holidays in the winter, spring, and summer. Musicals were historically staged at the Sunshine Theatre in Ikebukuro, Tokyo in the winter and spring, and tour Japan in the summer.

After The New Legend of Kaguya Island (Revised Edition) (新・かぐや島伝説 <改訂版>) was staged in January 2005, the actresses for Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter "graduated" (left the show), and the series went on hiatus.

In June 2013, Takeuchi's editor Fumio Osano announced that a new Sailor Moon musical, La Reconquista, would open in September 2013, with Takeuchi personally auditioning actresses for the cast. The cast featured Satomi Ōkubo as Sailor Moon, Miyabi Matsuura as Sailor Mercury, Kanon Nanaki as Sailor Mars, Yū Takahashi as Sailor Jupiter, Shiori Sakata as Sailor Venus, and Yūga Yamato as Tuxedo Mask, making La Reconquista the first Sailor Moon musical where all roles were played by women. The musical recounts the battles between the Sailor Soldiers and the Dark Kingdom over the search for the Silver Crystal. The musical was produced, directed and written by Takuya Hiramitsu, who directed SeraMyu from 1995 to 1998, with music by Toshihiko Sahashi. The musical ran from September 13 to 23 at the AiiA Theater Tokyo in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Petite Étrangère, a musical based on Sailor Moon R, ran at AiiA Theater Tokyo from August 21 to August 31, 2014, and at Osaka from September 5 to September 7. A version of Petite Étrangère was staged in Shanghai, China, in January 2015 at the Shanghai Theatre Academy Theatre for a run of five performances, making Petite Étrangère the first official Japanese production of a Sailor Moon musical to open outside Japan.

The series made its North America debut in 2019 with Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon - The Super Live, which was staged as a limited engagement on March 29 and 30 at the PlayStation Theater in New York City. The musical also played at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., on March 24.

Recurring elements
The musicals typically feature a theme song, usually performed after the Sailor Soldiers defeat the antagonist; sight gags (such as cross-dressing and puns); and songs tailored for characters or groupings of characters, such as romantic songs between Usagi Tsukino and Mamoru Chiba, attack songs for the Sailor Soldiers, songs the Sailor Soldiers perform as civilians, and villain songs.

"Revised Versions" (known as Kaiteiban) are another major aspect of Sailor Moon musicals. Generally, new musicals are staged in the summer are revised for the winter. The overarching plot remains the same, but certain plot elements are rearranged: villains who were only partially defeated in the original version of the show are fully defeated or healed, and actresses who are "graduating" are given more solo parts or speaking lines.

Often, the musicals expand upon plot concepts presented in the anime and manga. Most notably, a romance between the four Sailor Soldiers and the Four Kings of Heaven in their former lives was adapted from a manga image picturing the two groups paired off as romantic couples. In addition to adapting material from anime and manga versions of Sailor Moon, the musical series also has two original plot lines: The Legend of Kaguya Island (Kaguya Shima Densetsu) and the Last Dracul series.

Most shows end with an extended curtain call and encore, during which a number of songs are performed. Popular songs from the anime series such as "Moonlight Densetsu" and "La Soldier", which would not make narrative sense in the plot of the musical, are frequently performed as fan service. Special fan appreciation shows referred to as FanKan (deriving from "fan thank you") are used as season finales, where multiple fan service numbers are performed and new actresses are introduced.

The musicals have introduced new characters to the series, often as new members of existing groups of villains, such as Spotted Tilmun, Aaron and Manna from the Black Moon Clan, the Death Mannetjes and the Death Nightmares from the Death Busters, and Sailors Pewter Fox, Titanium Kerokko, Theta, and Buttress from Shadow Galactica. The musicals have also created original characters that have never appeared in any other version of the series, such as Sailor Astarte, Vulcan, Count Dracul, Bloody Dracul Vampir, Undead Berserk, and Death Lamia, among others.

Production
The sets and backdrops range from simple (only some set pieces, no backdrop or backdrop with uncomplicated paintings) to mid elaborate (a greater number of small set pieces, and some bigger ones, for example, a painted wall over the whole width of the stage with a few attached stairs and a big door), more detailed set pieces, with heavy use of different stage levels, trapdoors and hidden doors. The Sailor Soldiers' attacks are represented by colored lights hitting their targets, and sometimes minor explosions and other small pyrotechnics (for example "flame paper", special paper stripes which the actors ignite in their hands and then throw to create the illusion of a "fireball") are used. The Sailor Soldiers mostly transform off-stage (or just appear already transformed), while their transformation phrases can be heard. Only Usagi transforms on stage. This is done with the help of a body double and the "black out" of part of the stage or set pieces moving in front of her while the actors switch places. The only real "transformation sequence" that ever occurs is a pre-filmed video sequence projected onto a scrim showing the actors "morph" (with some pink ribbons) into their transformed versions.

List of musicals
"Stage" is a term used widely to refer to groupings of the musicals.

Bandai, the producers of the first 12 years of Sailor Moon musical productions, divided their musical productions into three stages. The first stage consisted of those in which Sailor Moon was portrayed by Anza Ohyama, the first and longest running Sailor Moon actress. This stage ran parallel to the manga and anime, as reflected by the plot, and had a nearly full graduation with all of the main actresses being replaced. The second stage included three different Sailor Moon actresses, the only fully original musical (The Legend of Kaguya Island) and the semi-original Last Dracul series, ending with a remake of the original "Final First Stage" musical, Eien Densetsu (titled Kakyuu Ouhi Kourin.) The third stage retained Marina Kuroki as lead actress, but ran for only two musicals (both remakes of The Legend of Kaguya Island), and ended in January 2005.

The series resumed after a hiatus with the 20th Anniversary Stage in 2013, featuring Satomi Ōkubo as the new Sailor Moon. Unlike previous productions, these musicals, now overseen by Nelke Planning, were not categorized into distinct official stages..

Conversely, most Western fans break the stages down by the actresses who played Sailor Moon: Anza Ohyama, Fumina Hara, Miyuki Kanbe, and Marina Kuroki. The list below is divided up according to the official stages used by Sera Myu producers.

Speedy deletion nomination of Penn Counterparts
A tag has been placed on Penn Counterparts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Beverly Hills and LAUSD
The LA County maps shows a small section on Copley Place, on the western edge, being outside of the BHUSD boundaries, and the US Census Bureau seemingly shows a bit of Beverly Hills there in LAUSD (page 11/19). However the LAUSD school finder map can't find Beverly Hills addresses in the system, and the Los Angeles City GIS finder identifies Copley avenue as being in BHUSD.

Indeed Copley Place addresses are seen in the BHUSD school zone system so that area seems to be zoned to Beverly Hills Schools. The LACOE and US Census Bureau maps seem to have an error there. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:49, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

School articles
Contributing articles on schools is never a sure thing, but the chance of acceptance depends a lot on how good the article is. Articles like Kettle Falls Elementary School have the odds stacked against them, because a) they're about elementary schools; even articles about high schools are controversial; and b) they do not provide anything but rudimentary facts that would be obtained easily, and would be more up-to-date, from an ordinary web search, or by consulting a telephone book.

Your first article notes that: "Local-interest articles are articles about places like schools, or streets that are of interest to a relatively small number of people such as alumni or people who live nearby. There is no consensus about such articles, but some will challenge them if they include nothing that shows how the place is special and different from tens of thousands of similar places. Photographs add interest. Try to give local-interest articles local color."

For examples of very good articles about schools that survived VfD, see Moanalua High School and Montgomery Bell Academy.

If you are going to contribute articles about schools, please try to show us, in the articles what's special about these schools. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 17:23, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DAKS

A tag has been placed on DAKS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

Mixed Reality (album)

Mixed Reality is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band Gin Blossoms. It was released on June 15, 2018, on Cleopatra Records.

Recording and release
The band's longtime producer John Hampton died in 2014 and while they toured to promote the 25th anniversary of their most successful album, New Miserable Experience, the band members met Don Dixon at a show in Ohio. They discussed recording together and entered Dixon's recording partner Mitch Easter's studio in October 2016. Vocalist Robin Wilson says that the sessions for the album were "really inspired." The band spent about a year writing songs and doing demos before recording the album. Wilson calls Mixed Reality "sort of a companion" to New Miserable Experience and says, "It feels to me like a record we would have all wanted to make when we were 25."

The band released "Break" as a lead single and followed the release with a tour that was documented on their Chicago date, where they played this album and New Miserable Experience in their entirety.

Non-notable. Former Taliban warlord. Full story here. Four years after his assassination, "Arif Khan" + Peshawar gets only 241 hits. There is a story here, but a non-notable one. SWAdair | Talk 00:42, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Er... neutral, for the moment. I did just want to comment, however, that the most powerful figure in Taliban-controlled northern Afghanistan sounds pretty notable, but I don't know enough about it to help improve this 1 sentence article. func(talk) 01:11, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: List on Requested Articles, as this was a very notable figure whose assassination was the immediate precursor to the 9/11 attacks and whose assassination was probably al Qaeda's payment for Taliban upcoming military support. This, however, is not an article and could be speedy deleted for not even establishing clearly what it is. Geogre 02:36, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Agree with Geogre - if not improved by the end of the VfD period, delete this article and add to List of Requested Articles. The current article is worse than useless, it actively makes Wikipedia look bad in its inadequacy. Average Earthman 12:56, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well, I did a quick rewrite so it's at least a slightly more informative stub. Does it look all right? -FZ 18:02, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. Historically notable and relevant, and currently linked to List_of_Taliban_leaders.  One thing I'm confused about, is whether he's alive or dead.  The list linked above reports that he's "at large" and various western media reports claim he's alive and the US is hunting him down.  I can't help but notice that this wanted man was reported killed in Pakistan on April 5, 2000 by The Times of India, and Reuters on April 24, 2000.  Now, I know the name "Arif Khan" is probably popular in that area, but the Arif Khan that this page refers to was murdered four years ago.  Perhaps both pages should reflect that change.  I've noticed that the media reports tend to say, "fighters loyal to Arif Khan", not Khan himself. --Viriditas 03:13, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Chunking
Barely readable original research, and in a non-encyclopedic style to boot. -Seth Mahoney 23:34, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Incoherent original research.   — Gwalla | Talk 23:56, 26 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Short-term memory until someone writes an actual article on "chunking," which is a generally recognized term in cognitive psychology. The word chunking was originated in a famous paper, Miller, G. A. (1956), The magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information Psychological Review, 63, 81-97. See Short-term memory which now unfortunately links to this article. Miller noted that the capacity of short-term memory, in a number of contexts, seemed to be around seven, "plus or minus two." That is, most people can remember a seven-digit telephone number, but not a sixteen-digit credit-card number. Aha! Found the full article online at http://cogprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/archive/00000730/00/miller.html . Miller noted that "Since the memory span is a fixed number of chunks, we can increase the number of bits of information that it contains simply by building larger and larger chunks, each chunk containing more information than before." No time to do anything about this now... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 01:23, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Fantastic. I change my vote to redirect. -Seth Mahoney 02:35, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, I see that although his paper is very much concerned with the concept of a chunk, and its distinction from information-theoretic entities, he never uses the world chunking, but consistently uses the word recoding instead. That's just a comment. I may take a whack at rewriting this myself if nobody beats me to it. As I thought, and as Google confirms, the word "chunking" sensu Miller is in very wide use now, and often in the context of a memorization or mnemonic strategy. Miller's work is often casually applied and misapplied in the context of presentation design, e.g. people advocating the use of uncluttered web pages invoke "seven plus-or-minus two" to suggest that a page shouldn't have more than seven thingies on it... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 12:47, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, if we need disambiguation we might as well also throw in Chun King food products. I love the description on ConAgra]'s website: "Chun King's bi-pack complete meals have been a fixture of the Chinese shelf-stable market for many years." Yes sir, folks, when you think of Chinese shelf-stable bi-pack complete meals, think of the first name in Chinese shelf-stable bi-pack complete meals: Chun King! Still true to the authentic tradition of Jeno Paulucci of Cambridge, Massachusetts!... [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 23:14, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Detroit Country Day School

Detroit Country Day School (also known as DCD, DCDS, or Country Day) is a private, secular school located in three campuses in Oakland County, in the U.S. state of Michigan, north of Detroit. The administrative offices, facility services, safety and security services, and the upper school (Grades 9-12) are situated in a campus in Beverly Hills. The middle school (Grades 4-8) is also located in Beverly Hills, seamlessly connected to the upper school. Additionally, the Lower School (PK-3) is situated in Bloomfield Township, near Bloomfield Hills. These campuses collectively provide a comprehensive educational experience.

DCDS was founded in Detroit in 1914 by Alden Shaw inspired by the Country Day School movement. The school's motto is Mens Sana in Corpore Sano, a Latin phrase meaning "Sound Mind in a Sound Body". The school colors are blue and gold.

History
Founder, F. Alden Shaw was born to Charles Joseph Shaw and Elizabeth Gahring Shaw in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota on December 20, 1885. Mr. Shaw graduated from the prestigious Boston Latin School in 1905 and Harvard College in 1909. He moved to Paris, France and enrolled in L'Ecole des Hautes Etudes, and began raising funds and recruiting students to begin his dream of founding a private school for boys. He soon realized that circumstances in Paris made founding a school an unreasonably daunting task; he decided to return to the United States. On the ship back to America, Mr. Shaw recalls an acquaintance raving about the wondrous opportunities in the blossoming American city of Detroit, Michigan and decided to build a school there.

In the spring of 1914, F. Alden Shaw, under the name Detroit Preparatory School, submitted the following advertisement to the local paper:

"Mr. F. Alden Shaw, A.B. (Harvard 1909), announces that September next, he will open a small school for boys. Having had experience as a teacher in Boston, and as a private tutor in the families of Mr. George Lee of Boston, and Mr. Edwin D. Morgan of New York, he comes to Detroit, where there would seem to be a larger field for him. Referring by permission to Reverend Eugene Rodman Shippin, Mr. D. Stearns of Fredrick Stearns and Company and to Mr. Charles Moore, Security Trust Company, Detroit, Michigan. (For appointments address F. A. Shaw, Care Y.M.C.A., Detroit, Michigan.)"

Academics
The Detroit Country Day Upper School offers a strong and varied program that provides numerous opportunities for students to demonstrate their individual strengths and develop their potential. The rigorous college-preparatory program, which includes Honors and Advanced Placement courses in each discipline in addition to a diverse selection of electives, prepares students for the college and university setting. In addition to a series of honors and Advanced Placement courses, students at Detroit Country Day Upper School may pursue an International Baccalaureate Diploma. Most graduating classes consist of 140 to 180 students, 100% of which are accepted at accredited four-year colleges and universities. From the start of Freshman year, Upper School students participate yearly in standardized testing, beginning with the PLAN in 9th grade to the PSAT in 10th and 11th grade to finally, the ACT and/or SAT during the 11th and 12th grade. The College Counseling Office hosts yearly College Night for every grade to keep students and parents informed about the college application process. Every year, numerous Country Day students achieve National Merit Semi-finalist and Finalist status.

Athletics
Extracurricular activities are required at DCDS. Under the "points system", these requirements are tracked by the accumulation of blue points (athletics), gold points (clubs) and white points (service).

In March 2004 the Michigan High School Athletic Association recommended that DCDS voluntarily forfeit three state basketball championships won between 1989 and 1991, claiming that former DCDS star Chris Webber had violated his amateur status via his relationship with University of Michigan athletic booster Ed Martin. DCDS declined to follow the MHSAA's suggestion.

Arts
Detroit Country Day School offers an active fine and performing arts program, celebrated every April through "Celebrate the Arts" weekend at the Upper School campus. Students may also enroll in the Conservatory Program, focusing on study of an artistic discipline with the options of dance, filmmaking, fine arts, music and theatre.

 * Delete. Another list the looks like it intends to be complete, but won't ever be. Any current high school articles within Wikipedia should be so categorized, which creates an automatic list of articles within Wikipedia about high schools, a list automatically maintained. If, in the far future, Wikipedia becomes granular enough that all high school articles are kept, then the category list will update itself accordingly. So what is the purpose of this one. Change it to a list of "notable" schools, whether there is an article or not? Who decides which ones are notable? Might change my vote to Keep if some clear criteria appeared within the article as to exactly what schools should be listed or if there are clear sources which can be consulted to update a complete list.

 * Keep. An effective way to develop a corpus of thousands of entries - and there are thousands of interesting schools, as there are movies, books, comic series, songs, etc - is to have nested lists, with a top-level list that splits off and links to sublists when they reach a critical mass.  Having a "global list of schools" with a separate page for each country with over 40 or 50 schools (and, within the US, a separate page for each state of that type), is useful.  This list leaves room for a few words about each list entry, one of the many ways categories aren't up to the task. +sj +  12:52, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The ABC Sunday Night Movie

The ABC Sunday Night Movie is a television program that aired on Sunday nights, first for a brief time in 1962 under the title Hollywood Special (although Time magazine lists this version as The Sunday Night Movie) to supposedly replace an open time slot for the TV show Bus Stop, which was cancelled after March 1962. It then began airing regularly under its more commonly known title from late 1964 to 1998, on ABC. Since 2004, it has aired sporadically as a special program, now titled the ABC Sunday Movie of the Week, though as of the 2011-12 television season, the only films in this timeslot were aired under the Hallmark Hall of Fame banner, which transferred to ABC in that season. However, in 2014, The Hallmark Hall of Fame moved exclusively to cable on the Hallmark Channel. As a result of this, the Sunday Night Movie is now exclusively relegated to two special holiday movies, The Sound of Music every holiday season and The Ten Commandments every Easter.

The ABC Sunday Night Movie was replaced in 1998 with The Wonderful World of Disney although the Sunday Night Movie initially continued to air alongside TWWOD for its final season.

History
Encouraged by the ratings success on NBC's Saturday Night at the Movies, ABC initially purchased 15 United Artists films released in the late 1950s for its April 1962 premiere. United Artists Television also provided some short featurettes promoting upcoming United Artists cinema releases to fill out some films that ended before the two hour time slot finished.

Edits for television
The program presented theatrical feature films airing on TV for the first time. The feature films were edited for content, to remove objectionable material, and for time - one such instance was the first network telecast in 1962 of John Huston's 1956 film Moby Dick, a Warner Bros. film which runs 117 minutes uncut, and yet was shown in a two-hour time slot with commercials. In many cases, however, the broadcast was expanded from two to two-and-a-half hours to fit a film's longer running time, as in the two 1966 network telecasts of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel (a 1956 film not to be confused with the 1967 videotaped television adaptation of the musical, also broadcast by ABC). The first major network showing of Superman in 1982 was broadcast in two parts with previously unused footage. Extra footage was also added to the ABC broadcast of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1983, Superman II in 1984 and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in 1985.

Because the concept of letterboxing films for television had not been introduced yet, the films shown were also pan-and-scanned so the image would fit the standard 4:3 television screen.

James Bond franchise
In 1972, ABC bought the broadcasting rights to the James Bond franchise (also by United Artists). The first film broadcast was Goldfinger. Unlike the British broadcasts of the James Bond films, the franchise was not presented in production order.

ABC made edits to the Bond films for violence, sexual content, and so that the films would fit in the time allotted, but perhaps the most controversial of these was the re-edit of the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service broadcast on the ABC Monday Night Movie. Broadcast on February 16 and February 23, 1976, the edit involved the film being split into two for a two-night broadcast while including a voiceover (primarily for the first showing) meant to sound like George Lazenby that starts with the ski chase scene before including flashbacks to prior scenes. A subsequent re-airing of the film years later showed it in a three-hour time slot with no edits.

ABC held the rights to the James Bond films until 1990, when The Living Daylights was the final film aired prior to Turner Broadcasting buying the TV rights to the franchise. The Bond films have also aired on several cable channels not owned by Turner. ABC broadcast the films again as a promotional tie-in when Die Another Day was in theaters in 2002, dubbed as The Bond Picture Show on Saturday nights.

ABC Sunday Movie Special
Occasionally, The ABC Sunday Night Movie would telecast what they termed an ABC Sunday Movie Special when a film presentation was over three hours or overflowed prime time. When the movie in question was a family film, the telecasts would begin at an earlier hour, so that the film would end at around 11:00 p.m, enabling younger viewers to watch without having to stay up too late. The Movie Specials invariably consisted of blockbusters, such as The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Robe, Oliver!, and The Ten Commandments. The last-named film continues its television career on ABC today, having become, like The Wizard of Oz, an annual television tradition. It is usually shown during the Palm Sunday or Easter weekend (The Robe, which made its TV debut in 1968, had been shown on Easter weekends by ABC prior to being sold to local television stations). The telecast of Patton, which took place in 1972 at 9 P.M. E.S.T., was remarkably mature, in that very little of the film's profanity was cut for television.

ABC would occasionally telecast Movie Specials on other days of the week as well, among them Fiddler on the Roof, and Godspell (which was shown on network television as a Thanksgiving season special in 1974).

Method of presenting films throughout the 1960s
Beginning in 1965, The ABC Sunday Night Movie used a rather unusual method of presenting the films that movie series on other networks did not use. Except on rare occasions, such as the aforementioned Movie Specials, or films which already had a pre-credits sequence that led directly into the main title and so could not be altered, the opening credits of the particular film in question generally would not be shown until after the movie had ended. Instead, a teaser from the film was shown, whereupon an offscreen announcer (e.g. Joel Crager) would say the name of the film and its stars, and then the credit The ABC Sunday Night Movie would appear. A commercial would then follow, and when the program started up again, one would see the screenwriter and the director's names respectively - superimposed over the film's opening scene in credits manufactured by ABC. At film's end, another commercial would follow, after which, somewhat anti-climactically, the movie's actual opening credits, together with the studio logo, would then be presented exactly as they were originally made, as if the film were starting up again.

The ABC Sunday Night Movie was also famous in the mid 1970s for its theme music and brightly colored marquee. The opening has been parodied on the G4 network under the title Movies That Don't Suck.

Other nights and methods of presentation
From 1968 to 1970, ABC ran a concurrent movie series on Wednesday nights, under the title The ABC Wednesday Night Movie.

A Tuesday night ABC Movie of the Week featuring only made-for-TV movies was added in 1969. The series was renamed Tuesday Movie of the Week and a Wednesday night Wednesday Movie of the Week, also presenting only made-for-TV films, was added in 1972. Both series continued until 1975.

From 1975 to 1983 (and again, briefly, in 1999) ABC ran a concurrent movie series on Friday nights, under the title The ABC Friday Night Movie.

Other concurrent movie series during that time also aired on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

During the 1980s, films with more mature and politically charged themes, such as The Day After and Consenting Adult (homosexuality) aired under the ABC Theater banner.

Beginning in 1999, a Saturday night variant on the formula began, and has been somewhat of a ratings favorite. However, and more importantly nowadays, the ratings have varied from week to week. Since 1999, The ABC Saturday Night Movie has alternated with random repeats, The Wonderful World of Disney (up until 2008), and Saturday Night Football, which runs from the first Saturday in September, up into the first of December. Movies also alternate on various other nights of the week, for sweeps and also as holiday-based programming, such as the annual pre-Easter telecast of The Ten Commandments.

Announcers
For many years, until the early 1980s, the announcer for all of ABC's movie shows was network staff announcer Joel Crager. Afterwards, the duties would be handled first by Ernie Anderson, and then others, including Gary Owens (with the announcer depending on the film's tone; Owens would do so for comedies).

Decline due to the advent of cable networks
The advent of such cable television networks as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime and The Movie Channel (all of which broadcast theatrical films on cable before they appear on commercial television), along with the emergence of various home video formats, led to the decline of theatrical films regularly airing on commercial network TV. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, print ads for The ABC Sunday Night Movie regularly played up the quality of the film being offered to viewers at no cost ("Another Great Film Not On Pay TV"). Whereas one used to be able to see a relatively recent theatrical film on prime time commercial network television every night of the week, this is now done only occasionally (or, in the case of ABC's Saturday Movie of the Week, only when the network has no other sports commitments, usually confined to holiday weekends). Only cable networks exclusively devoted to films, such as AMC or Turner Classic Movies, show theatrical films in prime time every night; the big three networks, including the newer Fox network no longer follow this practice, except perhaps on holidays. The grand opening sequences of the past are now usually eschewed by merely mentioning the airing title in an 'up next' sequence, or a direct cut to a disclaimer noting the film has been edited and presented for a broadcast television presentation with the assumption viewers have already viewed the basic electronic program guide information for the film.

Bracciano

Bracciano is a small town in the Italian region of Lazio, 30 km northwest of Rome. The town is famous for its volcanic lake (Lago di Bracciano or "Sabatino", the eighth largest lake in Italy) and for a particularly well-preserved medieval castle Castello Orsini-Odescalchi. The lake is widely used for sailing and is popular with tourists; the castle has hosted a number of events, especially weddings of actors and singers.

The town is served by an urban railway (Line FR3) which connects it with Rome (stations of Ostiense and Valle Aurelia) in about 55 minutes. Close to it lie the two medieval towns of Anguillara Sabazia and Trevignano Romano.

Geography
Bracciano's territory lies on the western edge of the Sabatine Hills, a low volcanic hills range encircling Lake Bracciano.

History
There is no certain information about the origins of Bracciano, on the Via Cassia overlooking the lake. It probably rose from one of the numerous towers built in the tenth century as a defence against the Saracen attacks, as implied by the ancient name of Castrum Brachiani. In the eleventh century the neighbouring territory was acquired by the Prefetti di Vico family, who turned the tower into a castle. Ferdinand Gregorovius dated the possession of Bracciano by the Orsini to 1234. The area was later acquired by the Roman hospital of Santo Spirito in Sassia and, from 1375, was a Papal possession.

In 1419 the Colonna Pope Martin V confirmed the fief of Bracciano in the Orsini family branch of Tagliacozzo. Under this powerful family the city developed into a flourishing town, famous in the whole of Italy for its castle, which was enlarged, starting from 1470, by Napoleone Orsini and his son Virginio. In 1481 it housed Pope Sixtus IV, who had fled from the plague in Rome; the Sala Papalina in one of the corner towers commemorates the event. Four years later, however, the city and the castle were ravaged by Papal troops under Prospero Colonna, and subsequently a new line of walls was built.

In 1494 Charles VIII of France and his troops marching against Rome stopped at Bracciano. This act led to the excommunication of the Orsini, and in 1496 the city was besieged by a papal army headed by Giovanni di Candia, son of Pope Alexander VI Borgia, though it resisted successfully. Cesare Borgia, another of Alexander's natural sons, was unsuccessful in his attempt to take the Orsini stronghold a few years later. The sixteenth century was a period of splendour for Bracciano. The notorious spendthrift and libertine Paolo Giordano I Orsini, having married in 1558 Isabella de' Medici, daughter of Cosimo I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, received the title of duke of Bracciano in 1560. The castello received some modernization for the brief visit of the Medici that year. He hired the most prestigious painter available in Rome, Taddeo Zuccaro, to fresco with allegories and coats-of-arms the fortress's most prestigious room, the Sala Papalinia that had been occupied by Sixtus IV. Isabella spent the remainder of her life avoiding a return to the castle, which a modern tourist tradition would have her haunting.

The economy was boosted by the exploitation of sulphur and iron, the production of tapestries and paper. The latter was favoured by the construction of an aqueduct whose ruins can still be seen in the city. Bracciano in this period had some 4,500 inhabitants.

However, the expensive tenor of life of the Orsini eventually damaged the economic conditions of the city. The last great ruler was probably Paolo Giordano II, a patron of arts and literature who made Bracciano a center of culture in Italy. The decline culminated in 1696 when  the castle was sold to Livio Odescalchi, nephew of Pope Innocent XI; the Odescalchi family still retain the castle.

In the castle, richly frescoed friezes and ceilings now contrast with blank walls, which were hung with richly coloured tapestries when the lords of Bracciano were in residence. The important late-15th century frieze showing the labours of Hercules is still visible.

The main economic activities are tourism, services and agriculture. Until the twentieth century the region was notoriously unhealthy for its malaria, now eradicated; as a result, none of the fine villas were built at the water's edge, but all stood on healthier rises of ground.

Main sights
The main monument of Bracciano is its castle, Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, one of the most noteworthy examples of Renaissance military architecture in Italy.

3 km outside the city, alongside the road leading to Trevignano Romano, is the ancient church of San Liberato (ninth century). It occupies what was once the Roman settlement of Forum Clodii, now surrounded by an herb garden, part of the complex of English-style gardens at the adjoining Villa San Librato, designed by Russell Page in 1965 for the art historian conte Donato Sanminatelli and his contessa, Maria Odescalchi, and carried out over the following decade.

On the same road are the ruins of the Aquae Apollinaris, a complex of baths famous in the Roman age.

At Vigna di Valle, next to the lake, the former seaplane base today houses the Italian Air Force Museum. The museum's four hangars hold a number of historical military aircraft, including famous planes such as the MC. 202, the Supermarine Spitfire, the Savoia Marchetti S.79, the F-104 Starfighter, the Caproni Ca.100 and the Panavia Tornado. Also on view is a remarkable collection of three Schneider Cup racers, including the Macchi M.C.72. The museum stages an annual 'Giornata Azzura' airshow at Pratica di Mare airport.

Climate
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Csa" (Mediterranean climate).

Jefferson Seminary

The Jefferson Seminary was one of Kentucky's first schools and is considered to be the direct ancestor of the University of Louisville.

The school was chartered by the Kentucky General Assembly in 1798, with the sale of 6,000 acres (24 km2) of land in rural southern Kentucky used to pay for initial construction. Eight prominent citizens of the fledgling village of Louisville (then the second largest city on the Falls of the Ohio River) met together on April 3, 1798, to seek donations for the school and to arrange for its board of trustees and faculty. "No religious connotation was implied by the term seminary."

The process of establishing the school was slow, with a school house finally being built at the present day intersection of 8th Street and Muhammad Ali Boulevard sometime between 1813 and 1816. Its first principal was Edward Mann Butler, one of Kentucky's most prominent educators and a man who later became the state's most trusted historian. The school offered both high school and college level courses in English, geography, French, Latin, geometry, and trigonometry. It had an average of 45 to 50 students, who paid $20 for a six-month term.

Despite the school's early success, pressure from newly established public schools would force its closure in 1829. Criticism from what became The Courier-Journal also aided the closing, with its editor, Shadrach Penn Jr., who editorialized that the school "was elitist and didn't give Louisville's school children a practical education."

Polo shirt

A polo shirt, tennis shirt, golf shirt, or chukker shirt is a form of shirt with a collar. Polo shirts are usually short sleeved but can be long; they were used by polo players originally in India in 1859 and in Great Britain during the 1920s.

Polo shirts are usually made of knitted cotton (rather than woven cloth), usually a piqué knit, or less commonly an interlock knit (the latter used frequently, though not exclusively, with pima cotton polos), or using other fibers such as silk, wool, synthetic fibers, or blends of natural and synthetic fibers. A dress-length version of the shirt is called a polo dress.

History of the tennis shirt
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, tennis players ordinarily wore "tennis whites" consisting of long-sleeved white button-up shirts (worn with the sleeves rolled up), flannel trousers, and ties. This attire presented problems for ease of play and comfort.

René Lacoste, the French seven-time Grand Slam tennis champion, felt that the stiff tennis attire was too cumbersome and uncomfortable. He designed a white, short-sleeved, loosely-knit piqué cotton (he called the cotton weave jersey petit piqué) shirt with an unstarched, flat, protruding collar; a buttoned placket; and a shirt-tail longer in back than in front (known today as a "tennis tail"; see below), which he first wore at the 1926 U.S. Open championship.

Beginning in 1927, Lacoste placed a crocodile emblem on the left breast of his shirts, as the American press had begun to refer to him as "The Crocodile", a nickname which he embraced.

Lacoste's design mitigated the problems that traditional tennis attire created:

 * the short, cuffed sleeves solved the tendency of long sleeves to roll down
 * the shirt should be buttoned to the top
 * the piqué collar could be worn upturned to protect the neck skin from the sun
 * the jersey knit piqué cotton breathed and was more durable
 * the "tennis tail" prevented the shirt from pulling out of the wearer's trousers or shorts

In 1933, after retiring from professional tennis, Lacoste teamed up with André Gillier, a friend who was a clothing merchandiser, to market that shirt in Europe and North America. Together, they formed the company Chemise Lacoste, and began selling their shirts, which included the small embroidered crocodile logo on the left breast.

Application to polo
Until the beginning of 20th century, polo players wore thick, long-sleeved shirts made of Oxford-cloth cotton. This shirt was the first to have a buttoned-down collar, which polo players invented in the late 19th century to keep their collars from flapping in the wind. Brooks Brothers' early president, John Brooks, noticed this while at a polo match in England and began producing such a shirt in 1896. Brooks Brothers still produces this style of button-down "polo shirt".

In 1920, Lewis Lacey, a Canadian (born of English parents in Montreal, Quebec in 1887) haberdasher and polo player, began producing a shirt that was embroidered with an emblem of a polo player, a design originating at the Hurlingham Polo Club near Buenos Aires.

In 1972, Ralph Lauren marketed a tennis shirt as a "polo shirt" as a prominent part of his original line Polo, thereby helping further its already widespread popularity. While not specifically designed for use by polo players, Lauren's shirt imitated what by that time had become the normal attire for polo players. As he desired to exude a certain "WASPishness" in his clothes, initially adopting the style of clothiers like Brooks Brothers, J. Press, and "Savile Row"-style English clothing, he prominently included this attire from the "sport of kings" in his line, replete with a logo reminiscent of Lacoste's crocodile emblem, depicting a polo player and pony.

In large part due to Ralph Lauren (and arguably as an example of a genericized trademark), the term “polo shirt,” has become far more common than “tennis shirt” or “golf shirt.”

Golf
Over the latter half of the 20th century, as standard clothing in golf became more casual, the tennis shirt was adopted nearly universally as standard golf attire. Many golf courses and country clubs require players to wear golf shirts as a part of their dress code. Moreover, producing Lacoste's "tennis shirt" in various golf cuts has resulted in specific designs of the tennis shirt for golf, resulting in the moniker golf shirt.

Golf shirts are commonly made out of polyester, cotton-polyester blends, or mercerized cotton. The placket typically holds three or four buttons, and consequently extends lower than the typical polo neckline. The collar is typically fabricated using a stitched double-layer of the same fabric used to make the shirt, in contrast to a polo shirt collar, which is usually one-ply ribbed knit cotton. Golf shirts often have a pocket on the left side, originally designed to hold small items such as a scorepad and pencil.

In Vietnam
Polo shirts, also known as "áo thun có cổ" in Vietnamese, were introduced to Vietnam in the early 20th century by the French. Initially, polo shirts were worn by the upper class and athletes. Gradually, polo shirts became popular and widely accepted by all social classes. Many Vietnamese companies and businesses choose polo shirts as their employee uniforms. According to Metric.vn, the Vietnamese polo shirt market on e-commerce platforms reached 9.2 billion VND in 2023, a decrease of 19.3% compared to the previous quarter. Polo shirts account for about 20% of the Vietnamese t-shirt market, equivalent to 1.84 billion VND. In 2023, Vietnam exported 3.2 billion USD worth of t-shirts of all kinds,   of which polo shirts accounted for about 20%, equivalent to 640 million USD.

Talk:Screamo

Disputed info
Some editors have heavily resisted the inclusion of referenced information. Apparently any discussion of Thursday (band) and related bands is a big NO NO here (I wasn't aware...). Anyways, Although referring to these bands as screamo may fringe on breaking the balance of "the misuse of the term screamo," it IS appropriate to cite that many such bands reflect some attributes of screamo. Considering that editors have ALSO disputed any inclusion of information about Nintendocore and crunkcore (two well referenced notable genres that derive some influence from screamo), I lumped all of this information into a section called "Influence on other styles." HOPEFULLY people will stop vandalizing this page by removing such information. By putting it in this section, readers will be able to differentiate 'original' screamo from these styles that are merely influenced by some aspects of screamo. --  ♫ Chris-B-Koolio ♫    ... (Talk)   18:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I moved the info about Thursday and all of the other bands mentioned in allmusic back up to the "modern screamo" section, as there is NO reason it shouldn't be there unless third-party sources question the bands mentioned, and even then, only the bands that are challenged should be moved. I think the rest was a good move on your part, though crunkcore is an actual screamo fusion, and should be mentioned as such.--3family6 (talk) 19:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

 * You're right. I guess I was trying too hard to keep the peace with that other guy who kept vandalizing the page, lol. Referenced information is referenced information. --  ♫ Chris-B-Koolio ♫    ...    (Talk)    19:36, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

 * I think one of the reasons for these problems is because screamo is a post-hardcore style, which explains bands like Thursday. I personally have almost no clue of how to distinguish one hardcore style from another, but I don't really need to because Wikipedia runs on sources.--3family6 (talk) 19:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Yes! That definitely explains much of the confusion. Also a lot of die-hard fans of old screamo and emotional hardcore bands have a hard time allowing any other modern groups to be defined as such. But references are references. According to the sources on the article (including the Allmusic source) screamo defines an abrasive style of hardcore punk and emo. I think this page has been under the strict control of those "die-hard", stubborn, fans who don't accept references for far too long. --   ♫ Chris-B-Koolio ♫    ...    (Talk)    20:07, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

There is a common thread in a lot of new genre names that I see in Wikipedia pages all the time, where various artists representative of the genre state that they don't consider themselves (whatever genre). As most genre names are not created by bands, but by journalists and fans, that a given artist doesn't consider themselves a given genre name is not factually useful or even relevant information. 69.244.155.82 (talk) 19:21, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Time for an overhaul?
I think it might be time to give this page a serious rewrite. The way it currently reads sounds like it was written in the mid-2000s, when a lot of (fairly clueless) media outlets had gotten into the habit of calling any post-hardcore band with screaming in it "screamo." It got so bad at one point that people actually start using "real screamo" or "skramz" to refer to actual screamo bands, because the "screamo" name had become so diluted and meaningless.

In retrospect, that was a very silly time in music, and most people familiar with the genre now realize that screamo has a much more complicated definition than "music with screaming in it." Post-hardcore is post-hardcore, and screamo is screamo. Orchid, Seatia, pg.99, etc. are screamo. Senses Fail, Underoath, and Alexisonfire (all bands cited in the current screamo article) are not. Unfortunately, they can't simply be deleted, because there's valid-ish citations of media outlets from a few years ago calling those bands "screamo."

Instead of the way it currently is, the article should be rewritten to reflect the fact that screamo is a fairly narrowly defined genre, but that there was a period in the mid-to-late-2000s when the term was conflated with post-hardcore and some metalcore. This allows the history of this mis-usage to remain intact, but distinguishes between this and what is truly meant by the term screamo.

I'd be willing to help out with this rewrite, but I'm not going to waste my time if people are going to revert it back to its current state because of decade-old citations from oblivious media outlets. Hence, I'm asking other editors what they think should be done. Thoughts? EznorbYar (talk) 01:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * So then what makes screamo different from other types of rock that have screaming in it? I think this is your starting point. If you get a good, reliable, authoritative source on what makes screamo screamo, then that would help your cause. MidnightRequestLine (talk) 04:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

This definitely needs an overhaul. There needs to be a distinction made between metalcore "screamo" and screamo that is influenced by 90's screamo.72.76.167.126 (talk) 00:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Definitely needs an overhaul. Unfortunatel,y unless someone is able to contact people who could be considered authorities on screamo (true screamo) it will be impossible to prove that nintedocore and crunkcore are not screamo simply because ignorant media posted about it. Craksmok (talk) 04:50, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Terminology
Hi fellow editors! I reintroduced the section about the misuse of the term "screamo" and made some edits to the organization (the characteristics section primarily, which repeated several statements) without removing content. I think it's very important to retain a brief statement in the intro about the misapplication of the term "screamo" as an umbrella term for all music that features screamed vocals. I think that discourages further misapplication of the the term and clarifies why so many references exist claiming that a million and one bands are screamo, when they are in-fact practitioners of another genre entirely. If anyone has any comments ore suggested edits please discuss here. Thanks! -Chrisbkoolio (talk) 23:40, 16 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Also, FYI, the characteristics section now has 4 examples: One of 1990s screamo, one of commercial 2000s screamo, one of mid 2000s contemporary screamo, and one of 2010s screamo-revival. All these are mentioned in citations either in the body (History section) or directly in the sound-file-box. It's important for readers to understand their relationship to the genre.--Chrisbkoolio (talk) 02:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Crunkcore
May Crunkcore be added in Derivative forms? Dekai Averett (talk) 20:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I would definitely be opposed because there is no evidence of a link with the actual screamo sound which this article discusses (Heroin/Orchid/CTTS style screamo). The mere usage of high-pitched screams does not make crunkcore a derivative.-- MA SHAUN IX 15:13, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Genre warring over Crunkcore
Crunkcore is listed as a derivative, this is a change I made a few months ago and I am fine with it being removed but it has to be discussed. I added it as a Derivative because it is sourced, though un-legitamently in some people's eyes, as being a fusion of Screamo and Crunk. Due to it not truly being a fusion genre to Screamo I added it as a Derivative. A Derivative is NOT a subgenre or fusion genre directly, it may take elements from another genre but is a different thing entirely. For example Post-punk is a Derivative to Punk rock because it is not Punk rock and it experiments far beyond the confines of Punk and Rock more broadly into Funk, Dub, Disco, Pop, Glam, and Electronic territories all while keeping Punk influence. Dekai Averett (talk) 23:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I'd argue that, especially since the added clarification on the "definition of screamo" into the article, it makes sense to remove this term from the page. Perhaps moving it to somewhere more accurate? Also, I just looked through the sources for the page and they're clearly not reliable: 90 is the closest, being a Guardian article – that said, it refers to the genre as "screamo metal" which has quite an...interesting ring to it; 91 is mis-attrbuted to the NYT and About.com, instead it is actually a thoughtco article with no mention of crunk; both 92 & 93 are student-newspaper opinion articles (which are very poorly edited, I might add.) Methinks these are not generally accepted reliable sources, even in a scene which relies on a DIY ethos and all-ages effort. Sgnaf (talk) 06:14, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

 * I removed the errant citations. Also, whoever added this note is both melodramatic and seriously overstating their case: "Do not remove this mention of Crunkcore. Although disputed, it is thoroughly sourced. A comment has been added regarding the dispute, and therefore genre is not listed as a fusion in the infobox, but is only briefly mentioned here." Just because people say something is something else, does not make it that. To call those sources "thorough" is beyond questionable. Sgnaf (talk) 06:28, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Sass
Is Sass worth mentioning as a subgenre if Screamo? I believe a case can be made that it does but some of the bands listed under the genre don't fall under Screamo at all and primarily fall under other genres such as Metalcore, Post-hardcore, and Dance punk. Dekai Averett (talk) 04:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * It's always been associated the most with screamo, some sources call it a sub-genre and some others put screamo in its name> It's definitely one of the more obscure styles, but with the recent success of SeeYouSpaceCowboy a lot of media outlets have started picking it up, so I don't see how it does not constitute a mention. Issan Sumisu (talk) 07:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I have found multiple sources and correct it is tied to screamo but due to its large amount of influences and large variety of bands (some of which don't have any direct connections to screamo and are more associated with grindcore, noise rock, and dance-punk) I don't think putting it on the screamo page is correct. On that note do you think with the sources present a whole article could be created off of Sass? Some genre articles have stayed up with only a few sources and the sources present have lots of information. I think a case could be made about a single article about the genre even if its addition is fairly new.

 * I debated for probably over a year as to even including it on this page and only decided to go through with it because of SeeYouSpaceCowboy and their success pushing more places to write about it but I definitely don't feel like there's anywhere near enough sources for it to have its own page. SYWh is very extensive and A.V. Club is also pretty extensive, but that's just two articles, while most other places writing about it really just a cite one or two bands. I think we should probably try to expand the current section for a while and eventually it may reach the right point. Issan Sumisu (talk) 16:35, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Could an infobox be made for Sass considering the vast amount of influences for it and bands that fall under it? This infobox would be similar to that of rapcore, indie electronic, and trap metal.
 * Go for it, it does seem appropriate because of most bands also using keyboards. Issan Sumisu (talk) 07:26, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 * FYI, I started a discussion about the suitability of the "stuff you will hate" citation for sass bands here: Reliable_sources/Noticeboard. Also, FWIW, I don't think this section belongs here at all. Sure, it's related to screamo, but I think it's a stretch to treat it as a subgenre. Maybe it needs it's own page? Yilloslime (talk) 21:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
 * There are not enough sources to turn it into its own full fledged page yet I dont think. And it isnt a subgenre of screamo just some Sass bands have ties to screamo and many pages call it a subgenre. In actuallity it is more of a subgenre of hardcore punk as a whole. But I think we need more sources.User:Dekai Averett (talk 9:13, 17 Febuary 2019 (UTC)

Source reliability...
I realize I'm somewhat new here, but please read the reliable sources page. The number of spammy and unrelated websites with no notability or credibility is really disturbing. It's basically page vandalism if you ask me. I know this is a punk sub-genre so there will be zines and other DIY/amateur-created content which is absolutely reliable documentation, but most of this drivel just isn't.

Deafheaven, Bosse-de-Nage
Both bands play blackgaze (a black metal/screamo/shoegaze/post-whatever crossover), although both bands influenced by screamo. I suggest to mention that somehow. See my reverted version --87.150.3.65 (talk) 16:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

 * It could easily be include as an additional short paragraph in the Characteristics section, I just reverted because the sources didn't specifically refer to post-screamo, so there was no need to have it in post-screamo. Something that should also probably be included is the discussion as to whether those groups are screamo acts, seen in https://music.avclub.com/deafheaven-sunbather-1798177040 http://www.treblezine.com/20809-blurred-lines-evolution-of-genre/ https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2015/05/04/bosse-de-nage/
 * I actually doubt that "post-screamo" is a disctinct genre (like post-hardcore etc), the expression actually describes any derivative styles of screamo. --87.150.15.82 (talk) 14:21, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
