Shortly lived screamo band Saetia was, to be blunt, the cornerstone of a genre. Oh, sure, there was screamo before them; there would be I Hate Myself in Florida, Orchid in New England, Loma Prieta in California, and pg. 99 in Virginia; heck, there was even Raein in Italy! But Saetia, originated in New York, thrived nonetheless in their 3 year career, influencing said bands. How did they do it? Good question -- they weren't exactly "innovative" to any extent in their lifespan. Sure, they were a bit heavier than the emo of the time (excluding emoviolence), they were aggressive, lo-fi, and unbelievably punk rock. But the answer to the original question lies not in their excogitation, but in their music:- behold 'Saetia.'
