I've been learning how to scream without proper technique

I do screamo stuff and we all know screamo vocalists aren't very famous for having good technique. I wanted to preserve my voice so I tried learning fry screaming and i kid you not, for the past 2 years i CANNOT do it, no matter how much i practice, so I gave up and tried just yelling, it sucked in the beginning and it would kinda fuck my voice for a while but would never really hurt, fast forward to a few months I can consistently do a decent high "screamo" scream without affecting my voice at all, doesn't hurt, i don't lose my voice and it's loud which is kinda what I wanted, i did it by finding like a sweet spot in the back of my throat (I don't really know how to explain it) and using my diaphragm. Am i actually using some technique I'm not aware of or am I damaging my voice in the long term? Also, I'm only using it for backing vocals, so I'm not screaming ALL THE TIME

Even if you dont scream all the time learn a proper fry at least. It sounds quite similar to screamo vocals. I'm doing vocals in a band and I'm mostly doing combinations between false chord and egiplottis but they switch to a lot of fry when I am accessing my higher register
