What is Scene??

     The scene style originated from different genres. Scene kids take lot of pride in their appearance, music, and their overall image. Music plays a big part in a scene kid’s life. Some people say scene is just a style or just a type of music. But scene kids don’t just consider their style a fashion statement or a music type, to them it’s fashion, music, and attitude combined together. It’s a whole lifestyle.

       To describe the fashion, scene boys and girls tend to have choppy layers in their hair. Dying chunks of hair different colors and having constantly changing hair color is very popular. Scene girls like to tease and puff their hair at the top. Many will also wear some kind of hair band, bow, or tiara daily.

 

     Make-up is also another important part of the scene style. Girls and boys alike wear quite a bit of black eyeliner and mascara, but girl will also wear bright neon colors. Girls also like to wear bright, colorful eye shadow and fake eyelashes.

       Scene kids like to wear tons of accessories. Having several inches of rubber/plastic bracelets, or colorful bead bracelets or necklaces with colorful/cute charms or cartoon characters (these are also more commonly known as kandi bracelets) is also popular. Having many ear piercings or having a body piercing is also trendy.

         For cloths scene kids like to wear striking t-shirts. Tight shirts with cartoon characters like Hello Kitty, Pokémon, Adventure Time, Sponge Bob, or different band shirts are all in style for them. For pants both sexes will wear almost any kind of skinny jeans. Girls also like to wear layered skirts. When they dress up in make-up and all they always appreciate “shock value”.

      Scene kids luv their music and often say that “music is their life”. Typical genres are punk rock, dubstep, hardcore, post-hardcore, screamo, classic rock, emo, crunk, metalcore, deathcore, pop-punk, and sometimes even hip-hop or rap. Scene kids like to listen to local or unknown bands. They normally don’t listen to mainstream music like pop. 

 

       Scene kinds generally like socialize and date people like themselves.  This will cause outsiders to dislike them and feel rejected. People will also judge scene kids based on how they dress and criticize them. Scene kids call these people ‘haters’.

     Scene kids strongly believe in their style. People who try to copy of fit in with them are often called posers. True scene kids dislike being stereotyped, wile posers get over excited about their new style that they tend to go around and tell everyone they are now ‘scene’. Tons of posers are just into being ‘scene’ for the attention. This is mostly looked down upon by true scene kids. 

 

      As not being just a style, scene kids even have their own way of taking. They like using old slang like uber, stellar, rad, hellz ya, etc. Scene kids will also call things sexy when showing interest or like in something. When texting, typing, or chatting, they will use abbreviations like hXc (hardcore), sXe (straightedge), betch, eff yuu, lol, gtg, idgaf, and others like that.

     Other common things for scene kids is being straightedge(not taking part on drugs, alcohol, and sex). Being vegetarian, pescetarian, or semi-vegetarian is now popular. They also take interests in arts such as art, creative writing, fashion design, photography, hair styling, singing, playing music and others. 

 

      Scene kids are often labeled as ‘emo’ by outsiders. Wile they might seem the same in reality the two styles are very different. Scene kids are generally happy, bubble, cute, care-free, and childish. So the whole ‘scene style’ is really a whole lifestyle and not just a fashion statement.
