scene

1.) n. A subculture, group, or clique of people and often the music used to identify them. Can be anything, really. Punk, hardcore, alternative, indie, etc. The term is often used to generalize the people, bands, and hangout locales of the group.

2.) adj. A way to mock or insult someone who tries too hard to dress in the style of whatever "scene" or subculture they identify with. Having the title "scenester" didn't used to be a desirable thing. Almost like being called a "poser," or being accused of being superficial. Other terms commonly used are "scenefag" or "sceneslut."

3.) adj. As time wore on, a predominant "scene" emerged of androgynous boys and girls with asymmetrical hair cuts, tight jeans, and loud, neon colored hoodies and DIY shirts. They adopted the title "scene" to describe themselves, similar to the way some gays and lesbians have adopted the words "fag" and "dyke" in an attempt to remove the negative connotation.

1.) "Hey man, let's start a band to prove we're down for the scene" or "This indie rock scene fuckin sucks, let's go downtown and kick it with the punks"

2.) "Look at that fuckin' scenester, he thinks he's so damn hip. What a tool."

3.) "OMG Kaylie, that polka dot ribbon and neon green shirt with the dinos is like, SO scene! XOXO"

Okay, okay. Enough about stereotyping! Scene is just a label. Most scene kids are gorgeous and have amazing hair! If you don't have cute hair, get it! Some scenesters come up with unique ideas to do to their hair, like dyeing your bangs turquoise or framing your hair around their face. Most scene girls wear alot of eyeliner and eyeshadow, but if you want you can tone it down. Many scene kids are afraid of being labelled because people WILL call them a poser, but if you want to label yourself, that's fine! Just don't go around earth shouting 'look at my Skrillex teeshirt, piercings, and hair! Aren't I so scene?'

Since the 2007 downfall of the Scene trend, there are less Scenesters out there. However, it has been picked up by the younger generation. These kids are usually 13-16. Sadly, you may also see 10-12 year olds trying it out, then failing epically. A lot of things are different, yet the foundation of the Scene is mostly the same.
The first steps of the Scene, sometimes labeled ‘elektrikk’ evolved into ‘br00tal’, which now has come to what I’d call “new age scenesters”

MUSIC:
2008 = screamo, post-hardcore, electronic/dance, acoustic
AS OPPOSED TO
06/07 = deathcore, grindcore, hardcore
2005 = pop punk, emo

HAIR:
2008 = teased, less crazy and dead bird-like, brown gaining popularity
06/07 = teased to dead bird-like state, strictly black or white blonde
2005 = short, choppy, black

STYLE:
2008 = standard vans/converse, skinny jeans, band t-shirts, graphic/vintage, plastic jewelry, bandanas
06/07 = skin-tight black skinny jeans, black skirts+leggings, plastic jewelry
2005 = (same as 2008 scenesters)

MAKE UP:
2008 = dark eyeliner, colored or no eye shadow
06/07 = black eyeliner, cat-eye or winged out, black eye shadow, fake moles
2005 = (same as 2008 scenesters)

ATTITUDE:
2008 = resembling normal people. some are conceited and pull a “SUP IM BETTA DEN U” move
06/07 = total elitist snobs. Arrogant, cocky, stuck-up, etc. Only talk to people as amazing & trendy
2005 = more snobby than new age scenesters, but not as bad as the br00tal kids.

Many bystanders claim that the Scene is dead and that anyone who still continues to follow it is a try-hard/poseur. However, this is not always the case. Scene is much like the Punk & Goth styles. It hit its peak and witnesses the best of times, but they decline, and fall into near extinction. Same with the Scene trend. The main followers have grown up to be 16, 17, and 18 year olds who no longer take part in compulsive hair coloring or MySpace whoring. However, the younger generation continues to keep it alive for a few last breaths of air.

Hopefully this explained how the scene was & how it is now...

scene

Scene kids are more into the fashion and wear tons and tons of makeup but are more able to rock bright colors or patterns, weird hair, etc. Emo kids more fade into the background and scene kids are more crazy. They want to stand out. they will also not be ashamed to say they listen to hip hop sometimes. They will jump around at shows, while the emos fold their arms in the back. Emo kids are sad that they don't fit in, and scene kids don't really think about it. That would take valuable time away from taking pictures of themselves with their new purple tights.

man... that girl is just so scenery, i can't handle it.
