On the guitar, pinch harmonics is the act of lightly touching a string with the edge of your thumb/palm (picking hand) after plucking it. Similar to natural harmonics except you're not playing off a fret. If you use a lot of distortion and gain it produces a squealing effect.
A lot of guitarists use pinch harmonics, most notably Zakk Wylde, but also players like ZZ Top, Dimebag Darrell, and even Steve Vai.

Get the pinch harmonicsmug. For example, saying "everyone and their dog has a Ford Mustang" would be appropriate.
Or take the following conversation:
emo kid: "check out my ears, I just got them tapered, I'm so original"
person with an identity: "everyone and their dog has gauged ears in 2005"

Get the everyone and their dogmug. Best sport ever, probably the only sport worth participating in because the players and coaches aren't redneck douche bags.
Also gives you a lot of stamina. XC guy + XC girl = hot sex

I like running because I can do it on my own terms and at my own pace. Much better than having some fat 50 year-old redneck son-of-a-bitch football coach yelling at me to go long or pass the ball.

Get the cross countrymug. The "Scene" typically refers to a hardxcore or emocore subculture where fashion and physical appearance are held in higher regard than the actual music itself. So closely related to fashioncore that the two terms are interchangable in most scenarios.
The scene is a slap in the face to real musicians. The contention of the scene is that it's basically cool to be a poser.
Characteristics that scene kids usually have:
- pretend to be guitarists when all they're likely able to play are open/power/barre chords
- hair that's long in the front and short in the back (e.g. a devilock or emo hair)
- overly-tight pants. the scene guys usually wear misses size womens pants.
- overly-tight shirts with the name of the crappiest/most obscure band you can find. also wear "vintage" shirts that are bought from ebay or thrift stores (e.g. a shirt from a rolling stones concert in the 1970's while the kid wearing it was born in the 1980's).
- lots of facial piercings... gauged ears (usually 0g or more), septum piercing, double lip piercings (snake bites), labret piercing, etc.

Get the scenemug. Pseudo-intelligent idiots who dress and act a certain way in attempt to fit into the "emo" subculture. That's all they are -- they're not original, they're not sophisticated, they're shallow little teenage shitbags who want sex from like-minded emo shitbags.
I'm into photography, I took many of the first pictures that were put up on this website. I don't take pictures of myself in a mirror and post them under "emo" and "scene".
I play the guitar too, and I can say that 99% of all emo songs consist of power chords and simple pentatonic solos played in the same key. They don't have any real emotion, just gaudy over-fermented lyrics. Real emotion = Steve Vai or Jeff Beck.

Get the emo girlsmug. A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.
The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.

Get the sweep pickingmug. Most addicting video game ever, next to World of Warcraft. Any chick that tells you not to play CS for hours on end can suck a fat one.
Weed, sex, guitars, and counter-strike through high school, then use my dad's money to get me into college.
