an elaborate system for calculating popularity commonly joked about among scenesters and scenester wannabes. everybody know what they are but no one will actually admit they exist.
for example, these things give you scene points: -bandanas -straight edge -veganism -black hair over face -collecting vinyl -having obscure band merch -wearing tight pants -being friends with bands, promoters, etc. these things make you lose scene points: -wearing volcom, zero, hurley, etc. -liking good charlotte -asking for an autograph -driving (scene kids walk/take the bus) -having anything to do with rap -getting a tan Aw fuck! I can't make it to the show tonight! There go my scene points.

Scene points are a way of measuring how trendy or scene someone is. Also called scene cred. Teenagers used to joke about scene points but now more and more scenesters are taking it seriously.
As a scene kid, I don't really worry about earning scene points. After a while, you just start doing scene things without having to think about it. There are ways to incorporate your own style into your look while still being a scene kid. Follow these guidelines to earning scene points and do what feels comfortable. Either way you're still kind of a conformist, but whatever. You can't please everyone no matter WHAT you do or look like so if being a scene kid appeals to you, then wtf, just go for it! things that will give you scene points:

The funniest part of the scene. I think people take it too seriously. Basically, if you do something scene, you shout "SCENE POINTS!" It never gets old. I have a bow in my hair. SCENE POINTS!
