scene

Stereotypically, scene is an trend that's spreading faster than AIDS is in Africa, and involves kids following the scene "fashion" (usually includes blackness, tightness, "hawtxcore" hair with 50000 colors and angled bangs, dinosaurs, etc). The sheer unoriginality of it all is ridiculous.

"Scene" is not to be confused with "emo." Calling a self-proclaimed "scene" kid "emo" will often lead to an ass kicking cuz "LYYKE DUHH HE'S T0TALLYYY SCENE, EWWW@EMO!"

You'll either be a scene kid and love them, or not be a scene kid and hate them.

Note: The scene "language" often involves over usage of symbols and letters such as "z" and "x". Or often times, scene kids remove vowels altogether, so 'your' is changed to 'yr', etc.

straightedge

The principle "don't drink, don't smoke, don't fuck" which came to be in the late 80s by Ian MacKaye and the band Minor Threat.
Most straightedge kids nowadays flaunt the fact that they're straightedge by drawing X's on their hands, wearing clothing that says "Drug Free" or "XXX" or "Poison Free", because for some reason they feel the need to let everyone know they're drug free.
Some (but not all) straightedge kids are sXe because they feel the need to fit in to a group, and they can do so by avoiding toxins.
Straightedge is not to be confused with hardline kids, who are a violent version of straightedge and kick the asses of smokers and drug doers, because for some reason they believe people should not make their own choices.

Straightedge kid: I'VE GOT THE STRAIGHTEDGE! I'm a person just like you, but i've got better things to do than sit around and fuck my head; hang around with the living dead! Snort white shit up my nose, pass out at shows! I don't even think about speed that's just something I don't need! I've got the straightedge!
Kid 2: Um...calm down. I don't need your beliefs shoved down my throat, thanks
Straightedge Kid: I'VE GOT THE STRAIGHTEDGE!
Kid 2: I know. I know.
Straightedge Kid: NEVER WANT TO USE A CRUTCH! I'VE GOT THE STRAIGHTEDGE!
Kid 2: Great. I know.
Straightedge Kid: I'VE GOT THE---
Kid 2: SHUT THE FUCK UP. I GET IT.
