Heres an easy way to either
A. Give your "scene" credibility or
B. Make fun of kids from different "scenes"
Just take a normal, run of the mill, genre, and add -core to the end of it. Bonus points if you put "X" in the middle of it, as its totally scene.
Now that you're uber indie, you can be as much of a dick as you damn well please. and spew as much shit as you desire, and because you're "alternative", people will automatically assume you are "OMGz, teh hotxXxorz. Bonus points if you look like a blind person who hates you cut your hair.

Fuck -core kids. I dont make differences between indie, emo, scene, hxXxc, folk core, metalcore emocore etc...... They all have equally retarded haircuts. What ever happened to actual metal scenes? Thats right, Mtv raped the credibility they had.

Core memory

A “core memory” is a reference from the Pixar film Inside Out. Core memories are created when a person experiences a certain event that defines one of their behavioral traits. They’re stored inside the brain, in glowing orbs.

“But the really important ones are here. I don't want to get too technical, but these are called Core Memories. Each one came from a super important moment in Riley's life, like when she first scored a goal. That was so amazing! And each core memory powers a different aspect of Riley's personality. Like Hockey Island.”
―Joy, opening narration
