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!

Get the scene points mug.by ericpdawson October 1, 2003
Get the brownie points mug.Commonly used word by Montclair, New Jersey teenagers, usually those who think that they're cool enough to create a new slang term.
If you live in Montclair and think you're really cool you will use this word for no reason when in reality no one really knows what it means.

Get the Frownie Points mug.A system used as a marker for how irritating, smug, feminine or stupid someone is. Like man points, batty points can only be accumulated.
They can also only be handed out by someone who has a significant proportion less Batty points than they have whilst also having a significant proporsion more Man Points.
Although not classed in some countries as a real qualification, most people will take your 'Batty Count' into consideration whether deciding whether or not you would be a good friend/mating partner.
Ways to earn batty points:
1 Ditching friends to hang round with women.
2 Feeling unjustly smug.
3 Repetition of bad jokes/unfunny catchphrases.
4 Not wanting to do something manly
5 Making a big fuss over minor injuries
6 Whining & Crying
7 Caring too much about your appearance.8 Making trivial mistakes which affect you/your friends situation.
9 Lying about how many Batty/Man points you have.
10 Trying to hand out Batty/Man points without correct Man Point quota.
Traditionally an individuals' Batty Count is recorded in the local 'Batty Tome' (working in conjuction with the Tome of Man) although more recently councils have been testing out online prototypes with varying sucess.
