Get the scene mug.No doubt a group of some of the most unattractive people on the planet. Most "scenesters" seem to be pretty dedicated to the mandatory fashion criteria in order to fit in, for example, septum piercings, black clothing, little or no eyebrows and bad, bad hair. Not to mention the typical scene photograph which consists of the subject looking up into the camera with a surprised face. One of the largest conforming and non-understanding movements originally meant to be about not conforming and an understanding of others.
I suppose the "scene" was originally about the music until girls with bows and digital cameras got a hold of it. It's long gone now.

Usually a teen male or female, whose teenage angst is fed with colorful clothing and hair. A typical 'scene kid' is usually doused with numerous piercings, tattoos, and choppy hair. You can usually spot a 'scene kid' wandering around your local mall, a local show, or flaunting themselves on MySpace. 'Scene' is known to have derived from 'Emo', and didn't come into play until about a year or so ago. Most individuals claiming to be 'scene' will do the following:
1. Take pictures at an angle, and edit them very poorly with paint and/or Adobe Photoshop.
2. Have their lip, septum, or bridge pierced.
3. Appear at every local 'hardcore' show, and attempt to 'hardcore dance' by flailing their arms and legs around like a complete fool.
4. Often use words with too many extra letters i.e. sexxxy, omgggggg, lolz, uhkthnxbai, etc.
5. Have obscure haircuts usually involving too many layers, horrible coloring, and several tiny bows, barrettes, or clips. The hair is often worn very straight, and most 'scene' girls will carry around their Chi in their purses in case they need to touch up.
6. Both the boys and girls involved with the 'scene' will wear gacious amounts of make-up. Eyebrows can often be found to be drawn on, heavy eyeliner, colorful eyeshadows/liners, and glitter can be found on the face.
7. Child-like clothing has been found to be popular amongst the 'scene kids'. Most will wear Pokemon, Strawberry Shortcake, and most famous Hello Kitty clothing, accessories, etc.
8. Most wear shoes called 'flats'. I have seen many to start wearing checkered Vans canvas shoes.
The most popular place for 'scene' kids to express their 'individuality' is on the one and only myspace.com.
Do a random search, and be sure to add an extra 'x' here and there for kicks, just to be sure that you'll find what you're looking for.

Get the Scene mug.A person completely obsessed with themselves and how cool everything that they do is. with bucked up hair and makeup and dudes wearing tighter pants than girls.

Get the Scene mug.Someone in touch with music/fashion/style/etc that exceeds the norm of any particular person at one point in time. Due to overuse of the internet and myspace at large, the idea of being "scene" has become synonomous with being "emo" or "hXc." Keep in mind, people who catagorize themselves under one of these are obviously not scene, because they are not creative enough to exemplify themselves from the social constructs of the stereotype they tried so hard to not develope by being "scene" in the first place. Those who abuse some so called "scene" lingo are not scene, because as any TRUE scene kid knows, scene lingo itself cannot exist or be catagorized itself...the lingo is so incredibly ahead of the curve that truly only the speaker alone is clear on the meaning and its relation to "the scene."
In more recent attempts to define the "scene," many have begun to dabble into the fashion of "the scene." It's a common misconception that scene kids wear thousands of bracelets, have choppy black haircuts, abuse eye make-up, and wear Converse shoes. Anyone scene enough to know understands completely that these things are merely a fad perpetuated by people attempting to force their way into the scene lifestyle, and thus, do not do it. The true scenester wears shoes you've never seen before, possibly something they purchased out of a store while vacationing in the UK or Italy with their family, which is probably accompanied with an ensemble unlike those seen on the pages of myspace, and has a haircut unlike anyone elses.
Also, keep in mind he true scenester is not vegan or meat eater, does not stand for causes, and does not attempt to create crews or running gangs of "scene" friends, because as any scenester can tell you, no one cares what you had for lunch, it's just food; civil liberties are something 15 year olds dont need to be worried about, and anyone who gets in fights over "the scene" isn't a scenester at all. Fighting is for posers. Duh.
And for future reference, bitchy little girls who say/refer to/like cunt/robots/dinosaurs have absolutely nothing to do with being scene in any way, shape, or form. They're just bored because their parents realized how much of a waste of time they were, so they've resorted to Myspace to further perpetuate their own lack of sceneness and search out those who will give them the attention they need to survive.
"MURdUrXXcoRE Lol R@wkZ! BANG U CUNT ROBOTZZZ iM So SCEnE ARGG!"
...idiots...

Man, those argyle kicks are pretty ridiculous. That's pretty scene.
Damn, the scene is being overrun with pissy little kids angry about who is smoking and eating hamburgers. They need to go wash off their faces and give their parents more hugs.
Scene oriented person: Man, the scene in Seattle is fuckin' sorted!
Friend: What? sorted? I don't get it.

Get the Scene mug.Scene is by far the most used and abused of all labels.
I say that because... scene kids exploit that they're scene. And non-scene kids usually exploit the fact the the scene kids are "scene" (sarcastically) as well.
To me all social labels are bullshit. But they're used all the time. Even by me. So scene generally goes like this.
-Into the local xcore music of your area. (Any kind of xcore music... hardxcore, metalxcore, grindxcore, etc)
-Into a certain fashion; band tees are a large part, especially if the band tees are for the local kids. Since the scene revolves around the MUSIC, that's incorperated into most of the other aspects of things. Other parts of the fashion; sparkly stuff, skulls on things, pearls, ribbons, tight jeans, bright (but usually well matched) colors- it's kind of usually an interesting mix of preppy fashion and... shall we say emo/hardxcore fashion? I like to watch it. It's terribly fun. Especially watching the kids who fail at it miserably. Those people are usually fakes though...
-Hair. Okay okay. The hair... can occasionally be rediculous. Colors, I rly don't mind. Interesting hair colors are awesome. But when the color is very badly done... go get it done professionally? And if you did get it done by a pro and it STILL sucks... you need to change your shop buddy! Hair usually means like I said the colors(blackblackblack. blonde streaks, red streaks, and purple seem to be common too. Which I'm totally getting purple so stfu!), it means a looong side fringe (bangs, which for all you haters... how many of you went and got side bangs this summer or last summer or whatever? They rly flatter the face. Scene or no scene. Side bangs look good!), it means usually spiked hair but only in the back (this, I rly don't get. When it's done well it looks rly kind of neat, but when it sucks, it's like your half-porcupine... o_o), it means longish hair for the guys (hothothothot. periodtheend.), and it means shorter or shoulder length hair for the girl (but sure it can be long.), and the girl like to wear ribbons or cute headbands in their hair. That, personally, I think is adorable :D
-Bandannas bandannas bandannas. I l-o-v-e bandannas. You can use them for all kinds of stuff- usually worn around the neck (or covering the mouth which cracks me up admittedly) but I love to wear them as belts, around my wrist, as headbands, around my leg, anywhere. I tie them onto my purses. (I have always had a facination with bandannas...)
-Ok so usually these kids like dinsaurs or robots or whatever. Some even go so far as to say dinobot. I rly DON'T get this part. I'm starting to think it's just another fad &&even the scene kids will be over it after a while. But also, a lot of posers use it to get 'into the scene.' Those are the people you should hate on- they don't even like the music or support it. They're just doing it to go with their own personal definition of cool. It's annoying. ><
-MySpace. SCENE KIDS LOVE MYSPACE. Hell. I love MySpace. It's fun. You can keep track of your local bands on their BandSpaces, you can chat with buddies and fellow music lovers. Smart kids, however, don't give away personal info. Wink wink.
-Straightxedge. Straightxedge is when you refuse to drink or do drugs. Smoking doesn't seem to fit into that category most of the time though... for some people it probably does.
-Vegan/vegetarian. This isn't AS common. Be a cold day in a hot place when I go veg. But usually it's to advocate animal rights- a very noble cause. Some people just do it to lose weight. Good idea....! Though to be scene you don't actually HAVE to be superduperskinny. I'm not. I'm about normal.
-Hardxcore dancing/moshing. It's FUN. It's hilarious. It's another way to show support to the bands. &&Its flipping hard to do! Bet the haters can't do it. Ha, half the scene kids &&all the posers can't do it... lmfao. I can't do it. XD
&&There's probably plenty more to the scene. But these are the... surface elements of it. There's a lot of bullshit going on about the scene too. Here's some of that.
-All scene/emo/hardxcore kids hate their parents. BULLSHIT. Lots of them have to use their parents for money or rides to the shows. And I hella love my parents. (I am generally considered scene. Why, I honestly don't know. Well nevermind, I love the music around here. That's probably the only reason, lmfao.) But yeah we don't all hate our parents. Some do, that's a given. But they'd probably hate their parents whether they were scene or not.
-Scene kids are arrogant. No, kiddies. If you're scene you're not automatically arrogant. It's the same as with parents- people who are arrogant would be arrogant anyway. Some rly awful people just act arrogant. (Cough. Posers. Cough.) Others rly have been screwed over in life and are either truly arrogant... or they're just trying to block people.
-Scene boys are gay cause of the girl pants/black eyeliner/eye makeup. Psssht. They do it cause they want to. Some might BE gay. Who GIVES a shit? Gay/straight/bi, I certainly don't care. All I care about it that I'm straight. Woo hoo for me. >_>
-Scene kids are hypocrites cause they say they're trying to be original when they're just following the other scene kids. Nonono. Those kids are the POSER scene kids. They're trying too hard and it shows, am I right? Plus, if they're just doing what everyone else does... where do you suppose all this stuff theyre copying CAME FROM?! Exactly. The real deal. So yep.
-Scene kids are always emo too. EMO is such an abused label. I mean go click that link and see all the bullshit that pops up, I dare you. Emo is simply short for emotional- and EVERY girl knows what that's like. Even guys probably know what it's like (they just don't go around TELLING everybody!), and so everyone is emotional at some point or other. Kids who TRY to be emo are again, simply wannabes. Emo/screamo music however does have its place in the scene. It's just another form of music. Get over it.
Personally, I think that all this controversy about the scene is totally worthless, pointless, biased, and ignorant. I mean rly. Just let it BE. Who CARES if you're scene? Who CARES if you hate scene kids? People who are always saying how scene they are either are posers &&need to get over it or they're being sarcastic. People who don't stop hating on the scene kids are hateful and annoying and maybe they should look at all the bullshit of their own social group?
Live and let live. Cause I promise, if you hate then they're not going to drop dead just for you. &&If you hate the haters you're only giving them the attention they want. Hell I'm doing that now... I'll shut up.. =X
