Scene Tax

Scene tax is any extra cost tacked onto the price of a product as a direct result of the product's reputation or "Scene", rather than redeeming qualities or actual worth. Most commonly seen in hipster fashion, guitar and bass amplifiers and many other instances, some styles are "revived" and sold at a high price when the exact same product would be worth much less and is potentially much cheaper elsewhere.

1. Guy 1: Yeah, I got this shirt at General Pants for $75!

Guy 2: Wow... you know I found that exact shirt around the corner for $5? I guess that's the price you pay at a place that thrives on scene tax.

2. Guy 1: I'm looking to get a Sunn Model T bass amp. They're fairly pricey. What do?

Guy 2: Don't think there is anything particularly special about the Model T, but I've not used one. Unltralinear output stage, probably a fairly standard tone stack at a guess. The price is scene tax.

Scene surfer

Urban chameleons. These are the kids you'll see at a rave one night and a punk show the next. They blend in with every crowd, although are not completely accepted by all. Known for being really intelligent and beautiful, although not necessarily in the mainstream sense. NOT HIPSTERS. There's like fifteen or sixteen per town.

A: I saw that kid at the {generic punk band name} show last night! What's he doing going to a jazz club?
C: He's a scene surfer.

Asian scene

A commotion or scuffle when individuals or parties fight to pay the bill.

Mr. Chang: Oh let me get this one.
Mr. Lee: No, no. You paid last time, it's my turn.
Mr. Chang: Back off son or I'm about to start an Asian scene.

Put away wallet Xue Ling or mama will make Asian scene!

kissun scents

The smell of fecal matter that intimate garments like thongs and underwear aquire when worn for a long time.

"Yo girl, yo thong smells like kissun scents. You need to take a shower!"

Tough Scene

When you're 0-5 in fantasy football then your first round pick gets replaced.

Lev Bell just signed with the chiefs and now Clyde Edwards-Helaire is getting replaced. That's a tough scene.
