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!

scene is those kids who overdo their personal photoshoots by their obscure camera angles and excessive amounts of makeup, so we have no idea what they actually look like.
they seem cool, but they're just trendy.
and their nexopia and myspace pages are the same way. they're overdone and colourful. you have no idea what this person is actually like.

scene kids are the ones with over eight pictures on their nexopia or myspace page that are all from a self indulgent photoshoot that they dressed up for

This is a style. It is not a person. It is a type of attitude and should not be taken lightly. People tend to think scene kids should always a certain way, no. They are who they are.

a scene bitch is one of those really vain scene/emo/hardXcore girls who take pics of themselves semi naked in their bathrooms, then post bulletins saying "comment my pics kthnx"
Preppy Girl: "OMG, look at Alyssa, she has turned into sucha scene bitch"
Dumb Preppy Girl: "I thought she was emo"

if done right, makeup's saving grace. when done by an untalented girl, it usually consists of greasy, thick, and messy black liner, crayola eyeshadow, or, in a departure from that, black tire-grease shadow. but when done by a talented girl it is colorful, detail-oriented, and articulate. can be quite pretty.
