scenesters

Scenesters encapsulate the sub-culture of a particular musical genre. One heavily relies on aesthetics and sartorial image to signify adherence to a particular scene. Scenesters of the post-modern era heavily rely on pastiche, imitation and revival. For scenesters, fashion is the most obvious sign of adherence to a sub-culture or musical genre. The history of the scenester image is rather rich. Perhaps more strongly for some and less for others, the scenester image encompasses not only the evolution of 20th century music, but also the deeper, underlying sociological change in culture and humanity by the inevitable force of globalisation and technological change. Scenesters are not only those who enjoy certain genres of music with the company of their common peers. The decadent scenester image is also attributed by the hedonistic lifestyles embraced by disillusioned individuals in response to political and cultural conflict and change, circa 60-80s. Scenesters are often labelled today as pretentious and self righteous. Central to the scenester image is the culture of elitism. This has caused the subjugation of various scenesters to mockery, critique and hatred. Different scenes follow by their often beliefs and principles, which conflict with other scenes or mainstream culture. Scenes gives individuals a sense of belonging to a clique. In western society today, the scenester image has been quickly adopted and marketed by corporations to sell and accumulate monetary profit. Some see this as the disintregration of the scenester image, as much of it is too brutally contrived by the consuming masses, absent of understanding or meaning.

Phony kids claiming to be apart of a scene. They lack the sincereity and will change when the trend is gone.

Why do those SCENESTERS have X's on his hands? I saw them drinking last week...

Scenesters

I worked at spencer's gifts in my local mall for a year. In this time I could not help noticing the increase in young teens who seemed to be incapable of combing their hair. It became clear that this suit o-punk/ harajuku style of dress was the new trend.

This started me on a obsessive mission to find out what the heck a scene kid/ scenester actually is.
So through extensive research I've come up with the following conclusive facts:
1. Jeffree Star and his gang (Audrey Kitching, Hanna Beth, etc.) are the only true "Scenesters". They took they're new found (Japanese pop) style with them to all the hotest clubs a parties in Hollywood. They got famous for being at every party and having more myspace friends than Tom.
2. Jeffree Stars makeup skills and the fashions Audrey brought back from Japanese modeling/fashion arena is what makes up the style we know today as "Scene".
3. The music really has nothing to do with this pop culture movement.

4. Emo/ Indy/ Alternative kids may identify with the style of dress but the way they classify themselves makes them fundamentally anti-social which is the exact opposite of a scenester.
5. Scensters are obsessed with being the center of attention and the life of every party but they like to look cool and aloof while doing so.
These are the only trends and consistencies that exist in respect to the Scene Kids phenomenon. lots of wikipedia, youtube, twitter and buzznet were my sources.

Google image Harajuku Scenester and Scene Kids. You'll find that though the American version is somewhat understated by comparison it's essentially the same thing. As the good book says "there is nothing new under the sun".

Why Don't Scensters wash their hair?

Scenesters don't really know how to wear extensions.

scenesters

stupid kids (generally indy types or emo children) who hang around in what they percieve to be cool hang outs, normally underage, and who claim to have been into the music and the whole actual life forever when really they got it from the NME last week.

I fucking hate scenesters
Look at those scenesters arent they too young to be here?
Why do scenesters have to pretend to be so cool?

Kid: Ive been into indy way longer than you!

Possibly me: Whats your faviourite band atm?

Kid: Kooks.

Me: Enough said.

To quote another definition:

If you consider yourself emo and listen to Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, All-American rejects, or Hawthorne Heights then your probably a scenesters for you follow a so-called trend or in this case scene.

Now here's something to chew on kiddies:

Much as I hate labels let's say I am a prep and I listen to the Sex Pistols. Does that make me punk? I think not.

Now let's say I am emo and happen to listen to one of the bands named above. Does that make me a poser?

Especially if I never claimed that the band was emo, I simply enjoy the music.

It's kind of sad that our characters should be judged by what kind of music we listen to. Maybe we should get to know people before we judge them.

Girl thinks of me and my friends as scenesters because we wear lots of black clothes, make up, and nail polish, and like metal, and punk rock.

Girl is stupid enough to voice her opinion.

I punch her in her face and tell her to learn a little bit more about me before she goes judging me because I SEEM to fit into a certain stereotype.

An excuse that the lady in a video on the internet, entitled "EMO IS DEAD" gave for kids who consider themselves emo to use instead. For example you are basically someone who follows a trend or scene, like no offense in some cases a poser.

If you consider yourself emo and listen to Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, All-American rejects, or Hawthorne Heights then your probably a scenesters for you follow a so-called trend or in this case scene.

Emo is dead, those kids who all have thick-rimmed broken glasses who buy their clothes at the thrift store and cry a lot and hate life and cut themselves either like stereotypes, have serious mental problems, or are called scenesters.
