Dinosaur, or for short, Dino, was originally the great animals that roamed our earth from the Triassic period to the Cretaceous millions of years ago.

Now, the mighty creatures have been reduced to nothing but a idiotic scene fad.
"Rawr! I'm a dinosaur! They're so like omg cute!"

**note
I do not know how scene kids... well... communicate would be the appropriate word. I'd have to lower my IQ by several points to probably get it right.

the word "Dinosaur" is slang for Heroin...

(not the syringe and not the "a band or belt that one would use to make their veins more visible")

Calling heroin the "dinosaur" came from an earlier slang used for Heroin "Tar". It's a common belief that dinosaurs became fosil fuel or "tar-like" over millions of years... The La Brea tar pits (in Los Angeles, CA) is an example.

The other slang contributing to the use of the "Dinosaur" meaning heroin is the saying "monkey on your back" referring to any addiction controlling you.

In the song Pool Shark by sublime Brad sings "tying on the Dinosaur tonight. ...use to be so cool."

Here he is referring to how his recreational heroin habit had grown into a full blown uncontrollable addiction. Describing his "monkey" as a "dinosaur" he had on his back can be interpreted many ways.
Brad was acknowledging the enormity of his problem, his increasing consumption, his inability to control it and also acknowledging the fact that all heroin addicts face extinction every time they get high... extinct ...like a dinosaur.
Tragically poetic!

The "tying on" or "tying off" is slang for the process of finding a vein to shoot up or more so ...the complete ritual of shooting up any drug to get high... but I digress.
I'm gonna shoot that "dinosaur" tonight.

Lyrics from "Pool Shark" by Sublime

"I like lying naked in my bedroom
Tying on that dinosaur tonight
It used to be so cool...
But, now I got that needle and I can shake
but I can't breathe.
You take it away but, I want more and more
One day I'm gonna lose the war."
-Brad Nowells (1968–1996)

a now extinct creature that had once walked the planet. scientists have theorys of how they became extinct.

emo//scene kids usually like this animal && call it a "dino".
they will use it as a name on their myspace or screen name.
they will have cartoon pictures of dinosaurs on their myspace also.

personally, its my favorite animal, along with the giraffe. :
dinosaurs:
tyranosaurus rex
stego saurus
brontosaurus
triceratops

an emo//scene kid may combine a type of dino saur and "rex"
e.g. brontosaurus rex;; stegosaurus rex;; etc.

Extinct creature that used to terrorize the prehistoric land, and now terrorize the hearts of modern people.
The ride became more frightening with the appearance of the dinosaur.

A species that no longer exists due to Chuck Norris sneezing.
When Chuck Norris sneezed, the dinosaurs died and the Ice Age started.
