Since the 2007 downfall of the Scene trend, there are less Scenesters out there. However, it has been picked up by the younger generation. These kids are usually 13-16. Sadly, you may also see 10-12 year olds trying it out, then failing epically. A lot of things are different, yet the foundation of the Scene is mostly the same.
The first stage of the Scene, sometimes labeled ‘elektrikk’ evolved into ‘br00tal’, which now has come to what I’d call “new age scenesters”

MUSIC:
2008 = screamo, post-hardcore, electronic/dance, acoustic
AS OPPOSED TO
06/07 = deathcore, grindcore, hardcore
2005 = pop punk, emo

HAIR:
2008 = teased, less crazy and dead bird-like, brown gaining popularity
06/07 = teased to dead bird-like state, strictly black or white blonde
2005 = short, choppy, black

STYLE:
2008 = standard vans/converse, skinny jeans, band t-shirts, graphic/vintage, plastic jewelry, bandanas
06/07 = skin-tight black skinny jeans, black skirts+leggings, plastic jewelry
2005 = (same as 2008 scenesters)

MAKE UP:
2008 = dark eyeliner, colored or no eye shadow
06/07 = black eyeliner, cat-eye or winged out, black eye shadow, fake moles
2005 = (same as 2008 scenesters)

ATTITUDE:
2008 = resembling normal people. some are conceited and pull a “SUP IM BETTA DEN U” move
06/07 = total elitist snobs. Arrogant, cocky, stuck-up, etc. Only talk to people as amazing & trendy
2005 = more snobby than new age scenesters, but not as bad as the br00tal kids.

Many bystanders claim that the Scene is dead and that anyone who still continues to follow it is a try-hard/poseur. However, this is not always the case. Scene is much like the Punk & Goth styles. It hit its peak and witnesses the best of times, but they decline, and fall into near extinction. Same with the Scene trend. The main followers have grown up to be 16, 17, and 18 year olds who no longer take part in compulsive hair coloring or MySpace whoring. However, the younger generation continues to keep it alive for a few last breaths of air.

scene boy: very tight skinny jeans, tight band tees, black vans, dark hoodies, dark straight hair sometimes hanging over their eyes, piercings and tattoos, studded belts, saggin pants so you can see their boxers, friendship bracelets, guages, listens to screamo or post hardcore, goes to shows and listens to local screamo bands, SExXY, SExXY, SExXY, usually a very fun and friendly personality if they like you, sometimes straightedge, oh and they are extremely SExXY,SExXY, SExXY

Scene Kid = Chav/Townie + Emo/Goth

my reasons why.
A typical Scene Kid boy will be wearing
-Skinny Jeans
-Tight colourful t-shirt
-New Era hat
-Nike Airforce 1's
Scene Kids, wear apparel of sport brands (usually Nike or Adidas Originals) and various other famous brands (Vans checkered shoes, or band t-shirts). Scene kids are happy fellows unlike Emos, of whom most scene kids detest. But scene kids have some emo traits, like dyed hair (not usually black but can be), skinny jeans, straightened hair, piercings - SCENE KIDS DO NOT CUT THEMSELVES!

Popular Scene Kid Traits
- myspace
- pokemon (or some other old fashion)
- going to gigs/concerts
- hanging around town centres
- talking weird or pretending they're gangster

Scene Kids will say things like
"br00t4l"
"rawr"
"orgasmic"
"you are the sex"
"myspace me fer-sure"

Typical music interests for scene kids:
- trancecore
- hardcore
- grime
- nu rave
bands could include:
hadouken!
bring me the horizon
klaxons
from first to last

So, here's my definition for scene.
LET'S JUST MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I'M NOT WITH OR AGAINST THIS KIND OF PEOPLE.
Typical scene kid
* has over 5000 friends on myspace.
* tries not to fix their myspace page too much, to make it sound like they don't give a shit about it.
* they constantly say they have a life outside of myspace.
* their myspace urls include words like: drug, killer, phsycho, millionaire, malice, gore, vanity, miss, massacre, panic, doll, brutal, terror, etc; including a trademark next to it.
* They join a gazillion trains, to get as many scene friends as possible.
* Most of them are vegan and are members of PETA.
* They use extensions and dye their hair of different colors just to seem cool. they dye it not only of a rainbow color, they can have their hair covered with an animal print, like zebra or leopard, zig zags, stripes or anything that will make them look unique.
* Girls commonly have black or blonde hair, combined with more than 2 colors or patterns. super straight, by the way.
* Guys may dye it also. Most of them have black hair, with a splash of a white, blonde or red color.
* Girls use bows, pins, headbands, etc.
* They have a weird obsession with diamonds, bats, dinosaurs, crowns, brass knuckles, hello kitty, gloomy bears and ugly dolls; God only knows why.
* They claim they are straight edge, when in fact, they take pictures of themselves holding a cigarette and looking away like saying 'help me'.
* They listen to music that only 10 or 15 people have listened to. Some example are: the black dahlia murder, job for a cowboy or a life once lost. They may listen to rap songs ocasionally.
* They think it's hilarious when they talk to other scene kids with a ghetto or gangster style.
* Their myspace picture's captions are random song, book or movie lines that don't have anything to do with the picture but they make it sound deep, confusing and amusing.
* Most of them idolize the suicide girls, which are scene girls covered with tattoos, posing naked or half naked for this site.
* Christine dolce, another icon for the scene community; as well as Jeffree star, audrey kitching, jac vanek, raquel reed, hanna beth or clint catalyst. WHAT do they do? oh they dye and style hair, that's what has made them completely e-famous and a bunch of scene queens.
* Kiki kannibal, the most annoying person ever, who claims to be a scene queen, and that she has brought back stripes and made bats and diamonds a trend. (How pathetic, right?). She is worshipped night and day by innocent and new in the scene community kids.
BACK TO THE TOPIC:
* this is the uniform scene kids wear:
- Tight, dark and skinny jeans.
- metal/indie/screamo band t shirt.
- vintage stuff.
- Girls wear flats or the glamxcore ones wear 9 inch stilettos.
- Boys wear converse, vans, etc. NEVER flip flops.
- scene boys would never be caught dead with a beard or a moustache.
- Both sexes would be find wearing TMNT, power ranger, invader zim or any horror movie shirts.

* They use about 10 layers of make up, with extremely bright neon eyeshadows, fake eyelashes, etc.

* They may appear mean and arrogant. Even though most of them are, they just pretend to be it.
* They claim to be beautiful, special, unique and most of all, vain, unlike emo kids.
* They aren't that emotional.
This is all you need to know about this kids.
AREN'T THEY THE SHIT?

"Scene" is a sort of subgenre, a mixture of emo and preppy. You can usually spot a scene kid from miles away by their bright, attractive eyeliner/hair colors. Scene boys and scene girls both wear tight girl jeans; usually of the drainpipe variety. Scene girls are often found in attractively arranged if not totally random outfits, which consist of tight jeans, cute tee shirts or thermals with things like hello kitty, the teenage mutant ninja turtles, or power rangers on them. Vans slip ons, usually checkered, make up the majority of their footwear, as well as ballet flats, and just plain flats. Occasionally, wedges, too. Their outfits vary from person to person; vintage sweaters and vests are also popular, as well as tight, gray or black zip up hoodies. And band tee shirts are a must, mostly for metal bands, however, with incomprehensible writing on them and some drawing of a person being eviscerated, and the like. White studded belts are also popular. They also wear large, chunky necklaces, pearls, et cetera.

For boys, it's pretty much the same, however, instead of flats, they're inclined to wear skate shoes, and large "gangster" hats are popular as well. Both genders tend to have lots of piercings, such as a septum, monroe, and the less popular septum. Mostly, they've got a piercing on one side of their lip, and gauges in their ears. Scene boys hair is more often a plain color, such as black or red or brown, as opposed to the myriad of colors that girls can covet. Both usually possess choppy, over-one-eye hairstyles, though they sometimes have mod bangs, too.

Boys can wear eyeliner, though it isnt as encouraged as it is in the emo culture, and girls wear as much or as little as they please. Scene girls are also pretty obsessed with designer labels, such as Chanel and Dolce & Gabanna. Also, both can be seen wearing clothes from stores such as Hollister and Abercrombie. Sidekick 3's are very often used by scene kids. Scene boys are usually a lot less nice than scene girls, though, obviously, it depends on the person. Straight edge is becoming less and less trendy, though a lot of scenesters still are. Christianity and vegetarianism are both pretty trendy, however.

Emo kids and scene kids are completely different, and are not to be confused. Scene kids are more into the 'local scene,' and to the majority of them, music means everything. They'll always be spotted at local shows, concerts, coffeeshops, etc. Scene girls are usually obsessed with fashion, and fashion magazines (i.e. Vogue, and Teen Vogue). Fake eyelashes are also highly associated with scene girls, and they often shave off their eyebrows and pencil them on. Why, you ask? Nobody knows. False nails, and being extremely pale are pretty scene as well. Also, scene kids will always, always, always deny that they are scene. That's one of the many ways you can spot a poseur. After all, real scene kids are too scene to admit that they're scene.

Energy drinks are also highly popular with them, as well as Glaceau Vitamin Water. They also are prone to saying things such as "wdup blud," and "lawlz." Pretending to be a gangster is a big part of the scene image, and many scene kids even listen to rap. But it doesn't make them any less scene! Scene kids always have a myspace, or a xanga, or a facebook, or all three, as well. Their myspace display names are usually something along the lines of "______ Murder," "______ Homicide," etc, etc, though it varies with the person.

Myspace pages of theirs are often filled with songs that used to be popular, (i.e. Tainted Love, All the Small Things, and old rap songs-- you get the picture) and numerous photographs of their favorite designer logo, their alcoholic beverage of choice, and their cell phone. Hello Kitty is also highly popular with girls, as well as coloring books, black and white photographs, and a cityscape photograph. For boys, they often have pictures of admiring scene girls who make them signs, banners for bands that they like, and an energy drink they love.

in conclusion, scene kids r rad! lolz.

Ok scene is NOT to be confused with emo! Scene embodies a certaint style and attitude towards life , usually more postive than someone who might be emo. Im most definately not stereotyping, but there ARE some observations ive made....

Scene Kids are the new wave hardcore kids. Often mistaken for emo because of people's ignorance. They are actually a happy new trend. They are the other half of the hardore civil war (meatheads vs scene kids) they also listen to screamo, techno, punk rock, indie rock and hip hop. All scene kids style and straighten their hair. Most wear eyeliner (not to be confused with emo eyepaint), girl pants and tight band/splash paint style shirts. It is rare to see a scene kid without converse shoes but, vans or retro shoes are also in their list of clothing accessories. THEY DO NOT CUT THEIR WRISTS... like I said before they are not emo and tend to dislike EMOtionaly unhappy people. In more urban areas scene kids carry hand guns and are more gang like. Most scene kids go to shows regularly and are seen in pits hardcore dancing.

scene kids can be male or female.Usually seen 'where the scene is' wearing black and/or neon colours.
Girls;
ADORE the bright coloured eye shadow, black eye liner is very popular along with hair bows and other accessories.
Hair is usually STRAIGHT,choppy with bangs. Its is dark with a few bright colours that jump out at you.
skinny jeans of any colour are popular along with funky belts band t's and hoodys.They like cute stuff such as animé, hello kitty and other random stuff. They wear usually flats shoes (converse dollys vans or even dc's)
beads,piercings and especially pearls a common in scenes.

Boys;
eye liner is even popular with the boys, as is the bangs.The boys hair are usually shorter than the girls,still choppy with the colours.Skinny jeans usually darker colours funky belts,hoodys and band t's are common too. Dc's vans just flat shoes are acceptable in male scenes. piercings and tatoos are the norm too.

scene kids are generally nice people,known for being very hyper and as said 'where the scene is' into alot of different types of music and like going to concerts.They use words and phrases such as 'RAWR' 'you are the sex' and other funny phrases.very out oging and confident,never mix-up a scene kid with an emo. thats a no go

this description isnt telling you WHAT to be like if you are scene,its just the general look and stuff.i in no way mean to judge or tell people how to behave

hope this helps :D <3 xxx
