What the hell is 'Scene'? not a trick question.

Sun Jul 26, 2009, 4:33 PM
okay guys I think i'm offically old. Like, seriously officially old. Coming up in the 80's and 90's I've pretty much have been either Punk, Metal or Grunge in my dress and life styles. At some points my Metal phase (which, BTW is still very much alive within me) had encroached upon a sort of weird amalgalm of metal and Goth. any given day I wore black or dark blue jeans, black boots/ sneakers, metal band shirt and a flannel. I more or less haven't shaved (or haven't gone more than a few weeks without shaving) since the age 15.

After High school Goth had (from what i've seen) replaced pretty much metal in my old HS interms of 'alternative style'. I was OK with that becasue I honestly understood the goth movement. After Goth came 'emo' which is where my dissassociation with things has begun. I don't get the 'Emo' movement and recently found all that all these great songs by Fallout Boy were- infact- all songs by completely different bands that all sounded Identical to Fallout Boy. so shitty music and people whine alot- ok fine have fun. Gimme my Metallica.

then a few weeks ago a bunch of girls in their early 20s came in to the store wearing tigh black jeans and bright colored everything else. their was sprayed up a few inches and reeked of Aquanet. in short they looked like they walked out of the 80s. At first i thought they were at some kind of 80s night at a club but i've noticed since then a ton of teenagers coming around looking like the 80s. So if there are any 'scene kids' running around my DA site please indulge me in what the fuck is scene.

Scene has existed since Emo. It's actually just a bastardised version. Scene is straight-edge, whereas Emo is not. Scene kids do not do drugs, smoke, drink or enjoy the pleasures of sex. This is how it started, anyway.

Nowadays, the terms Scene and Emo are pretty much intrechangeable. Scene just means a kid follows everything that's trendy and Emo is the same thing, just a bit more sad.

If it doesn't make sense, it means you're normal.

Emo is basically just Goth kicked in the balls...Scene is the attempt at a younger generation trying to establish themselves under new identities...it's not really a new concept, but I've noticed that it's popularity radically increased with my sister's age...Emo was already done, and by the time the preteens reached "society" the time love for it had died down...

This is just from personal observation, though and Cassady's explanation is probably more understandable...but though I'm in the middle of it, I don't understand Scene at all.

scene kids have existed in every form of music at one point in time. in the beginnings of emo it was known as a form of punk but as it evolved and davey havok broke his assosiation with woman and punk the bands also broke away scene kids now are kids who are completely misguided and do the 80's glam punk (new york dolls etc) mixed with a desire for tissues and razor blades I don't think it quite borders on androgeny and i feel like to call it goth would require a complete misunderstanding of goth
