Scene

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. MySpace isn't as full of them, but if you look hard enough, you cna come across a few. The msot legitement Scenesters aren't well-known around the interweb. The first steps 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 hits its peak, 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.
