Scenesters Options

[*Kathleen*]

What's your definition and opinion of 'em? Just curious.

[rockstermonkey]

I think scenesters are those who are obsessed with whatever the current trend is. Like right now, dinosaurs and black hair and stuff like that. Eh, I don't really mind it. Unless they try to shove it in your face and say things like "SCENEXCORE". Thats just annoying.
But whats up with the tight pants thing? That is the creepiest part. They are like REALLY REALLY REALLY TIGHT

[islandkiss]

"scenesters"? i've never heard of that term

[*incoherent*]

"scenesters"? i've never heard of that term

[JlIaTMK]

I think they would be a nice addition to my childrenofthepenisvol.2.

scenesters - [ noun ] -- pathetic child who cannot find acceptance in any other " highschool click " ; resorts to what the Featured Content of Xanga.Com with the 7 X's in the screen name likes and goes from there ; one who tells people that their [[ as in not their own ]] music is : " poser-ish " , " unXcore " , or one of my personal favourites " non-emo " . see also " people who are ruining good music like Led Zepplin and Pink Floyd by making themself seem cool by wearing the Dark Side of the Moon t-shirts 3 sizes too small and pants that are too small for their little sister " , or see " one who bitches about own life that is perfectly well and attempts to play with make-up , only to result in *utter disaster "

* - this , kiddos , is not the kind of utter disaster that should be veiwed upon as " Kewl " or anything , rather hideously ugly ... as like the preps you so make fun of .

yeah ... i'm not into the scenseters ... they really fcuked up music and style ... set our teenage society back a few years ... NOW QUIT WITH THE DAMN DINOSAURS FOR PETES SAKE IF THE KID BEFORE YOU DIDNT LIKE EM YOU WOULDNT EITHER ...

boys - girls clothes and make-up are meant for girls . hands off .
girls - make-up is not supposed to be caked on . layers are layers , not about 7,000 shirts you cut up or skirts over your jeans .

wow ... that was fun ...

Let's play the vocab game. Which one's spelled incorrectly?

You realize that this adds even more to the fact that people make up their own definition for "them".

[*incoherent*]

^
good point.

its not "click" its "clique".

i give you kudos .

1 - i probably did spell everything in mine wrong
2 - and yes , people do make up their own definitions . now i should state that i dont hate every " scene " kid ever encountered , but the people who basically have the " my way or the highway " philosophy really grind my gears .

but then again , we all have our own views and expirences .

Oh? Was that your definition. I thought it was one off of urbandictionary or something like that.
It's fine, lol, I was just kidding about "clique" being mispelled.

[jennyjenny]

Scene kids? They're so hXc.

justkidding.

Some girl with black hair, thick black plastic glasses, makes her own clothes, has some sort of ring other than on the ears. Are trendy.

there's not much over here, though.

[nopattern]

I think they're something similar to a poseur. They act or make themselves like a certain genre of music and try and fit in with the people who actually do like it. Just try and go along with the current trend, which happens to be "emo" and "hardcore" or whatever right now.

[d0t0rg]

I don't mind them or any kind of poseur as long as they don't mouth off acting like they know what they're talking about. 10 bucks I know more about their scene than them. Damn post-indie rock bands.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Scenesters scene,scene kids are people that follow the latest cool thing to be. At the moment the scene is emo. You can tell a scenester from an emo kid from how they dress and how they talk

Girls Fashion:-
Tight Pants
Cheap Pumps
Dyed Black hair cut straight across the eye brow
Footless tights
3 belts

Boys Fashion:-
Tight (girl) Pants
All black converse
Dyed black hair swept across the face(sometimes with a blonde streak)
3 belts

About 90% of these scenesters like little kid things. i.e. Disney Movies, Dinosaurs, Hello Kitty, Power Rangers, etc. etc.
Most pictures you see of these scenester kids, they're making kissy faces or they have a peace sign up to their face with some odd, unusual facial expression.
Most scenesters are straight edge.
Some scenesters wear exotic make-up, not all, but some.
Most of them write <3 or some weird lyric from a song or band name on Converse shoes with a permanent marker.
Most like to give high fives to each other when they agree.

The term "Scene" usually deals with Hardcore/Fashioncore kids. Guys and Girls who are usually (almost ALWAYS) Egotistic, Self-Centered, Narcissistic. Loves taking pictures of themselves. The pictures usually consist of the scene he/she throwing a peace sign and making a sassy facial expression. The scene he/she with big glasses. The scene he/she with their hand almost covering their mouth and the eyes to the side as if they were saying "uh oh". Finally, the scene he/she with his or her crew. Many pictures are photoshopped to make them look as "Sex" as can be. They spend hours on their myspace making it look as trendy as possible. Talk to people they will never meet for hours on end. These kids are cocky. They will tell you they think they're ugly and show you the 1,000 pictures proving it. They are better then you according to them. They love to "bring the hang out" with all of their scene friends. Many will call themselves straight edge yet share nude pictures and drink because "they are sad". Scene kids make fun of others who aren't like them. Many scene kids think they are non-conformist, although you take a look through myspace and you'll see a million others just like them. They quote movie lines over and over showing the lack of originality they actually have. They LOVE using slang and talking like a "thug". Scene kids also love to write notes to others and take pictures of themselves with the note in hand. The Vegan scenesters are usually vegans because it's "cool" not because they have a love for animals. They love throwing their sassy ass into the pit and giving everyone a taste of their hardcore dance. I've seen many kids at shows watch the "Hardcore pit" and not the band. I could honestly go on for a while but I'm sick of thinking about it.

So pretty much all of that....

Exactly.

[Ington]

Scenesters is just like the name suggests.

They can camouflage themselves in society.

IE: If the current 'in' scene is punk, they could be seen dressed up punk. After about a week, if the scene changes to gothic, they can be seen dressed as goths.

They basically change with the scene.

Damnit.

What do the X's stand for, Kathleen? (I want her to answer, please nobody else answer that question)

[*Kathleen*]

xXx = straight edge
And trust me, I've been straight edge way before these scene kids have been calling themselves straight edge. Of course, you're assuming I'm scene, right?

[NoSex]

As of now, there is no real reason to yell out to the world that you are "straight edge." It only serves as pretencious social filing. There is just no practical reason to be doing such today. It only works as an elitist call.

The straight edge movement died a long time (Before either of us were even born) ago with Minor Threat. MacKaye knew it was all about personal choice, not ideology. Today it is increasingly meaningless and obscured.

You can make personal choices without writing X's on the back of your hands and wearing camo. You are abstinent, we understand that. There is already a word for that. When you try to make it something it's not, you just become pretencious, arrogant, and elitist. It's just not attractive.

Just so you know; I've never done any of that stuff. That's my own personal philosophy.

Boston Beatdown Vol. 2!

[verlorenrivets]

At shows that served alcohol, they would put a black X on your hand if you were a minor and could not partake of the bar. The people who didn't want to be a part of the drinking and stupid violence that followed, regardless of their age, started marking the back of their hands with an X before they even got to the show. These were the real Straight-edgers. They abstained from this, not to be cool, but out of true distaste for the sex and drug culture of the time. They often had to deal with ill response to their choice, something I'm sure you've never gotten before you met me and Acid Bath Slayer. Real Straight-edge ended a long time before I was even born.

You're elitist, and scene as hell. That's a bad thing. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

Lol some straight edge person you are then. xXx doesn't stand for straight edge, sXe does. It's about self control.

[*disco infiltrator*]

^ Lol, some trendwhore you are then.

Are you kidding me? She's not a "real" straight-edge person because she doesn't use the right freaking symbol?

Why the hell do you need a symbol to tell you what "group" you belong to? Why can't you just do your own thing?

I don't do drugs, I don't drink, and I'm a virgin, but I don't need a symbol to tell me that, nor do I need a symbol to tell others that. Anyone who knows me knows I don't do that stuff.
