<p>How to Be a Scene Kid</p>
<p>While a contemporary term for hipster or bohemian and other insiders of art related movements, scene kids are also associated with listening to screamo, techno, punk rock, indie rock, and hip hop, or other forms of unconventional music. If you want to be a scene kid, here are some suggestions to help you along your way.
Steps
Become active on Myspace, Stickam, Buzznet and other social networking sites. Post a tons of pictures of yourself and the shows you’ve been to. These should all be at strange angles [usually from above and a little to the side]. Mastering scene=style photo-taking will take a while, so remember to practice. Don’t put up too many pictures before you know how to take good ones, however, or you’ll just look dumb. Add as many friends as you can, including random scene kids, and check out what they are listening to. Download every song ever recorded by that band and research the band’s history. Look up the band on iTunes and you’ll see a bunch of other probably scene bands under ‘Users also Bought’. Download every song by these bands too, and soon you’ll be well-educated in scene music.
Get Scene Hair. Scene hair is usually black or bleached blonde and sometimes has random neon streaks such as pink or green in it, but this is not a must. Its usually very big and puffy at the top, the size of this depending on the length of your layers. There are many variations of scene hair, so feel free to invent your own, but be warned that it may not turn out to be scene in the end. The hair is the most important part of a scene kid: if you don’t have the hair, you really have nothing. Also, get the hair before you start dressing like a scene kid, or you’ll be called a poser.
Wear eyeliner. Black eyeliner is a must for all scene kids, especially the girls. I would suggest to start out with the pencil eyeliner, as it is easier to apply and doesn’t get as messy if you make a mistake. Once you get better at applying this, you can gradually start using liquid liner. Liquid is good for getting that cat-eye look, and looks very neat - but be warned, its easy to mess up. There are many variations of eyeliner. Wings on the outside of the eye tend to be popular. Make sure both eyes are symmetrical, or you’ll end up looking like an idiot.
Wear skinny jeans or straight leg jeans. While the tighter the better, find a decent fit for you, because no one will talk to you if you look like a fashion victim. Girls are recommended to have tight form-fitting jeans in a vintage or dark wash. Ripped jeans are also acceptable, and once you start developing your own style you can wear different washes and styles - but remember that they must ALWAYS be skinny!
Girls can also wear denim skirts or black stretch skirts, as long as a decent pair of leggings are worn underneath (remember, you can never go wrong with a pair of solid black leggings).
Guys should find a decent fitting pair of girl jeans, or somewhat of a fitted straight leg jeans as well. The tighter the better, but remember that the rest of us do not want to be able to see the vein in your thigh through your jeans!
Boys pull your pants up really high. It makes you look like a scene kid.
Peg the bottom of your jeans/pants and roll them up an inch or two to show off your socks. You can pull your socks over the bottom of your pants if long enough. Two different color socks look good.
Stock up on band shirts and graphic shirts. If you’ve done your music research, load up on classic band t-shirts (i.e. Enter Shikari). Get the tightest fitting t-shirt, within reason. Don’t wear crew necks often, as they can be very unflattering.
Scene kids should listen to “Conway Twitty”, “Jimmy Buffet”, “Harry Chapin” and “Brook Benton”.
Look for shirts that have the “old” feel. If you can actually find a vintage shirt, more scene points.
Anything with Pokemon on it is automatically accepted, as are shirts with foil prints on them.
Shirts with spiders, cobwebs, birds, brains, Disney characters, skulls, dinosaurs, and the like are also acceptable.
Get classic shoes. Start with Vans Classics, or some Converse, then branch out to any style of Vans you want.
For girls, ballet flats and other formal low heeled shoes, also boots of any kind are accepted. Also Very Bright Shoes that are Colorful and Mostly Nike or Lakai.
Accessorize.
If you’re a girl, invest in necklaces that have spiders, broken hearts, owls, Hellokitty, keys, cobwebs, skulls, and the like.
Oversized sunglasses with thick black or white frames are acceptable, and cat-eye frames are another good choice. Wear a shape that flatters your face. If your face is round, wear square glasses, if your face is square, wear round glasses, and if your face is oval, wear whatever you prefer.
Girls should wear plenty of pastel-colored hair barrettes, clips, ribbons, and bows.
If you’re a guy, keep your keys dangling on the side with a carabiner attached to a belt loop.
Take up the scene writing style.
Add extra letters to many of your words. For example: “rawwr” “kiiid” “kayyy” “baaby”.
Spelling your name in odd ways is popular as well, as is giving yourself a second name in addition to your first.
Use scene lingo like “rad”, “Ace”, “stellar” and “niggz.”
When you do write comments on people’s pictures, always end them with “xoxo” “x” or “<333” and even little smiley faces like “:]” or some variation of thereof.
find videos of audrey kitching or Avista Amuyan using scene lingo that will help alot
Go to shows. Shows are important, and all scene kids know everything about their music. If you know some local bands, be their friends, and brag about it.
Girls should mosh at shows. People hate scene girls that don’t mosh.
Wear what flatters your body; looking put together and dressing your body well never goes out of style.</p>
<p>Tips
Don’t try to change in one day, a week or even a month gradually change and it may take 6 months to a year maybe even longer.
Make sure your scene hair isn’t too wild, or you won’t get enough adds on MySpace.
Some people will hate you. Those people ******* punks, ska kids, and most members of the scene or local visitors of the local venue that are not scene kids. Don’t label people, and then they might not hate you. You are all people, not separate species. Essentially, you’re all the same.
Don’t limit yourself to one scene style, as there are many; Glamour scene and glamcore are also scene. They just have more to do with designer labels</p>
<p>Warnings
Don’t act scene after just one day, as you’ll be called a poser. You want to know everything about being scene before you actually label yourself as scene. You shouldn’t label yourself in the first place. Just be you.
Don’t dye your hair too often or else you will damage it.</p>
