Scene kids ba da da

Oh, where to even begin with this one? There are so many things I could say. Ill try to be nice on this one.

Definition I found on Urban Dictionary.com : A 'scene kid' is a person who conforms to the current trends promoted by the punk/goth/emo/hardcore music genres in order to appear cool.

Now I am a pop culture minor in school so I understand that this is what is be marketed to kids today so of course a lot of them are going to pick up on it. But, the thing that gets me is they think they are being unique by dressing this way. I'm sorry to burst your little bubble but there are millions dressing like you.

The latest trends in music is what has really started this style. Yet I notice these bands, if you look back to before they were big they still dressed like that. It's not because they wanna be cool, it's just how they dress.

It's not only how these kids dress though it's their attitudes and how they like anything that is cool at that moment. I can't tell you how many of these "scene hipsters" I've almost got into physical fights with at shows. There is little to no respect for anyone but themselves.

I don't wanna hear you whining that your "perfectly" teased hair is going to get fucked up from being in the crowd. Go sit in the back then. And "omg people are touchingg me" well no shit hunny you are at a concert with lots of people crowded in one area some one is gonna touch you. And no, so and so is not going to fuck you. You are like 15 years old, none of them want rape charges. Plus some musicians have a girl waiting for them back at home that they don't want to lose.

And if they aren't bitching they are being completely rude. I don't care if you are not there to see the band that is currently on stage, do not be talking shit about them. There is someone around you who probably likes them. Every band has to start out as an opener. So instead of being close minded that you only wanna see who you came for listen to some new music. Also don't be bitches to people who are in the front row. If they have that front row they probably sat outside hours before doors to get it. Don't weasel your way in there then wonder why you are about to get in a fight. And stealing? What the hell? I saw some girl have a camera stolen out of her back pocket by these little "cool" scene kids. Its not cool to steal.

But back to the clothing. Why must you wear something because it is cool to wear. You should get something because you like it, you want to wear it, you feel comfortable in it, and because it looks good on you. I can't tell you how many girls I have seen in wayyyy too tight of jeans, shirts and way too much make up. Yes, I've been guilty sometimes of attempting to get stuff that I shouldn't but my friends let me know that it is not something I should wear. Friends don't let friends be muffin tops. If something does not look good on you don't just wear it because it is cool. Find something that is your's and make it work for yourself.

I can't say that I don't wear clothes that can appear to be scene. But I buy them because they are cute to me. I feel comfortable in them. I do look at pop culture for idea's for clothing but I will never be one to dress a certain way because I want to be cool. Losing that individuality is not something I am up for.

So take a step back, and re think what you are doing. Do you really wanna look back on this time in your life and see that you only followed a trend to be cool?
