We're about to be tired of: Scene kids
I appreciate the right for teens and children to have their own fashion voice, but when they start attaching socially retarded mannerisms and ridiculous attitude to it, that's when I start to draw the line.
It's bad enough that we had to deal with the whole "I'm-so-tortured" emo look, now we have to deal with the "I'm-so-tortured-and-have-a-bad-attitude" look with this new trend for "Scene Kids."
Heavy eye makeup, tattered clothing, skinny jeans, Converse shoes, graphic T-shirts, Vans, dark (or blonde) hair, tiaras: all of these are necessities for Scene Kids. Basically, you have to look like Courtney Love during her earlier Hole days. Think emo, except more homeless-chic. This site gives you a full guide in how to be "scene"
I know what you're thinking: what makes this different from past youth subcultures like beatnik, hippie or even greasers? The difference is that it is just an excuse for the youth to be whiny and complain about their privileged lives.
For a full, in-depth look at this subculture and its harrowing battle with emo kids, read this. It will change your life forever.
