Scene People
 

so, long story short, i had a terrible day and i'm pissed off mad because i saw a friend i haven't seen in ages and we sort of have a thing for each other but we can't be together, so i saw her today and we acted weird around each other. so when i left her i was pissed.

then, when i arrived home, i went to the store for a coke and on the way to my house i saw this scene girl standing around, she even had a hipster mullet and the uniform, everything. normally, i write scene people off because they are shallow and ironic and you know; but she was pretty and had my attention, i kept looking back to see her and couldn't stop turning around.

i wonder if it would be that bad if i had approached her and met her, i know you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but these people usually spoil the whole story on the cover; so what do you think? also, any scene people here?

I hate scene people. I hope you are talking about the same girl-jeans, white-belt, band shirts of horrible bands, and emo-hair cuts scene kids I am.

I wear girl pants and a cordouroy blazer. I'm not scene. My hair is normal and I'm white-belt free.

Wassup!

this is silly, why should you not talk to a girl because of her taste in music/clothes/fashion magazines? like ive said before, the only people who get pissed off at hipsters are hipsters themselves....

Well generally you shouldnt judge her just because of her fashion style, but usually people in this particular stereotype conform to all or most of the generalizations of the trend- music, fashion, personality, etc... For me I just like the fashion and the hair. There are exceptions to what scene kids act like; nearly all my friends are always really happy and some even have a decent taste in music.

I think if you really wanted to, you should have went ahead and approached her. What's the worst that can happen?

what scene are we talking about, the library club?

well, yeah, but i was pissed at my friend and maybe this girl i saw in the streets seemed hot to me at the time because she seemed like a girl i didn't know and was different from me and maybe i could start something new with someone else. maybe, if i wasn't pissed what have just thought "get a load of the trend mullet!". but then again, maybe she was hot period.

hayden: i know which ones you mean. this girl was more like the killers/interpol/strokes fashion indie scene, cheap expensive clothes, ironic 80's haircut...just as bad as the emo kids.

yeah, i guess i should have talked to her and get it over with, maybe she had that look because her friends were into that. i just imagined me getting mixed up with that kind of people.

I know a good line you could have used:

"When I look into your bright eyes, I say, "yeah yeah yeah!"

hahhahahhahahahahahhaaaa

priceless!!!!!

That's pretty hypocritical of you. You say you write them off as being dumb and shallow etc. etc. When your being exactly the same for only seeing what she looks like and not accepting that maybe she is intelligant blah blah.

I can't love a girl if she doesn't love rock and roll as much as I do.

Isn't the whole point of being scene to criticise other people for being scene and then lying and saying, "I'm not scene because I am [insert vapid nonsense]"?

Well, generally the point of it is for the attention and appearance. And interestingly enough, your example says it all. "I'm not scene, I'm fashionXcore, you're just a poser".

I think we're all a little bit 'scene' somewhere deep down inside. Whatever that means.

scene, no scene, if it's a hot girl, approach her-- later you can figure out if she's a dumbass or just an interesting person trying to be different but tapping into the wrong source.... then you can amaze her with your impressive record collection and fuck her all night listening to syr6--or better, 16 bitch pileup

yeah i know lot's of emo girls with the worst taste of music and yet they're hot! Most of these persons are pretty cool (atleast the ones i know) and i just try to get them into other bands :)

A bunch of people say I'm scene because my bangs fall into my eyes, but christ. That's it.

Emo people are horrible, but it's the kids in Abercrombie that talk about how much they love Fear Before The March Of Flames In Ashes Of Autumn In Siberia and wear eyeliner are the worst.

Ripped-up jean skirts with black stockings underneath is probably the most original look ever.

hahahah!!!! you get reps for that!

there's a bunch of scenesters in my town. it seems as if it happened overnight. a bunch of kids saw garden state and heard the postal service now they're all "teh kingz and queenz of teh scene!" but they don't know anything about music outside of the indie that's borderline mainstream (decemberists, deathcab, and all that other garbage) and don't bother to try and expose themselves to any music that's really worth a damn. that's what's wrong with "teh scene."

but i still think girl pants are comfortable, though.

I don't mean to be funny or confrontational, but do you mean that what's wrong with the scene is that they don't expose themselves to worthwhile music? What objective perspective of music does that come from?

I might generally dislike the music which scenesters listen to, but I'm sure they have reasons for liking it. Scenesters aren't synonymous with ignorance, I don't think. It's kind of dangerous territory to take the musical highground when all that is is opinion.

And really, Deathcab for Cutie did do one good song. It was that good one. Maybe they did two.

oh! garden state! gack! most fucking OVERRATED movie of the century
what a poser piece of shit!!

I just wrote a song and the chorus goes:
'can I be seen in your scene?
can I be heard in your herd?
can I click in your clique?'

The term Scene is slippery, but I've had a recent experience with a friend from childhood that I recently started seeing again who is 'in' with some of the better known bands in my area. I definitely get 'scene' vibes from her, because her life seems to revolve around the people who have the most musical cred or noteriety. We are alright friends, but I really feel I'd hear more from her if my band was more popular. haha.

awesome use of homonyms CHOUT.

I wouldnt say i hate scenesters, its more of a pity. I only disrespect them, but they are alright people, if you talk to them without their massive groups of friends.

You know what i dont get, though? how can they be so big on music when the music they listen to is so bland and terrible?

The first song off their first album is their only good song.

I didn't mind the album "We have the facts and we're voting yes", but that's the only one find decent. The new one seems really unfocused.

no, what's wrong with "teh scene" is that for the kids in my town, it's more about the image than the music, which makes no sense considering that it's a "scene" that's supposed to be immersed in music.

and no...deathcab didn't have that one good song.

but why are we debating the ins and outs of "teh scene" anyways?

i always thought that would be wayyy awkward, going up to a stranger and start talking to her. esspecially with the intentions of possibly hooking up.

i dont know if i could do that...

do they really bother you THAT much? you have nothing better to do then sit around and judge how importat music is to OTHER PEOPLE?! you need a fucking hobby

Basically. I am not myspace scene. I am just an artfag or something. There is no scene here but kids who like the Blood Brothers and Scary Kids Scaring Kids.

it seems like the blood brothers get a lot of shit because so called "scene kids" like them and so they get played off of as whiney little bitches when really they write incredible lyrics and music

I enjoy them somewhat. They are still scene as all hell.

who the fuck cares. they're incredibly good.

i'm an indiefuck

I care.

I am an indiefuck as well. I have on red girl cordorouys right now.

I don't like Blood Brothers.

Scene kids are great. Dressing alike = A+ work; great inside jokes about robots are only matched by an intelligent conversation about how Radiohead has saved the world; iPods with Pitchfork-approved songs; against drugs but drink coffee . . .

It is really the only way to live.

hahahahahahaha

says the guy who's bitching about a comment on a thread about scenesters.

well, there's a fact that scenesters only listen to less than half of the music they like, they say they like certain bands to be in with their crowds.

and yeah, it seems to me they are more about the fashion than anything else.

i like burn piano island burn from the blood brothers, i didn't like crimes and i don't like the earlier stuff much, they sound way to much like heroin and angel hair.


well, i wasn't really trying to hook up, i was feeling bad about my lady friend and thought that if i talked to someone different i didn't know, maybe it would bring something better to my life. it is awkward and i never thought i could do it either, i just sometimes do it. never for hooking up though.

and i also get called scene sometimes because i comb my hair in a cowlick. i get called scene by people who don't know scene, actually; i'd be talking about hipsters and shit and they go "kinda like you?"
