How To Be A Scene Kid

Steps

1. Become active on MySpace, and other social networking sites. Post a plethora of pictures of yourself and the shows you've been to. 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.
2. Get scene hair. You can have different colors in your hair, but it's not a must. Think 80's metal hair trimmed up with all the sophistication of today. It doesn't matter if you're a boy and your hair is longer; it doesn't matter if you're a girl with shorter hair; what matters is your ability to pull it off with confidence.
3. Wear eyeliner, whether you're male or female. If you know how to apply eyeliner, do it yourself, but if you are a novice, let someone who knows how to apply makeup do it for you. Males have a tendency to put a little too much makeup on their faces, while girls can wear as much or as little as they please.
4. 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.
   • 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!
5. 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.
   • 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
   • 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.
8. 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", "stellar" and "niggz."
   • When you do write comments on people's pictures, always end them with "xoxo" "x" or "<333" or some variation of thereof.
9. Go to shows. Shows are important, a
