Glamour Kills is like the head cheerleader of scenester clothing lines: she’s been with every dirty band dude in basically every band on Myspace, and has all the little girls wanting to look just like her. She started out as any other clothing line, with a hardly genius logo, and tacky, neon graphics, but it doesn’t matter, just throw JaGK Barakat on Stickam with a GK shirt on, and its sure to be a hit.
From what the internet shows and tells me,Babycakes (or bbycks!!!) is the biggest fucking scenester movement in the entire United Kingdom. Like the cross-joint (if you haven’t seen Pineapple Express, fuck you.) of ultimate Brit-Brit scenesterism, Babycakes is:
-a clothing line
-a venue/store
-dance parties around the entire country of England
-record label
-a Myspace whore train. yes, a clothing company started their OWN whore train.
-and as their lovely bio says, “spawned by an orgy of glitter, flashing lights, icecream and electro pop”
Nothing is scener than being able to one up your friends by pulling out some deep meaning from a lyric or a poem thanks to your high school English class. Why just show off your fashion sense (or lack there of) when you can show off your (not so) profound intellect.
Great for making you sound like a pretentious asshole, scenesters love finding metaphors, double entendres, imagery, and puns in anything they can.
So, as our latest addition tohttp://stuffscenekidslike.com

you up with what is going to be “it” tomorrow, next week, in 3
years….or what should be it, but the scene is too busy making glitter
glue macaroni necklaces to notice.
We’re going to post videos, links, songs, quotes, pictures, all that fun stuff that you should probably get on…so check it out! Continue sending ideas and tips to the contact page, I read everything you send and there’s a great possibility that it could end up on the site.

So this weekend I headed down to NYC to spend the weekend visiting the fam, and scoping out my future home (I’m moving to the city in the fall). I knew NYC was the hispter/scenester place to be, but I didn’t realize to what extent…
Here are some of my scene-tastic findings: (click Continue reading for some flics and pics)
PS, in case you didn’t know. New York has its own breed of scenester: the hipster-scenester hybrid. You know, the people that went to every show at Knitting Factory, but still rep Williamsburg like its Jerusalem. As a friend of mine put it, they listen to Brand New and Arcade Fire
I hopped off the subway at St. Mark’s place and what do I find? Some girls playing the ukulele. Sorry the video quality is kind of shitty…I still haven’t gotten my flip cam. They gave me a great rendition of Tearin’ Up My Heart.
Travis at The Lomography store strapped 12 cameras around his neck, and hooked it up with an interview. All the little squares behind him are lomo prints. It was really an incredible little store, and it would get you scenesters squirming, wishing Urban Outfitters had some cooler fittings for your lomo. I’m totally itching for the Diana with the Instax back…NGL.
Wheatpaste: Nowhere in the world will you find as many wheatpastes as you will in NYC. Not only are they on every (previously) blank posting board and wood covering on construction sites, the majority of them are about indie movies, scenester; on the ~*DL~* bands, and dance parties in brooklyn. The Obama Roll: sushi + the new prez= scene as fuck. Pinkberry: The numero uno over priced frozen yogurt joint. There are knockoffs everywhere (see: Phileo in Philly, Yo Berry & Berry Line in Boston), but only in LA and NYC can you find Bronx, Ash and Pete’s fave dessert. I had Pomegranite with strawberries and bananas…..Froyo+pomegranate+overhyped name= s00p3r sc3n3.
Conclusion: In case you didn’t get the memo, New York City is the scenester capital of the East Coast. Be there or stick to lurking your local mall for other tools with pink hair and studded belts…..
