The most common are the ‘photographers’. After years of taking night mode pictures on her point and shoot, and swirling them around for “lighting effects” while sweating at the All Time Low barricade, Susie Suicide decided to ‘take things seriously’ and fork up the money for an SLR. Now, rocking the Nikon D40 (or the Canon Rebel; both are a big hit in the scene) she considers herself a ‘photographer’.
Her overly photoshopped snapshots with way too much contrast only make the band boys she lusts after look like aliens, and will never grace anything more than a fan space, or if she’s really lucky, a personal invite to ‘apprentice’ under the ever so prestigious Myspace page, Fueled By Photography.
To scene kids of suburbia, photography has been redefined as owning an expensive camera and waiting for the magic talent of photography to dawn upon them like a quarter from the Tooth Fairy.
What scenesters everywhere have so conveniently forgotten is that professional photographers use and manipulate things such as lighting and space in their shoots (because they actually have photoshoots). They have a method, and experience….something you can’t find on Myspace.
Note to all the baby scenebeans: the giant SLR on your neck is like Flavor Flav’s clocks: ridiculous looking, and serving zero purpose. For your own humiliation, stick to a point and shoot, and don’t drop out of middle school to shoot at The Bamboozle.
Now, on to our neverending spew of Myspace “promoters”. First and foremost, being a promoter means you book shows, at venues. It does not mean you post bulletins on Myspace with banners of Fearless Records‘ new up and coming bands. Secondly, if you’re on a street team that only has you do online missions, you’re at the bottom of the fucking ladder. If Fearless only trusts you with posting html codes, you’ve got a long long road until you’re working for Crush. Let’s get serious now…
Advertising that you (((PROMOTE!!))) In your Myspace name does not mean that you will get *~discovered, and start your dream of TMing any time in the next century.
Scene kids think they’re fooling everyone by trying to look the part, but anyone who is, or ever will be remotely relevant, can call your bluff, and see your neon up-do a mile away. So, cut the crap, actually go to shows, and don’t go putting “music promoter: myspace bulletin queen” on your resume anytime soon.

... i hate faux scene kids who think they are hot shit by dressing "scene" and not going to shows at all... and then i hate the kids who are like preppy bitches who dress in free people and go to shows, but stand around in the back like bimbos who are lost in the middle of a field in Kansas. and OMG. THOSE PROMOTER BITCHES!! I can't stand them. they just try to get to bands. nothing to put on the resume. it actually makes me sick. end of rant. hahaha |

... The one thing that pisses me off to no end is when people wear the bright flashy band shirts just because they look cool and "scene". Especially when I walk to them and say, "Oh you know ___? What's your favorite song?" and they look completely lost. |

UGH. I hate when girls wear band tee shirts, claiming it's their "favorite band", and they don't know more than three songs. It's rather pathetic. And I hate when girls try to be scene by JUST wearing band tees. Its too mainstream. Then they feel they have to slap Hello Kitty or Gloomy Bear or Domo on their body and then theyre scene. UGHHHHHGGGHHGG |

wow..O.O wow..really people?? i mean i know there are ALOT of posers and stuff out there..but there are actually real scene kids and shit. you actually gotta get to know them..and "scene" isnt JUST about the look..its personality too. and to think you guys can criticize "scene kids" when you have ur own lil style..its fine if u dont like it..but i mean COME ON! stop being imature, grow up, get a life..then MAYBE you can criticize people and what they like. |

said:

loolol rofl all ur comments are so pointless LOL, you're talking about how "better" you are by knowing songs from bands. They are shirts, nothing more nothing less. Are you going to argue about how people know the lyrics and some don't. Music appreciation is universal, doesn't matter how they do it, just be glad that the band you like is also liked by a lot of others and you can at least share some familiarity with the human race. Plus this post was about scene kids and photography not shirts and NOT knowing song names fuaarrkk. Which, in reference to the post; is quite pathetic. There is no such thing as "real" or fake scene kids, how can you be fake, you can only either be trying really hard to be something and then trying really hard to be well something, wait. There's no fucking difference you're just humans FARKK. I wouldn't be suprised at all if you're all scene kids posting on this. I just googled photography and landed on this, which makes me laugh because it's like trash. This post however has a good point. Most scene kids, just pick up a camera and claim to be pro photographers. I say pro, because anyone can say they are a photographer, it's the matter of how good and knowledged you are, but then again it's all about appreciation also. So who really cares, it doesn't really bother that much as a whole, because in alll honesty these scene kids never get far as doing crappy jobs for their friends. So I'd never have to work with such trash. |

Idiots... Wtf, really? I mean, a girl would come on this site & start saying how unoriginal scene kids are, telling them to be individuals, etc., while she's sitting at the computer friendless in her denim shorts & Hollister sweatshirt. Yeah, SCENES aren't individuals. Ok, to a POINT "scenes" aren't original. But it depends on the person. Most of the ones that you label as scene aren't really scene at all. Some kids just want people to know who they are by what they wear. I mean, a "normal" girl dresses the way she does because she wants people to know that she's not emo, goth, etc., right? Same here. Why should you care about what someone else looks like? It's not YOUR wardrobe. Maybe you guys should quit complaining about how annoying scene kids are & get a hobby :] |

Director of my own Scene:]
said:

woww. that was completely pointless:]. Leave posers to their stupidity. Real Scene kidz can tell who the other real ones are. Is art not still a person using some means of matter to make something creative? Like a painter to his paints and canvas are scene kidz to their music, hair, make-up, friends, and of course shows. People say it's stupid and unoriginal what all we do which is the same in it's own ways, but does every painter not use unoriginal colors to create a bigger beautiful picture? Leave us to our own devices because we aren't going to listen to h8erz. I'm surprised you have nothing better to do than criticize what other people want to do with their lives, you must be pretty unsatisfied with your own to do so. Pieces:] |

Discount MLB jerseys
said:

http://www.lovejerseys.com Discount MLB jerseys are your perfect choice during the hot summer also because they are comfortable to wear. Wearing the basketball jerseys, you will still feel the touch of wind rather than be boiled inside. As we all see, Discount MLB jerseys are generally made of cotton mesh, which absorbs sweat as well as permit air to enter. Take one of the most famous ever-been Discount for example, they are either made of mesh or dazzle. And the clothes like that is all that need in summer. |

WTF :/ I swear you all think ur so fucking cool just because u think ur real and what not when really u guys are the fake. who gives a flying rats ass if they wear a shirt n dont know the band name? they like the goddamn shirt. give them a fucking break! People who critize these people are just hating because thay have healthy natural hair and dont have to wear fake shit all the time. REMEMBER THIS! All of u who assume ur "scene" you used to be one of those people starting to get into the scene world. CUT THEM SOME SLACK! just becasue u reached your goal dont be a bitch to others k? Another thing....scene kids are ALWAYS saying how " OMG im sooooooo ugly" then they know they are good looking. i thought u were supposed to be confident? damn fakes. Leave people be. your never going to see them again in your life right? what are you going to gain from talking shit about someone? Nothing. Enjoy your life while u still have it. DONT DO DRUGS :3 |

>:/ I dress like a scene kid, but guess what? I don't claim to be scene. So, FUCK OFF. Jesus, you people take shit way too seriously theses days.. Remember, not everyone likes the same stuff! And to those who think scene kids all look alike, walk into any type of school or store and count how many types of styles there are. Preps all look alike. Jocks all look alike. Emos all look alike. Grow the fuck up and leave people alone..you don't see scene/emo/goth/punk kids bashing the style that's "in" do you? Let us all just be ourselves. For those who think scene kids aren't unique and are unoriginal.. I am fucking unique. I am fucking different. I dress in neon colored skinnies.I have that crazy-ass hair style. I love taking pictures or myself and friends. I have a million different colored chucks. I wear those band tees that will make you're eyes burn. I listen to screamo/electro/hardcore bands. But take the next scene kid you see, talk to them, and then compair them to the next one you see and tell me they're alike. WE ALL OUR DIFFERENT DISPITE HOW WE DRESS. |
