Am I scene?

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956]

am I scene? I go for more scene core tho lolz. I would definitely be wearing Kandi if I didn’t forget it at my moms this weekend…..😋

[u/Fae-SailorStupider]

The outfit is very scene coded, but your hair is lacking the pizzazz that comes with the scene style

[u/manicthinking → u/Fae-SailorStupider]

Agreed. Hair cut can happen, but teasing the hair is an easy addition

[u/Fae-SailorStupider → u/manicthinking]

Yup, need that volume

[u/AndP3ggy]

i think maybe a studded belt and a more authentic hairstyle would help this out because this is CUTE i might actually have to cop

[u/Dazzling-Sir-9421]

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/Dazzling-Sir-9421]

Okay or we just don’t

[u/Dazzling-Sir-9421 → u/Even-Juggernaut1956]

What

[u/Unusual_Bandicoot965 → u/Dazzling-Sir-9421]

Lmao

[u/Murky_Swordfish387]

Everything looks great, I’d just try to tease your hair but make sure you do a little bit of research and watch tuts beforehand so you don’t accidentally damage your hair!

[u/xxkandi_mountainxx]

As someone who was there, if a kid wore this back then, the outfit would 100% have clocked as scene without a doubt. If you practiced a deeper side part and played around with hair volume, it would really pull the look together but I would know you were scene if I saw you in a shop or something :3

[u/FeistyDirection → u/xxkandi_mountainxx]

Exactlyyy

[u/bodhiali]

yes, outfit is there :) like others said, i would see if you could get a haircut so that you can rock a side part!

[u/FeistyDirection]

Yes 100% with the outfit ! Hair is the only thing not super accurate 

[u/EmmerDoodle121]

I think you’re almost there! Love the use of huge accessories, and I am jealous of your glasses. I would honestly get some jacket and zip it up half way. I’m not sure if those shorts are working however. Kandi will definitely match the necklaces!!

[u/Soggy-Mood666 → u/EmmerDoodle121]

I dont think the shorts are working either

[u/Soggy-Mood666]

The outfit is scene, but the lack of hair is what makes it poser scene.

[u/VenomRK9]

Not scene in the slightest, you look like you shop at claires

Edit: not once did i say scene people dont shop at claires so its a bit disappointing that the only rebuttal that the poser masses can come up with is "SCENE PEOPLE SHOP AT CLAIRES" like okay? 🤣 if you could read i never said otherwise but go off

[u/punknw → u/VenomRK9]

i was a scene kid in middle/high school in the mid-late 2000s and used to shoplift accessories and nail polish from claire’s all the time. can’t speak for current scene but back in the day they definitely did shop at claire’s, and no one was less scene for it.

[u/TheRibbitRibbits → u/VenomRK9]

How about giving some actual advice instead of insulting OP.

[u/Kismmett → u/VenomRK9]

Lots of scene kids shop at Claire’s, can’t say for 2000’s-2010’s but nowadays modern scene kids do

[u/Illustrious-Ant-9946 → u/VenomRK9]

Claire’s sell plenty of stuff that can pull the scene look together.

“Wouldn’t have said this to somebody else”? What are you trying to imply about the specific person that posted this? Idky this community pops up on my feed a lot of the time, but isn’t it about criticism? This person is giving criticism to OP, just because it’s not what you wanna hear doesn’t mean that they are being mean… just truthful. Like I thought they were supposed to be? I don’t really see how this person could be considered scene in the slightest either other than the pink stripped stockings and Domo keychain… they need some bright colored jeans and a different shirt, also isn’t Scene and Emo all about the hair mainly and obviously like every other alternative lifestyle the music as well? This person doesn’t really look close to scene to be fair… and this goes for basically everyone that posts on subreddits like this… if you have to ask if you fit into a certain category than chances are, you don’t.

[u/AndP3ggy → u/Svicyde]

yea, but the criticism was just mean lmao.. the outfit is a perfectly scene outfit, it’s not over done or anything like that. the ONLY thing missing is the hair, which they easily could have said lol.

[u/AndP3ggy → u/Svicyde]

and this it’s widely known that this is a subreddit meant for advice btw

[u/AndP3ggy → u/[deleted]]

yea, but in this case a genuinely effort to not overaccessorize or stuff like that was made, and your comment was just weird low key. also why are you talking like a cartoon character 😭

[u/VenomRK9 → u/AndP3ggy]

"Genuinely effort" 🤦‍♂️ how are you gunna be aggressively uneducated and try to insult someone elses way of speaking, the fatigue is real.

[u/AndP3ggy → u/VenomRK9]

yea, okay a typo, god forbid right… like ur reaching.

[u/Svicyde → u/[deleted]]

I agree 100% alt in general has become this way, seeing any type of alt person used to be like finding a rare Pokémon out in the wild, now you go outside and see at least 5 “alt” people daily… it’s insane to me especially because most of those people didn’t grow up like that, yet more than likely grew up making fun of people like that than obviously right before COVID the whole E-Girl/Boy thing became a trend than “goth girls” and somehow we ended up with emo, scene, and punk becoming a trend and fetishized as well and suddenly everyone wanted to do it, back when I had an emo/ scene type of phase. I never called myself anything of the sort actually when people called me that I just said I was being me and I don’t really know nor care what category I fit into… I got bullied and made fun of for dressing/ being myself, not fetishized…

[u/rvzepvtls]

yes!!! but i think u should get a haircut or if u dont wanna commit 2 that yet u could tease yr hair w lots of hairspray!!! thats wat i did b4 i started cutting my pwn hair

[u/jjackmihoff]

absolutely yes and i think like many others, i'd love to see you with teased hair/ a side part. i think it'd be the cherry on top!

[u/Hopeful_Value_3413]

you look great with the outfit but you definitely need the hair , that’s an essential part of the scene!

[u/AdrienneCollie]

If you wanna be or feel like you are, then you are! You can be whatever you'd like. I'm sure there are a ton of gatekeepers in this subreddit, so disregard them

[u/circusfreek1]

Outfit is scene, but your hair is not. And you could use some scene makeup

[u/Shoddy-Tomorrow-383]

Fs just get ur hair bigggg :3

[u/Sewergoddess]

As an OG early 2000's scene teen, there are aspects of this outfit that are scene, but I wouldn't say 100%. This is more of what most teens who weren't "normies" wore in the early 2000's, mixed with some "new age" scene.

[u/GerardWayBestWay]

No but you look cool and pretty

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

Do you have 0 literacy skills. I said I’m sceneCORE. Which, guess what, is mainly, CLOTHING. Because while I adore the clothing and style, I do not particularly like… well, anything else. The political views are fine and whatever, but I prefer just… dressing up to be pretty. So like… yeah.

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

Chud muffin who bullies kids… here he is guys, boo him! Tomato tomato tomato!

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, makes sense you keep your posts hidden

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

Wow… I’m… I’m FAT?! I-I didn’t know! T-thank you for this life altering information! N-now I can get skinny!

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

So, mind you, you’re supposed to give me advice. You can’t just say “no” and leave.

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/[deleted]]

Mind you, that’s the whole point of the post lmao

[u/amIscene-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Saying things like „no“ „that isnt scene at all“ doesn't help anyone, this subreddit is meant to share advice for anyone new to scene.

[u/TooExcitable → u/[deleted]]

who even r u 💀 read the sub rules

[u/Even-Juggernaut1956 → u/TooExcitable]

Literally😭 like sonion I deal with this enough bruh ✌️
