Scene Kid Take-Down: A Guide to The Trendy Streets of LA

If you ever walk down Sunset Blvd in Hollywood on a Friday night, expect to feel out of place when you pass such rockin’ joints as “The Roxy” or the “Whiskey A Go-Go”. These places hold certain shindigs for the youth of LA where obscure bands play with extremely long names that mostly have something to do with bleeding, being bled, or some kind of nonsense title like, “The Black Heart Procession” or “Wear your pants tight if you like UTI’s”.

Speaking of pants, if they aren’t plastered to your ass and your hair just isn’t big enough, consider yourself unwelcome in this world of teen angst. While some may protest that having your pants hug your balls all night may make you feel safe, the fact that you have hot pink airbrushed make-up on might buy you a one-way ticket to an ass beating if you step off the wrong corner in L.A. The colored peoples of Los Angeles will not give a shit you were at a show to see some obscure band that they’ve never heard of. They also don’t care about your extensive knowledge of 80’s music (which you just very recently learned about through VH1’s “I Love the 80’s”). No, no, you were sucking the teet during the reign of Duran Duran and probably don’t know what ColecoVision is.
That said, here is your guide to taking down the “scene kid”. If you, a citizen of Los Angeles or traveling tourist, ever come across children such as these, do not be intimidated; just remember how to disarm the wildlife with the tactics below. We are not cutting off the arm of the monster here people, we are slaying the beast. So please keep in mind the scene kids most valuable possessions are:

Digital camera, complete with 80 pictures of him/herself:

Make-up:

Marloboro Reds/Lights:

The iPod:

The Razorblade:

I must stress that it is IMPERATIVE that while attempting any of these take-downs that you do not look them in the eye. If you are any sort of Asian tourist, please remember that no pictures are allowed; this will only draw them to swarm around you and could become a potentially life-threatening situation.

Please remember, whilst wandering the streets of Los Angeles, that you need not be afraid. If you have read and studied this guide, you can take down the scene kid faster than you can decide which gender it is. Think of yourself as Wesley Snipes in ‘Blade’. Except you aren’t destroying vampires, you’re taking down the scene kid-who is much MUCH more annoying and pisses you off more than a vampire ever could. You don’t need silver bullets; all you need is a little knowledge and maybe a baseball bat. Good luck, and enjoy LA.

Oh, you kids! It’s so scene to hate your own scene!

your a bitch
scene kids are cool
your just a muff fat tard

YOUR A “SCENE-KID”
I prefer: trendy ass, bitch ass, mutha fukas. Oh yeah and if those kids get in my in the pit, their going to get either hardcore kicked or punched in the face!!!

You suck big time
Scene kids rule fatso.

this made me laugh a lot.

damn scenesters …

theyre all the same

Greetings citizens, We are living in the age in which the pursuit of all values other than, MONEY, SUCCESS, FAME, GLAMOUR, has either been discredited, or destroyed. MONEY! SUCCESS! FAME! GLAMOUR! For we are living in the age of the thing…

‘this made me laugh a lot.’

I agree.

Sceneism is nothing that a swift kick to their estrogen-shrunk testicles can’t solve.

this made my laugh so hard, its pretty true, kinda mean, but true.

i would’nt consider myself a scene kid, i mean i kinda got the hair, but no make up, or smoking, and i got a psp not an ipod, and i dont go to shows.

anyways, thanx for the laugh lady.

oh, and i kinda want your opinion if u think im a scene kid or not,

NIGGAS!!!!
im gonna go all NINJA ON YOUR ASS!!
stop talking junk about scene kids.
mmhm.
nuff said

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, This has the be the stupidest fucking thing i have ever seen in my life. Some people might smoke, take picture of themself, and use MAC make-up, but that DOES NOT make them a “scene kid”. Now i agree with the cutting for attention, but just because some people cut, doesn’t mean it’s for attention, It’s acually for personal reasons, maybe about something that happened too them when they were younger, you never know.

For the MAC makeup.. So what if people wear it? Who gives a shit if it’s MAC, it’s just a brand name, and i heard it’s the best out there. Maybe people, or as you say people who wear make are consider scene, don’t want thier fucking make-up to smear when then touch thier eye, or some shit like that. Marilyn Manson even wears MAC, does that make him “scene”? I believe not.
For the Ipod, what the hell is up with that shit? Would you rather people be carrying thier fucking radios or “boom boxes” around with them? Well, I wouldn’t. It just something that plays music, and you probly have one too.

I have no clue how I came across this, because i dont even belong to whatever the fuck this site is, but your post or “how to” was just fucking lame.

I’m not wasting anymore of my time with this.

Oh, and by the way.. it’s really sad that the only way i could tell that you were a girl was because it says your name is “Sarah”.

Haha.. wow.

- x Plastik CUxNT

[Does my AIM name make me “scene” ?]

I love Scenesters! Go fuck yourself, i say…

what ever
scene kids are cool
this is the most stupid thing i have herrd! I wear Girl pants and smoke virgina slims.

I’m sure “Erica” went and cut herself after reading this article and cried while listening to death cab for cutie. “IM NOT SCENE!! WHAT A BITCH!!I HATE MYSELF!! IM GOING TO GO WRITE 5 MORE PARAGRAPHS TO THIS BITCH AND TELL HER I DONT CARE ABOUT HER ARTICLE!”

who doesnt love a scenester. you can be one without looking like one.

although sometimes i cant tell if its a girl or guy. the guys look like girls…those tight pants are confusing.

you can’t destroy the scene. The only was for there to be a real scene everyone has to be allowed to be part of it.

JOIN THE SCENE
LOVE EACHOTHER

YOU BITCH!

How dare you call me an “it”
I am a god damn human being not some wild animal. If i ever saw you at a show i would get you in the corner of a pit and beat the living shit out of you.

You are a dumbass who doesn’t now anything about culture or music. Once again, go get a history lesson.

People listen to obscure bands because they know how much they hate not having attention and they don’t want that band to feel the same. Because we all know that that band, whoever they may be, is putting their hearts into something.

You are the most sterotypical bitch i have ever met. And if anyone ever tries to take my camera, make-up, or iPod i will slaughter them.

and LA isn’t the only place where us “scene-kids” dwell. But you should know that because you are so all-knowing.

Get a fucking life and masturbate so you might be happy once in a while.

MAYBE some of you should look up the word “SATIRE” in the dictionary? Just a suggestion.

all of you are dumb on here.
this person only made this because the fat ass goths arent getting attention anymore
dont say “i love scenesters” because this makes you a POSER
just shut up, quit being attention whores, & be YOURSELF for a change and not what other people think is cool

god you’re all pathetic.

hah I love it.

its too cute

um kthxjealousy?

Scene kids are pretty cool
They make so many accusations that they are all different and original,

its all so cliche XD

This is funny

it rly is, i laugh cuz i guess you can call me scene but i dont wear makeup and i dont have an ipod, i dotn smoke, i dont have the hair, but what makes you “scene” if you want to call it that, is that you appreciate the music you are listening to. Wtv you look like it doesnt matter, you will be accepted in the hardcore scene, at least by the true ppl who give a shit, not the self centered conceited fucks who think they know everyhting about everyone.

i go to shows, i dance, i listen to good music, i have fun, i support the local bands

most ppl have lost focus on whats important about music. Its not image though its is a big part of it no matter what we say or do.

anyways it gave me a laugh cuz a lot of it is true in a lot of cases. (not all so dont be blasting me for saying it. cuz if you dont see this, then your blind)

Yo that is fuckin hilarious. Scene kids are douchebags. They guys look like chicks and the chicks look like fucking dykes.

they’re a bunch of spoiled, suburbanite ass clowns who think people actuallly care about their shitty lives. We don’t, please kill yourselves.

yeah, wtf. i’m scene and i was confused as hell when i read that thing. i dunno, maby myrtle beach is behind or something but, nobody that doesn’t want to get their ass beat comes within a mile of 9th ave, unless ur a chic of course, wearing make up on a night when there’s a show. how big of a jackass would you look like trying to look fucking core and wearing make up? if that fat kid in the pic tryed to say he was core, i’d spit in his fucking face and call his ass a nu-metal bitch. also, a fair majority of people in the myrtle beach scene are straight edge. personally i find this to be quite astonishing seeing as how SC is one of the biggest tobacco state in the US, but i guess this is just a self respect sort of thing. another thing, what under 28-year-old american doesn’t own an ipod? i mean, its just one of the hottest ticket items on the market now. but seriously, as some what of a side bar, let assholes be themselves. you’re not going to change their mind(s) or their beliefs through namecalling, because this is obviously some one that knows nothing of a brotherhood, true friends, and the love of something greater than getting “trashed”. just hold your fucking head high and know that you’re that much better than them. and as always, if you truly are part of the scene, you really won’t have to worry about some fuck-tard trying to screw with you, because you’ll know that you always have someone watching your back, and usually with a pair of brass knuckles. or, if you are a poser and nobody in the scene has your back and somebody tries to jump you, sorry, it was probably me.

get educated, to learn about the myrtle beach scene visit:
myspace.com/xleadthefightx

humm. well the cutting isnt just part of scene or emo. it is part of every steriotype. people go threw diffrent things in their life and no one knows how to handle it so they force it apon their selves to handle it by cutting.
i sugest that you educate your self on that. i know plenty of people that cut not for attention but because of things they are going threw
so next time before you go of and judge some one by what they do, actually read the book!

Haha, thats jokes.
Scene Posers piss me off.

erm. seeing as we are being so stereotypical..
you’re fat.
and DIET mate
do you realise how inconsiderate you are?
before you tooktaht second helping..did you thinkabout teh starving kids?..
i mean reason one..you’re fat…put itdown
and reason two.. GIVE THAT MONEY TO THE PEOPLE WHO need IT!
so now before you call me vain..or shallow.. fingers to you my friend… save the money …save the bullshit..cut the fat. you know?

its unhealthy.
x love x

omg
such slicees
pretty sweet
wow so relaevant
sssssssss
the snake

i am so scene. i cut myself with EVERYTHING. spatulas, staplers, spoons, keyboards, toilet seats (AND TOWELS!!). anything you name it.

shampoo is so 80’s. pigs fat’s where it’s at! my hair is hotter than yours. check my myspace. i better be on your top 8 or i’ll CRY AND CUT MYSELF.

which isn’t a bad thing.

umm yea the chica above me is awesome
and i cut myself too
ever tried a hairdryer
my favorite they slice that shit until no tommorow yessss
sssssssss
the snake

you my friend are hilarious!! i just read this and the whole ricer post. that shit was funny

I’m offended.. and I’m not even “scene”.

It’s so silly how someone can just take how someone looks or acts and penilise everything about it just because they don’t like. Quit calling yourself a member of the human race.

If we’re going to be stereotypical, does that mean that you eat 2000 hamburgers a day, sit on your fat ass all day and watch shitty daytime TeVo while you wish you had a “proper” job??

Seems it to me.. if we’re going to stereotype, anyways…

WTF!!!

people stereotype
wayyyyyyyyyy
too much man

omfg slutface u fat retard, scene kids rule! its just cus we’re so much better than u so fuck u!
scene kids rule!

i fuckin hate scene kids, why the fuck do they even go to shows, they just get in the fuckin way!!!!!!!!

i do not have a razor
or an ipod
or cigarettes
but my hair is big
and my makeup plentiful
and people think i am scene
am i still going to get beat up if i go to LA?

Ugh.
Labels.
So hideous.
It makes me want to cry and rip my eyes out.

OMG!
I love you. All these little “scene” kids getting all angry. Lol.

I love to go to shows and watch scene kids look retarted.
I love scene kids.
And the way they make themselves retarted.

ew … how much do u weigh

you hate hxc danceing because its different. im not much for the hxc scene myself, but i am part of a scene. so as far as putting down the “scene kids” is just dumb. my self, i like oi, which when brought to the states basicly turns into hard core from bands like agnostic front, mad ball, and warzone. those bands have strong oi roots with some changes, new hard core is that same evolution. its punk rock evolving, and when somthing evolves it becomes stronger, and more likely to survive, altho different. just like the scene kids. they hold alot of yesterdays values of unity, and being open minded, minus alot of the stupid things we did like get fucked up all the time and waste our time with drugs. that gives them the advantage over us and it scares you. if you think you dont belong to some kind of scene then your wrong.

Dude
You are fucking amazing.

I love every page so far.

Scene kids are just chavs with studded belts.

:]!!

xxxxo.

yeah thanks for the info…my gf is a scene kid…i love her very much so im trying to become one for her..

Alot of the “scene” kids defending themselves are just making ass-hats out of themselves.
Please, type properly, none of this “CuntXwhoreXfaceXxXXBANGBANG” shit, X’s do NOT make anything more “x-core”. Typing stupid makes you seem alot stupider than you may actually be.
Who the hell actually says “kaythx”?
If someone came up to me and said “yeah move kaythxnow” id spit on them.
Guys are not supposed to wear makeup. Period. Neither are guys supposed to grow their hair down to their shoulders and dye it pink and wear nut huggers.
Although, the article is biased to the stereotype that all scene/emo kids cut themselves. Which is lame.

Uuhhhh don’t you think attacking eachother over an online journal is alittle sad. poor kids whatever happened to playing with a ball and bat.

Im a scene kid foe sho! ya nigga! its not my fault im hard core and love dinosaurs! yay
by the way u r not the sex
or turkish royal ciggys DUh
UR JUS MAD THAT SCENE KIDS DONT CARE WAT OTHERS THINK

dude, scene kids arent like that at all, ur thinking of goth kids. scene kids dont cut themselves. we dont wear makeup. we dont smoke, most of us are straightedge. good effort though lol

Scene Posers
piss me off too…
XD

That was HILLARIOUS.

So true, and so funny.

ha i thought it was funny
scene kids should be put in a camp

really funny even though i’ve been classified as ‘emo’/’scene’ myself. i’d just like to mention that not all people who are scene cut themselves, and not all people who cut themselves are starving for attention. cheers.

ahahahahaaaaaaa!!

fatty mclard butt
scene kids have to be cute and skinny
you are wayyy far away

hahaha
“take down the scene kid faster than you can decide which gender it is”??
thats the funniest shit ever

Cutting has nothing to do with being scene. Cutting is a serious fucking condition that requires proffesional health treatment and making fun of it shows me that you need treatment as well. Grow the fuck up.

I don’t know who you are, but this is one of the funniest things that I have ever seen. I will definitely use your advice if I ever encounter one(just kidding). But really, you are my hero for this entry.

ITS A FUCKING JOKE WHY IS EVERYBODY GETTING SO WORKED UP GODDAMN

…scene kids….altough scene girls are amazing the guys get kinda annoying and i love the guy who wrote this shit!

Wow….the cigs, the camera, the insane amount of make-up, the big hair and small pants……that pretty much covered all my friends. Thats awesomely hilarious.

fair enough that this is a joke? but please.

if i was to take this all so SERIOUSLY,
then sure. its extremely stereotypical. not all scene kids are like that. its ridiculously exaggerated and stupid, and totally unfair and judgemental.

HOWEVER,

it IS a joke, therefore it HAS been exaggerated.
so everyone thats replied like OMG THIS IS RLY UNFAIR COS I AM SO SCENE AND FIND IT OFFENSIVE is just being a bit stupid.
its just a joke. let them laugh at it ffs.
and yeah before you say “you obv. don’t care because you’re not scene” or w/e, i dno, THINK AGAIN MAYBE? i am, and i dont care if yr thinking “yeah but she’s obviously not if she doesn’t care” because you’re a bit gay then arent you rly.

people saying “I’m scene” doesn’t mean you’re a poser. wtf, are you sposed to deny it?

and its bullshit if you say “yeah i’m scene but its all about the music, i dont look like one”. its bullshit. total bullshit. it IS about the looks, the fashion, AND the music or whatever. i mean COME ON, it is a trend. not a music genre.

mate. get over it. its just a joke yer?X

p.s. MYSPACE.

right onnnnn. (Y)

you forgot to add that all scene kids post messages like this with.so.many.stupid.fucking.fullstops. and.say.words.like.phitt.and.hawt.as.they.cant.spell
i have sceneish hair but did before it was scene, most scene kids are twats and there music is piss poor give me some Pantera anyday

Hahaha.

Was this targeted towards people of the black colouring?

Relax guys. Some people are so offended by our beauty they have to make fun of us.

Take it as a very sincere form of flattery.

Hahahaha. I love this. I agree most wholeheartedly. It’s terribly funny reading these kids that “support” the scene, “OMG SCENESTERS RULE U BITCH HOW DARE U SAY THAT 2 ME.”
I love this. Way to go.

i would have said something even meaner. cuz u REALLY piss me off… but i was scared u might sit on me. & trust me… i’m way too young & pretty to die.

lyke OMFGZZZZZZZZZ tat is soooo SEXXX nigga!!! mmhmm OMFG lyke lyke you hella know scene kiddddzzzzz. OMG! i

this is retarted. you’re confusing scene kids with gothic kids. scene kids don’t cut…you obviously have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, and you should be embarrased…

mm, scene kids own your face.

damn, i did not realize you were female!!!let me guess!you are wearing those god awful big leg pants,with either staps,or chains!the only reason you where them is because you are to fat to wear anything elese in HOT TOPIC!!!! i bet if you were a slender,attractive female,accepted by the cool kids? you would be wearing the same thing everyone elese is!!!!! i have noticed that alot of over weight girls resort to the look you sport!!! you kids try to call this goth! it is not!!! you are just what we call goulie kids.if that is the way you want to look?then so be it!quit bashing on other peoples fashion groups!we do not sit around dwelling on your choice of fashion? so why do you waste so much time on it, i ask? it sounds like you have been exiled from someone of this group? i am curiuos though? is it just these kids,or is it people who do not dress as you do?

“Scene” is a big joke it is a bunch of people who have lost sight of what their own music was in the first place they do usually wear alot of stuff but thats normally what makes a “Scene kid” is the stuff they wear. the music they listen to is about being yourself and rippin it up in the pit lol(i personally favor this aspect) but they stray away from that and wear retared makeup for attention and make their hair for shows seriously i still dont understand this?!!! if you actually go to shows u will know that your hair will be messed up!!! but last thing i want to say is guys dont be fake just remember what the music was made for in the beginning or go join paris hilton!

umm…wow. as far as could tell, you just took a whole bunch of stereotypes and cliches and put them together to mkae fun of scene kids. a lot of my fridsn are scene. they dont smoke, they dont cut, and i dont know what brand of makeup they wear. not all of them have iPods. i’d like to point out, i know preps who take the “over-the-head-at-an-angle” pictures too. i also know preps who have cut themsleves. i have met people who dont even know what scene means and they wear MAC makeup. so STFU.

this is funny.
you people are getting so worked up over nothing

so what if some wierdo likes to rant about scene kids?

&& so what if theyre ignorant?

Ha, scene kids make me laugh I wonder what will be the next scene thing first it was chavs now emo next….Bollywood, one can only hope.

I would swear in a court of law that I have never seen a fat scene kid. Aren’t most of them skinny with tight clothes and choppy hair? That photo looks more like a fat Goth with an undeterminable gender.

I think this might have been a funnier satire if you did more research. There are plenty of other details you could have included besides random items that you happen to see a fairly large amount of Scenes carry.

So yeah…this didn’t make me laugh. Liked the 50’s one though.

You seem to have the cutting thing confused with EMO.

Everyone knows the only difference between SCENE and EMO is the fact that Scene kids are happy.

And Emo kids aren’t.

The make up and pictures may be true, but I love myself a good ol’ scenester.

I still laughed.

Actually I laughed a lot.

But still.

It was pretty accurate.

hilarious.
maybe the truly hardcore scene kids are ok. but the billions of posers all over the country who are copying other people should just get a clue. the only people that think youre cool are your fellow scene palloroos. you think youre going to get a good job looking like that? in the real world noone cares what obscure bands you listen to or how much you cry. guys, stop wearing girl pants. theres a reason why they call them girl pants. idiots

Lmao. I laughed so much just now. Thank you for writing this. Scene kids kill me, I love them.

But I agree with some people. Your style scares the fuck outta me, not because I’m one of those gay “omgg eewz a gothh oh emm geezz!!!11!!one!” people, but because a person of your physic(phy-zeek) (sp?) and (no offense), cannot pull a look like that off. Just thought I’d say, its not like it matters, but whatever. Great article.

oh how i chuckled at this one. effing scene kids and their trends. they are nothing but whiney suburban kids who dont have a clue whats going on.

thank you for the guide, it was most impressive.

xoxo
Cunt.

haha I totally agree with everything you said

scene kids cut themselfs??i thought that was dumb emo bitches?

lol SOME scene kids are cool but the ones who cut themselves are just fuckin gay GAY GAY GAY!!!! come on ur like 16 grow up what problems do you have when ur 16. oh no i cant have my lisence WAHH so im gonna cut my self MUAHAHA

ok fuck this shit

scene kids are cool intelligent and not threatening…we wont bother you because you arent scene so just leave us the fuck alone.

you touch the ipod….and you’re dead

Dude, this article is the shit. It’s fucking hilarious. I couldn’t agree more. I hate scene poser kids on myspace.

man FUCK ALL YOU FASHION SCENE KIDS

Oh this is the best.
I HATE SCENE KIDS!
I LOVE THIS!!!
KILL THE SCENE KIDS!

haha people are getting all mad because she’s mixing up scene and emo. well that’s prolly because most of the kids that are scenesters right now are the same exact kids that we’re emo when emo was trendy.

man i can’t wait til it’s no longer cool to be scene. especially in pdx.

fakeness sux people, stop trying to be certain genres and be yer fxckin selves.

haha.
someones a fat goth who doesnt have a lifeeeeee.
alright,
move out of your moms basement, and stop wasting hours on end complaing about a click, and then you’ll have the smallest bit of room to talk about others.
scene is just a fucking trend.
and you should drop dead for dwelling on it.

i give you credit for the hardcore dancing one though.
now that was comedy.

SCENE KIDS SUUUCKKKK!!!

dammmnnnn. you guys need to chill out. it was just a joke! it was funny. almost as funny as you guys calling yourself scene
