How Can I Give Myself a Scene Make Over?
Scene is a music sub-culture and fashion related to emo and screamo. Although these genres are off-shoots of punk, metal, garbage and garage music, scenesters -- or scene kids-- do not dress or act in an aggressive or violent manner. They focus on expressing their individuality, creativity and eclecticism through eccentric styles and ironic accessories. Scene accessories and clothes can feature nerd, gamer, gothic, anti-establishment, anti-sexual, punk, metal and retro elements, all of which makes it very easy to confuse scene with other fashion families. To achieve a truly scene look, mix elements of scene fashion with accessories and clothing that expresses your personal tastes and ideas. Does this Spark an idea?
