Scene Punk Party Ideas
A scene punk is someone who enjoys sub-culture punk music and attends places or "scenes" where punk music and culture intertwine. The scene punks dress in traditional punk style with shocking hair, clothing, piercings and tattoos. A scene punk party should have a large focus on music and costuming, since those are the two main identifications for scene punks.

Costumes
-
Scene punk costuming is simple. Boys wear distressed or destroyed pants and shirts, thick black boots or sneakers, studded accessories, real or fake earrings, piercings and tattoos, and leather vests or jackets. Punk hairstyles for guys include Mohawks and spiked hair, bright hair colors or floppy hair that has long bangs in the eyes. Girls wear a similar outfit, but they can also wear Gothic skirts, brighter jewelry and heavy eye makeup. Girls can spike their hair or leave it down.
Food
-
Scene punks enjoy a variety of foods. Many scene punks lead a vegetarian lifestyle as a challenge to mainstream diets. Providing vegetarian dishes at your party will help scene punks feel at home. Scene punks also like to eat foods from a variety of cultures, such as Japan, China, India and Mexico. If this is a birthday party, then also make sure to have a cool cake or other dessert for the guests.

Music
-
Find on-mainstream punk music to play at the scene punk party. The music should ideally be local, but if you cannot find anything local, then you can use bands from other locations. Play music from classic and hard-core punk bands, such as Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Discharge, Youth Brigade, Murphy's Law or Gang Green. If you know anyone who has a local punk band to play live at the party, that would provide an even more authentic scene punk atmosphere.
Activities
-
The scene punk lifestyle is typically all about antiestablishment. Scene punks will participate in dancing or hanging out, but may resist more formal activities. One game that party guests may enjoy playing is decoding scene punk abbreviations and words. Give everyone a list of typical scene punk expressions, such as rawr, aweshum, Bikthx or kayyy. The person who gets the most abbreviations and expressions correct wins the game and gets a scene punk award of your choice -- perhaps a punk album or a studded accessory or hair gel.
