      “The scene subculture is a youth subculture that emerged during the early 2000s in the United States from the pre-existing emo subculture. The subculture became popular with adolescents from the mid 2000s to the early 2010s. Members of the scene subculture are referred to as scene kids, trendies, or scenesters. Scene fashion consists of skinny jeans, bright-colored clothing, a signature hairstyle consisting of straight, flat hair with long fringes covering the forehead, and bright-colored hair dye. Music genres associated with the scene subculture include metalcore, crunkcore, deathcore, electronic music, and pop punk.”

        Back in my day, it was just called scene. Or as one of my scene kid friends called it, “Sceney-Weenies.”

        I used to dress like a scene kid from 12-15 years old and dyed my hair bright red mostly. I had blue hair for a bit before that became a stereotype, but I think I looked the best with the red hair. I had it red regardless of length, and even a little after I stopped being “scene” and finally cut my hair short.
