07.09.11 | 3 cops far too much flak. They're barely scene at all, tbh. And plus, Parkway's live shows are beast, they're all chill guys (vocalist especially), and they genuinely do it for the love of it, rather than being contrived about how they make their music. It ain't groundbreaking, but they ain't manufactured either.
Trivium are meh. Shogun was pretty cool though. BMTH showed real potential with their last album too. That said, 4 are horrible, and 2 and 6 aren't much better. |

Scene kids are not long emo hair and skinny jeans or whatever , try are the people who follow the next trend. Believe it or not trendys are going rockibilly.., |

Wrong. So Wrong. I know scene kids, I don't like those scene kids, but I know them. They know about Alexisonfire.
"the term scene should be erased from history as well as anything that affiliates with the term.
Parkway Drive is pretty good and not "scene". "
Though I do not disagree, you guys seem to me missing the meaning of what this thread is. The OP isn't calling the bands themselves scene, he's calling them "scene" bands because a majority of their FANS are scene, and/or they bands are held with high regard within the Scene. |
tkxxx7
07.12.11 | dnor maybe you need to start "knowing" better (worse?) people
regardless, there's no rule that states scene = bad, but that's the way many users on this site act. |

what's your point?
all I said was that stuff labeled 'scene' as of now is shit, in all my personal experience at least |
dnor
07.12.11 | Eh what he's trying to say is that some scene labeled bands aren't all bad (i.e. Alexisonfire) and that the scenw is lible to changeover the years, encompassing something you might like Eric. |
dnor
07.12.11 | Sorry for spelling and typing errora. I'm on my phone. |
omnipanzer
07.12.11 | Okay, I think I've got it. For me it was Goth. So bands would have been The Cult, Bauhaus, The Sisters of Mercy, Haujobb and worked it's way through to Marilyn Manson toward the end. I would consider a lot of that "scene" music to be good and some, not so good. |

oh no, I know! I really like the observation you made... that makes sense! I simply wasn't stretching my judgements too far... I was speaking only on present terms, and noting my limited personal experience to say, "scene music is shit."
and I mean you do look pretty scene from what I can tell but whatever that's off-topic I guess. I could be wrong, obviously |

07.12.11 | why? he looks incredibly scene from the one picture I saw... not snide at all |

07.12.11 | "skinny girl jeans"
This.... girl is in the name dude. |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | "I look no different than dallas green but if that's your definition of scene then guilty as charged. when I think of the term it's trash like brokencyde."
"Idk scene is a personal opinion. Some people see scene as straghtened hair and skinny girl jeans. Others think brokencyde straight multicolored hair with bright neon skinny girl jeans."
yeah I just lump all that together it's really all the same to me... probably because I have no personal experience at all with anything near those demographics but whatever
|
omnipanzer
07.12.11 | Fuck I hate Skinny jeans... they just look stupid. I remember when the cannon leg jeans were in style or bell bottoms came back in for a few year... I never wore any of those stupid fucking things either. If you wear them... stop. it's a fad you know it and the sooner you stop the less photographic evidence there will be of it later. Just take my word for it you will be embarrassed later. For some reason it just never occurred to me that some of you I talk to on here might actually be wearing those . |

I'd call the black-hair-dyed, skinny-jeaned, androgynous person with makeup on is a little farther from the center than "alternative looking" lol
and I strongly doubt that part about music taste... what bands do I like that they would enjoy as well? |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | Misery Signals just aren't "scene"
that's such a poor way to describe a band anyway |

07.12.11 | more of a discussion than an argument going on pit geez |
FrankRedHot
07.12.11 | Stupid fucking discussion |
balcaen
07.12.11 | so are all the generic metalcore bands scene or?
i'm pretty sure misery signals would be considered a scene band, they're actually good though imo |
FrankRedHot
07.12.11 | shut up |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | balcaen, no, bands with a large percentage of fans who are "scene" are sometimes referred to as "scene" coincidentally a large percentage of those bands are generic metalcore |
balcaen
07.12.11 | lol
i'll let you think about that statement for a bit |
FrankRedHot
07.12.11 | shut up |
balcaen
07.12.11 | it's better this way because you are consistently angry about it |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | andcas: well how about all the other traits I mentioned? and like I said, I highly doubt my music taste is anything similar to that of said kids... but you seem assured it is? care to point out examples please? |
FrankRedHot
07.12.11 | @balcaen shut up |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | yeah balcaen wtf? |
dnor
07.12.11 | I know you're asking andcas the question, but Eric, I think the points he's trying to say is just because they "look" scene, it doesn't mean all the scene kids listen to is the generic metalcore. In fact, a scene-looking kid was the person that introduced me to The Microphones, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is one of your favorite bands. |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | ok, point taken guys. I see what you mean... andcas I've actually never been to any sort of hardcore/punk/emo show or anything along those lines. Like I said, I just have no real life experience with that 'culture' or whatever so it's hard for me to differentiate between the particularities. and although I know what you mean I'm still certain if I saw somebody wearing said traits (eyeliner, skinny jeans, dyed hair, gouges, etc.) I would label them scene.
I mean some of those traits aren't necessarily scene... like tattoos and gouges and even skinny jeans in some instances... but put too many of them together and it's pretty hard NOT to be scene, I think. |
FrankRedHot
07.12.11 | I'm so scene. |

07.12.11 | ^ an androgynous scene kid pit? Say it aint so. |
RobotJesus
07.12.11 | I say someone is scene if they have more than one pair of skinny jeans I myself only have one pair so I'm in the clear |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | ^thats just retarded
Skinny jeans =/= scene unless they are black and properly skin tight
|
RobotJesus
07.12.11 | well they are black and almost skin tight lol |
tkxxx7
07.12.11 | i wear skinny jeans but not super skinny (yes, those are two entirely different fits). mostly i wear slim straight jeans tho.
anyway, i went to see la dispute/defeater/native etc and there were like two scene kids there, but there were tons of kids wearing skinny jeans. usually what i define as a "scene" kid is a kid who literally follows whatever's in the "scene" at the time, which at the moment is radically dyed hair, hot topic shirts, super skinny jeans, etc. i can't tell you exactly where the term came from or anything like that but that's how I always defined it |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | "i wear skinny jeans but not super skinny (yes, those are two entirely different fits). mostly i wear slim straight jeans tho."
lol that's much better
"usually what i define as a "scene" kid is a kid who literally follows whatever's in the "scene" at the time"
if that's the case then all these kids following The Wave or whatever (Defeater, La Dispute, TA) are pretty scene |
tkxxx7
07.12.11 | Unfortunately, bands like ADTR, TDWP, etc seem to have much huger followings |
tkxxx7
07.12.11 | and by what's in the scene i was mostly referring to fashion |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | as a general rule, one should be able to differentiate between girls' and guys' jeans, right?
see: http://i55.tinypic.com/wjxax3.png
not baggy, not skinny, and differentiable from the girls jeans next to them |
SeaAnemone
07.12.11 | just because they make them doesn't make it ok
they make capes for guys too
doesn't mean it's ok to wear one |
tkxxx7
07.12.11 | my jeans are usually a little tighter than that, but at no point do they look like girls' jeans
but there's more to jeans than tightness that differentiates boys and girls
you DO have a cock and balls to put away, it's not like everyone can wear the same fit |
toxin.
07.12.11 | For the record, I wear skinny jeans, and I'm nothing close to scene. Well, maybe my Halloween costume, but that was a costume.
EDIT: Skinny as in skinny. Not super skinny, not tight, not slim straight. Just skinny. |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | i wear skinny jeans but i have a tightness limit
and SeaAnemone, that's a damn nice pair of jeans |
PurpleDino
07.12.11 | that may seem obvious but ive seen some pretty fat scenes in some pretty tight jeans, and they should have a limit |
