"I've grown around scene kids all my life. I guess I have more of a right to say I'm scene. Cause all you people who say "I'm Scene" your all posers.... So next time you think your scene and you try to ruin your hair and look kinda weird take it from someone who knows, if you know your not comfortable wearing a style you think is cute, but highly competitive, rethink it."Okay, so she basically is calling people who want to be scene "posers" and she is saying that they are making themselves look a hot mess. Wow, that's sort of harsh and I wish to say a few things about this. In the beginning, everyone looks a little out of the ordinary. It takes time to master "the" look. You said in your post that scene was about having your own style and not being ashamed. Well what if their interpretation of scene is different from yours and different from what you grew up around?
I have a scene cousin who could pass as scene Godess and she looks nothing like you. She listens to underground rap and she doesn't do half of the things on your list but yet she is verified as the scenest person in the area. She hates ripped up clothes and she can't stand cocky people. She doesn't dye her hair a lot, she doesn't wear metal brand shirts, and she hates scene boys. Does that mean she is a poser? Does that mean that since you wouldn't call her scene, she is not scene at all? That is what gets me questioning these "scene" people. Because like I said, my cousin is drop dead gorgeous and looks so scene that I thought she invented the whole idea on her own.
If you take scene so seriously, then why won't you let it spread so that everyone can get to know these types of people and know that it is a beautiful thing to be? Why are you not allowing for other people to try and achieve this look because I say that if it is what they want to look like, then they should go for it. However, I know how you feel because I understand how part of this is about biters and you best believe I would slap a biter because they piss me off. So why can't people just be scene but attempt to be original while achieving this look?
I agree with you, but think about this. All people are biters before they develop their own originality and individuality. Look at it this way, you copy a style or something from someone because it looks good. Are you biting off of them? No, because you build upon that look and bring your own personality into it, but that isn't until you see an idea first.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, just a thought. I agree with your post though.
