We have all seen these scene kids before- the boys and girls at music shows with the tight jeans, ratty hair, and oversized sunglasses. In just a few short years, the scene culture's popularity has skyrocketed. Scene kids are often stereotyped as "emo kids;" this is a common misconception.

Where do the names come from?
Having a cool online name is an option. One notoriously scene attribute is having an alliteration as a screenname (i.e. Kiki Kannibal, Allie Apathetic, David Disaster). When considering a scene name, try to avoid commonly-used words such as "massacre," "br00tal," "suicide," "murder," "terror," "vanity," "horror," "gore," "glamour," or "chaos." Also, don't use the word "scene" or "emo" in the name at all.

Hair is one of the most important aspects of looking scene. One of the most popular choices is to dye your hair black, and then add in neon or bright coloured streaks.

You see them everyday. The kids with bangs over their eyes, tight shirts and tight pants; the kids rebelling against everything with their bright hair and eye-liner and shiny metal; the kids with the bags and the shirts bearing names of bands you’ve never heard of. The scene kids. And sometimes you wonder how they did it, and wonder if you might be one of them if you knew all their secrets.

Biggest scene right now is the emo kids, and thankfully, there are already a million websites, blogs and quizzes that are dedicated to how to be emo

Next you have the punk scene. This requires you to be bold and rebellious.

Lastly you have the choice of being indie. This requires you to either be very patient and knowledgeable, or an extremely good liar/bluffer. Obscurity is your friend. Only listen to bands that are on indie labels, and bonus points if the band’s from another country.

How in the world are you supposed to pick the right scene kid clothes without coming off as emo? It is difficult, but just try to stay original. You actually has a lot more choice if you were to stick with comparing used scene clothing with new stuff. There are lots of funky patterns out there that will make an original scene kid.

Even though the scene kid name that you pick is important. You can have lots of fun picking out a name that will stand out. A good trick is to use a thesaurus and check out the different synonyms for a particular word. A great site to use is thesaurus.com. Enter a word that describes high emotion and check out the results. Here is a short list of words and their synonyms that you can use as your scene kid second name.
plush : juicy, luscious, fresh, deluxe, tender
terror : dread, fright, panic, shock
love : flame, passion, worship, crush, delight
scary : spooky, creepy
happy : sunny, tickled pink, jolly, intoxicated, peppy
confused : baffled, unglued, unzipped, glassy-eyed, punchy, puzzled, messy, mistaken

It is best to keep your scene kid names short. Some scene kids choose a scene kid name that is too long to remember. I have heard of one such name that is impossible to remember : Lauren Straight Edge Eyeliner Bleeding. Try to use just two names and remember to add some bazazz to your first name by including an z or any.

Scene kids are best identified through their scene hairstyles.

Both genders have many choices for their scene hairstyles. Black or blonde is the dominant color for scene kids. They have the option to razor in or straighten their hair. Most scene kids are usually seen with neon colors with black, leopard or zebra print obsessed hair.
