EJ said she, Kirra and Eliza received abuse from emos, who accused them of "ripping off their style".

Like they invented it. Hello, goth and death rock?

Stupid children.

What was old is new again. Let me know when they start to do something really different. Like gene modification therapy that grows horns on their heads and spiked tails out of their rears.

Hahahaha. That article is classic.

quadropheniac: Hahahaha. That article is classic.

That article made my brain implode.

CyberDave: That article made my brain implode.

I couldn't even finish reading it.

Reading it as a teenager is immensely amusing. This is mainly because adults simply cannot effectively and logically comprehend the thought process that go on regarding teen social styles and trend choices, and when the news tries to mainstream it, it comes off as complete and total tosh. Which is, of course, exactly what it is. Scene and emo are some of the stupidest crap I've seen. Most, if not all, of these professed "lifestyle choices" are dumb.

Crystal McKenna, a 17-year-old emo from Warrnambool, south of Melbourne, is not a fan of Scene kids.

"They are like wannabe emos. It is more the fact that they change just to be in with everything that is going on at the time," she said.

That statement is laced with so much unintentional humor.

Because adults were never teenagers.

kmmontandon: Because adults were never teenagers.

If you're suggesting teenage culture is static, I'm amused. It seems that each generation seems to piggie back on the old one and then try to come up with something specifically illogical to their parents.

I'm not saying that adults don't understand teenagers per say. I'm saying adults don't understand teenagers in the context of the current teen culture.

"We like getting stared at,"

Hello, rehashed brand of attention whores.

They look like they compiled their clothes by rummaging through a theater dumpster.

The tiara is a hilarious touch.

And their parents let them out of the house looking like that at 13 years of age? WTF?

When I was 13 I was still wearing overalls, tshirts and sneakers.

/Get off my lawn.

Razorwolf: They look like they compiled their clothes by rummaging through a theatre dumpster.

That's what I came here to say,so... I'll just quote it

Did anyone read that farkin wikihow page on how to be a scene kid? (pops). Talk about making my head asplode! Whatever you do don't follow the link on how to talk like one. Jumpin' Jeebus in a chicken basket.

Scene girls are hot. There, I said it.

So that's what that's called. Scene. Still looks stupid.

FTA: She spends $50 a week on clothes - almost all her pocket money

50AUD is almost £25 or about $45 USD...Is this a normal amount of pocket money for kids nowadays?

/Off my lawn, etc

I see the new teen style is "the homeless look."

The 80's called, they want their style back...

/never done that before.
//probably doesn't count

I never even heard of scene. And do you know who else dresses up to get stared at at the mall? WHORES! My step daughter did the whole emo thing until she realized the "cute" boys thought she was a freak and ignored her. So she stopped being emo and dresses like a normal kid. So now I'll have a new set of problems.

WTF is wrong with kids today? We I was 13 we were scrawling graffiti and slashing the seats on trains ...

/Get off my lawn

If 13 year olds are doing it, it's not cool/hip/with it/current/whatever.

I knew that punk was over when I saw a pack of giggling thirteen year old girls in ratty jackets ask for the newest Green Day album at a record store.

bubbaprog: Scene girls are hot. There, I said it.

I agree. If they are over 18 that is.

Like a moth to a flame I read it. This gem jumped out:
"Use abbreviations if you're comfortable, but always make sure that no one knows what they mean."

Welcome to 1984-85 girls... Hairnet hairspray cases are over on the left.

I don't know what my feelings are on the "Scene" look right now as I just got up, but I DO know that I infinitely prefer it to the "Guido" look...

So, in summary, it could be worse, folks.... Just imagine herds of these running around...

anyone wanna join my meme? i call it "scream-o" where i just walk arround screaming obscenities as loud as i can. theres no fashion or music to go along with it. sure some MIGHT call it turrets, but its COMPLETELY different! i swears!

these just left me cracked up

"They are like wannabe emos. It is more the fact that they change just to be in with everything that is going on at the time," she said.

umm..


Her friend and fellow emo, Ballarat student Shardee Beekmans, 17, said she had heard of problems between emos and Scene kids.

Can you imagine the mascara spatter on the walls when these two sides go to war?

That is not scene. That is arms race.

/Yes, I apologise.

To each his/her own. There's something refreshing in kids expressing themselves during puberty/adolescence.

Already a subculture devoted to that, it's called "Tourettes"

Mods vs. Rockers?

omg i hate farking dumb people.

scene kids in a general term that encompases punk/emo/indie fans. its not a specific type of 'genere' or whatever.

and for christ sake this shiat has been going on since i was in high school. the same farking words and kids. probally the same god damn news article. like some sort of rick ramero mad libs.

quadropheniac: I'm saying adults don't understand teenagers in the context of the current teen culture.

It DOESN'T change though. The bands and brands are different, and a few minor cosmetic touches change, but ultimately theres a very short cycle for youth culture, and it constantly spins around and around, dating back to as far as a sizeable middle class has existed, though taking a short break between the fall of Rome and the start of the Renaisance. The parallels are incredible and simply reaffirm that theres nothing new under the sun.

Though having said that, I'm still not sure exactly what kind of music scene kids are affiliated with. Thats one thing that HAS changed, the ability of culture to spread so rapidly has led to more mashups and confusion than the more narrow focus of past fads.

missmez: Hello, goth and death rock?

Hello, Mods before even that.

You'd be surprised, adults arent' as bad as they seem.

/about to turn 30

Dude I'm 21 and not that far off from being a teenager myself and I have to say that I don't understand current teen "culture" and I sure as hell didn't 5 years ago. The people on fark know exactly what it's like being a teenager and realize just how freakin stupid they/we can be. This current brand of foolishness is no different from the flappers in the 20's except those people didn't dress up like homosexuals and biatch about how much society hates them while they set cats on fire.

srtpointman: So she stopped being emo and dresses like a normal kid. So now I'll have a new set of problems.

lol

Meh. Looks like just a sloppier, younger version of club kids.

Man those Japanese are way ahead of the times, this shiat was big there about 5 or 6 years ago.

Yes, indeed.

There is no teen culture anymore. There is a 13-21 marketing demographic.

Lusiphur: Hello, Mods before even that.

What do the Moderators have to do with any of this? You trying to get banned?

Submitter: 13-year old Australian Scenegirls goodness

Why don't you have a seat over there?

Almost makes me miss the late 80s-early 90s goth movement here in St. Louis. Back before all the little Mansonite freaks came along.

Guess it was kind of the same style war then too.

/sorry if I'm slightly incoherent
/just woke up

Link (new window)

all I could think of (not a rickroll, I promise)

/got nothin

Dammit, why can't Scenesters and Emos just cancel each other out?

I just realised one of these girls is wearing a cassette tape on a necklace. Thats genius ... how long until I see those on sale for $50?

armpit: Tips: "Guys should find a decent-fitting pair of girl jeans ... the tighter the better."

This has been going on so long that the jeans makers are (again) making guy jeans that look like girl jeans.

LittleGreenMen: Meh. Looks like just a sloppier, younger version of club kids.

Yeah, but I thought you had to take a bunch of e before you thought shiat like this looked good. These kids are probably doing this sober. sad.

Also, Cyndi Lauper wants her look back.

Is it wrong that I want to punch every one of these girls in the face?
