Y'know, I was debating the whole 'scene' issue amongst myself the other day when it came to me that it's not so much scene as it is a realization of the inner self that's at hand. It's not even in the necessity to cast aside our worldy shackles and manacles and balls and chains and vices and iron maidens and nooses and jail cells but instead to pursue what it is within for 'sceneity.' Indeed, one could easily arrive at several conclusions about the mere existence of 'sceneness.' Let us not forget the very famous words of Aristotle on the topic. Is it not the most interesting thing as well that in people's mad grab for 'scene' that they lose any individual sense of the inside which they are truly reaching for? So it is a reach without to find within--a flawed attempt by any standard. As I sit here at my desk, 1:48 in the AM, I gave out my window. Very interesting that as I talk about this very topic I gaze out at the 'scene' below me, if anything showing that the homynym almost completely has the same meaning as all senses of the word enveloped by 'scenety.' |

| FrogRawr | Being anti-scene and anti-trendy is becoming a scene and a trend itsself. | |

| ziggytrix | On a scale from 1 to 10 where 10 is MacGuyver with a utility knife and some duct tape and 1 is this thread I'd rate them a 1. | |

My scene is dead... I walked into a department store... it was one of those prep based stores. I looked at the pants. There was a tear in it, and a price tag of 50 bucks. I looked at my pants, it had a tear in them. They cost me 15 bucks. I don't know where I'm going with this. |

| Burger Lord | Goddamn loosers who really want to be something they know they are not, join the "scenes" or the "underground" and brag about it to anyone stupid enough to give them a minute of attention. These are the people who can somehow put the word goth or punk into any sentence and call themselves non-conformists when they spend all of their time, energy, and money trying to fit in to a specific social group that looks the same, listens to the same music and wear the same stuff. It's usually easy to pick out the Hot Topic-ites not by what they are wearing but they spend all day telling you about how incredibly punk they are, how punk their music is, their friends are punk, skateboards piercing punk, punk, puckeddy punk punk punk..... | |

| dreaddi | Well many people are in it to identify themselves with people with similar interests to theirs. It's also about the camaraderie, like in punk. I don't see what's so hard to understand about it, or so despicable. The goth scene isn't dead, and neither is the punk scene, otherwise there wouldn't be clubs and shows and crap for them. | |

| Maverick Zero Unit | I would, but that's what all those nice anti-scene I-mockery websites are here for. I just felt like ranting. | |

| Emu | what the fuck is a scene | |

| Helm | That's a nice story why don't you make a website about it | |

Scenes: How useless do you think they are? I think the concept of scenes are just out right stupid and most contradict their own beliefs. Just about every "scene" say they are that way because they are different and unique... Umm... Millions of people all pretending to be different sounds kind of like, they are trying to fit in? Places like Hot Topic which (hopefully) do not intentionally promote this type of behavior (EX: I got this spike bracelet from Hot Topic! I'm a punk now!) is used as a weapon and a basis for this "scene" war. If you shop at Hot Topic because it's Goth, Punk, Freak, or etc., your missing the point of the store. It does have "Goth/punk" clothes, but a lot of it is nostalgic t-shirts and such. I know somebody, he's been to prison, small tough guy that listens to rap. He saw my Mighty Mouse shirt from Hot Topic and he told me about when he was a kid watching it and how that was his nick name. Didn't care where I got the shirt, just wanted one. Note to all you "Punks" or "Goths" all those shitty $60 plaid pants and crazy pants with millions of zippers and chains you buy at Hot Topic to be punk/Goth/etc. you know the original people didn't spend anywhere near that amount for their stuff. Punks were poor and if they didn't steal it was the cheapest of the cheap. Goths wear the same stuff every day so you can't even tell if it's even different. Tune in next week when I poke fun at: Strait Edges and Jocks/Cheerleaders: Americas most loved and hated groups. |
