As far as I know, scene clothes/style has no real spiritual/religious or otherwise significant meaning. Everyone gets their style cues from somewhere.

I totally agree with you.



Who cares!!! and quit hating.

Not really. Lol, sure I was one of the first of my school to do it. Never said people before me or after me did it, because god knows they did, it's called the 80's, and it was huge. It's just that, changing yourself as a whole because of a website (which actually wasn't the case, she lied, but read on for that). I don't care if someone ever copies something I've done, actually, I take great appreciation to that. It's the greatest flattery I could ever get from someone younger than me. If my style is worth copying, well then, I feel happy.

I also talked to my friend online who is also her friend. She told me that my friend (I'll call her K) got a new boyfriend in a rock band, so that explains a LOTTTT of it. I can understand K changing her look for a guy, or to impress a guy, even though I've never truely changed my style for a guy, I did start wearing more colorful clothing because my boyfriend asked me too, and me and him were total paradoxs in highschool, rocker girl and football player. Gargh.

I also talked to her on the phone today and met her at the mall to talk. We went shopping (PARTY!

) and she told me she always loved my style and everything, she just didn't wanna seem like a copier. I laughed and told her not to worry about it, that I didn't care about her "copying" anyone besides a 14 year old raccoon on the internet. So we're fine, it just shocked me that's all =D

So that pretty much wrapped that up. XD

Bout two years ago XD! I found it funny when everyone started doing it on myspace too. When one of those girls used to try and add my friend, she would say "Ashley, we got some raccoons under the server again, should I let them in, or chase them out with a broom?"

I lol'd so hard at that all the time.

 

[kymmilee]

i don't care what anyone says, i hate scene kids with a fiery passion. they bastardize EVERYTHING. straight edge culture, punk rock, emo, clothing. basically anything they can get their hands on.

 

[spectrolite]

I no fan or follower of trends or scenes or whatever but if youngsters want to dress like that then its up to them. Everyone has a right to express themself how ever stupid they might end up looking. I'd really hate to think that people were judging me by the way I dress and look but I'm sure it happens. I think some of them look adorable all dressed up too lol... It's like Halloween every day!

It's not the clothes that they wear doing it, it's their attitudes and behaviors. It's the same thing with the fake goth kids. It's not the part where they don the clothes that's irritating, it's the part where they pretend to be this knowledgeable person on things goth.

I hate it when people pretend they started were into Louis Vuitton before or when they act like they're so into high fashion designers and don't know a damn thing. It's not that they just started wearing or paying attention to these designers, it's that they act like they discovered them and everyone after them who found about these things is the poser

That Kiki Kannibal has a gorgeous face and tons of friends on myspace, which imo is why girls copy her. They also tend to copy her attitude which is to be really selfish, obnoxious and arrogant.
I'm sure your friend in time will grow out of it.

Just like kiki kannibal did;

Yeah... and just like she got BANNED from myspace for life because she posted a picture of her boobs on her myspace bulletin and then blamed her boyfriend at the time of it and posted a naked picture of him. At 14 years old? I mean... come onnnn. >_<

But this isn't about Kiki Kannibal, and IMO, she is a really pretty girl, but pretty girls can be ugly because of their personalities. I agree with my boyfriend, he once told me "I could meet a girl with the most beautiful face and body in the world, but it wouldn't mean anything if she didn't have a brain or a good personality to go with it."

 

[Chastity]

Styles are going to come and go. The huge scene deal will eventually fade out.
Oh man, Kiki Kannibal's hair is quite possibly the ugliest thing I've ever seen. That's a little too much, imo.

Um, she sent her ex that picture, and he sent one back. Then they broke up and he spread the picture around, so she spread his nude around. She didn't purposefully post it herself. And she's actually 15. Different people have different standards. I was friends with this girl who was STUNNING, but all she ever talked about was other people, all she would do was bitch bitch bitch, but she's had lots of boyfs.

@ BloodMittens

Your 1st post sounds like you feel superior to other people just because you've been a part of some questionable trend for longer than others. Teenagers change their style frequently, and with the popularity of Myspace, it's no wonder some use it as their source of inspiration.

Does it really matter? Rest assured, you'll both be looking back on pictures of your youth and wonder, what was I thinking!

 

[iamlelilien]

Kiki Kannibal's eye makeup is photoshopped sometimes. I've seen pictures where the black was obviously added using the airbrush tool.

I love the scene style, but it can be very poorly done. My opinion: bright colors = good, crazy hair = good, dramatic makeup = good, but sacrificing the health of one's hair = bad and making no effort to apply makeup neatly = bad.

Nah, I don't think I've ever felt that way. Acting better than others is actually a pet peeve of mine. I was just shocked imo.

@ Mxue - I still think she's 14, if she said her birthday on the correct date that is, because if she WAS 14, then she shouldn't be 15 until I'm 20. Plus she used to tell people she was 15 and then she told everyone she was 14, so god knows what her real age is, she might be 14 she might be 15, either way, it's bordering child porn. So also, who knows if she really posted it herself or not, it's the internet, anyone can lie easily.

 

[SingFrAbsoltion]

OT. so that's her name? i've seen pictures of her floating around on other forums and i always thought she was fugly. to each their own i guess.

I've talked to her on stickam and she said she would be 16 in september. Yes thats true, but imo I don't think anyone would want a pic of their boobs getting out? I'm sure she didn't WANT to be banned from myspace.

 

[CaraAmericana]

Is there really a difference from having your style influenced from myspace or from Cosmo(girl)? Who cares if she changed her style.

Do you know how many times I have changed my style since 14? In fact versatility is part of my personality. One day I can be hanging out at the Eurobar downtime with the gay population and then one day I can be sipping on spirits with my poshy supervisor/friend. then the next week I am at the Def Leppard concert with my older bro.

I buy what I like, if your friend didn't like her clothes then she wouldn't buy it. Her money, geez.

 

[makeupgal]

This cracks me up. I didn't know what "scene kids" were as I am now 39 and pretty much outta the loop. BUT....I looked at these pics and I thought, "Oh, there's me in high school." In 10th grade I was sporting the whole Flashdance look, wearing double belts, cut up workout shirts with acid washed jeans and VERY high heeled pumps (and I'd run all the way to Driver's Ed in those bitches). 11th grade, heard Motley Crue and that's all she wrote. I got my hair cut just like Nikki Sixx and I went from wearing pumps to wearing wrestling boots, and let's not forget the Aqua Net in the pink and white can! My old friends freaked out on me since I was now a "Metalhead" Move on into the early 90's and I was all about the clubs that played techno and going to a rave here and there. Now, I'm a Mom (but I REFUSE to dress like one!) So it's all about Bebe. So my point is, it's pretty natural for your likes/dislikes to change as you go on and you pretty much start dressing the part. I think that your friend's new beau may have been the influence here. I had friends get mad at ME because I had "changed" but inside I was the same person. I think you should hang out with your friend and I'll bet you will like her as much as you did 2 years ago.

I did hang out with her. No one has read that yet? XD

She's actually turned out to have changed, but not in a real bad way, she's the same, she just likes different music now and such. I don't mind though, she's an awesome shopping buddy and she actually went straightedge on drugs and drinking right now, and that's awesome because I'm the same way

So I'm not the only sober one at the parties anymore. Haha.
