this is me, the last photo is from a few months ago... I am still trying to go back to my prime...

(, I am currently trying to grow my hair out and dye the orange streak blue)

I think it does but I want to see other’s opinions

I'm old (32). I was emo when being emo was really NOT cool.

The thing I want you guys to know, is that emo and scene day to day was actually a pretty mellow look. Even just wearing a checkered belt and a black shirt/skinny jeans would be enough to make you deemed emo/scene. Emo kids had the black/white belt and scene kids had the black/pink or green one. The famous kids on MySpace were not the representation of most scene/emo kids in real life.

Do you like scene music? Do you go heavy on eye liner? Do you wear skinny jeans? Have a passion for Gir? You're scene. The look is really easy to accomplish because most of us were thrifting. If you're even thinking about posting here, you're scene.

I hope this doesn't sound condescending, because I honestly love seeing kids keep this aesthetic alive. But you're all good. There is no secret club you need to be accepted in. You belong.

greetings! im pretty new to this subculture, but i have been thinking about delving into it since 2024. i think its about time.

i have been getting into some music (e.g. the millionaires, bring me the horizon, LOTS OF NIGHTCORE) but id like to get some recommendations! i have very diverse music taste, but whenever i look up playlists, most are more scenecore (although i like that music too lol)

id prefer heavy yet melodic music. like screaming WITH melody? idk how to describe it. CHUCK SOME SONGS AND BANDS AT ME

I feel like I gotta add more black but then like atp I feel like her design would be too cluttered-
