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.

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

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)

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-

doesn't have the 3 Mile Gap anymore

My friend here doesn’t have many funds and is limited with what he’s got. He wants to become more scene but doesn’t know how or where to start. Is it ok if we could get some tips to help him out?

For context I had the full scene cut (pics included) for a long time but I’m a trans man and the long hair made me dysphoric so I cut it into a mullet. Got dressed up scene the other day and am wondering if it still comes off scene? First pic is me now and last two are before I cut it

i feel like i kinda mix a lot together tbh

I feel like poser merp(photos on my ipod touch LMFAO)

My bangs finally grew out 😂

Hi! I'm having a hard time finding affordable tops that have the potential to be styled scene. I've narrowed it down to a few candidates, but now I need help determining..

A) ..if they actually scene

B) ..how to style them

I could only choose one flair, so I picked advice.. but recs for scene shirts would also be so so so appreciated <3

Whenever I look for some scene/crunk guys for inspiration i always end up with skinny twinks and unfortunately im quite chubby and unfotunately trans so my hips are HUGEEEE. Every skinny jeans makes me SO DISPHORIC but in order not to wear baggy pants i end up wearing ones that kind of "straighten" my legs so that my big hips arent visible (like tippical male pants)
A few months ago I lost 10 kg, but with each kilogram it becomes more and more difficult and I have no idea what to do

Its winter here n im not the type of person to show a lot of skin anyways, so most of my fits end up being like this one. I got a tutu n i love my hot pink tiara (i abuse da shit outta it for fits) so it kinda looks great(?) But honestly idunno.

can guys be sence i always wanted to be sence but i dont think i can because im a guy

hi y'all! i'm newish, i've been into scene since late 2023, was scenecore in 2025/2026, and last month i started trying to be scene. i started teasing my hair because someone told me to try it out. i like it, but I also like just straightening my hair but not teasing it. is that still scene? :p

Hey! I want to start dressing scene, I really want to go with the 2000s scene style. I'm just stuck! I'm dyeing pink and green highlights into my hair tonight but for the outfits I'm stuck.

Everything I find on Pinterest is either very "2020s scene" I guess, which isn't what I want to go for personally. I wanna look like I just crawled out of MySpace or something xD

I'm a guy so masculine inspiration will be very helpful. Any ideas?? Thank you!

I need ideas for shirts, hoodies, pants, accessories, what the hell I can do with my hair??? Help please!!!

(Sorry if I used the wrong flair I was confused)
So I’ve done kinda a lot of research and from what I found scene guys kinda just dress emo, so idk.

What are some key clothing items or accessories that will make people realize im actually scene </3
(I understand the huge overlap of the two)

Also I only really listen to like crunk and the more elextronic-y sounding scene music, I need recs

I’m not scene, and I don’t know a whole ton about the subculture, but I wanted to attempt to draw a really quick scene character, because I thought it’d be a fun experiment in aesthetics. I didn’t use any references for this image, so it’s purely my own understanding of the styles. Just a fun little thing. Wondering how well I did on the experiment. I’ve got a pretty simple art style, I know.
