Why is Yea Forums too ashamed to acknowledge their "scene kid" phase?

when i was like 14-16 i was obsessed with emo girls, my dream was to get a emo gf who would listen to mcr with me, but i was too shy to adopt a more ''emo'' style or talk to one them so i never achieved my dream.

You should be ashamed
You sound like a fag

Most of Yea Forums is too young to have had a scene kid phase.

Why do I sound like "a fag?"

but i'm not so you can suck my fat cock

Well, for me, it all started with My Chemical Romance, Dashboard Confessional, The Used and Taking Back Sunday. It peaked with Suicide Silence, BMTH and Parkway Drive. It all ended with Pierce the Veil, Man Overboard, Woe, Is Me and Sleeping with Sirens.

I wish I had been involved in it, or at least acknowledged it. MySpace and AIM were like the only ways of interacting outside of school in those days (I went to magnet school and none of my friends lived nearby) and I chose not to use either. I'm not sure why I said it then, but I think I was afraid of rejection or something. Listening to the music now, a lot of it is unironically pretty good.

Because I listened to dadrock and bullied scene kids

my scene kid phase consisted of listening almost exclusively to ‘politically conscious’ hiphop and being active in the youth chapter of the local green party. would trade this to being a mid 00s mall goth any day
t. 19 year old zoomer

I was about that indie and alternative NME shit in high school, Digitalism, Kasabian, Muse for some reason, Daft Punk, Gorillaz, LSD soundsystem and Death From Above...

Only music I glommed on to in my teens in this way was metal. I didn't in to the fashion part of it though. Or, ya know, as much as there was a fashion component of metal at the time. Jeans and t-shirt with skate shoes every day forever was pretty much it.

i don't think they are, considering all the paramore threads and hailey worship

Gas all zoomers

my shitty town didnt have scene become popular. it was all hip hop and nu metal shit. sorry you are a faggot op

god i wish i was that attractive

Because I used to listen to classic rock when I was young.
Now that I'm in my 50s, I'll be an emo forever.

I'm still emo I think. Probably just clinically depressed

my scene phase in 2002-2003 (objectively peak scene, everything after was laggard and gay) got me SO MUCH pussy

Man im gonna be honest, Woe, Is Me with Tyler Carter was actually good

2006-2007 was peak you moron

not gonna lie i had a small crush on one of the girls from millionaries and i liked hellogoodbye

I never had one.

Late Gen X / Early Millennial user here. I avoided the scene shit perfectly, while it infected the music I enjoyed to an extent. Scene kids wanted attention and dressed up for the sake of it. It was easy to ignore them. Are you seeking recognition for putting in the effort? Don't be that way. Enjoy music for the art / emotional content. Scene kids want the recognition which is acceptance beyond the medium. You're searching for something that music won't give you. You'll find pity at best, ridicule at worst. Just fuck off.

Thankfully those kids were about 3 or 4 years younger than me.

In my trendy teen years I was right at the cusp nu metal still being huge but clearly on it's way out and metalcore/scene shit becoming more popular with the youth and becoming visible

I was admittedly in a full blown mallcore phase at that time, JNCO jeans, long wallet chains, braided hair, baggy Slipknot shirts. I really hated "emo" kids and picked on them for being gay. At the end of the day we were the same faggots though.

Yes, adolescents growing up with Numetal at the start / core of the formative years are in the same boat as scene kids. Self aware anons could survive, even if enjoying the medium in ways. Music scenes have been shit for a while, with scene kids being the harbingers or the worst to come. Generations prior had issues, but the music industry changes and fandom in general went to hell with scene kids.

I was a scene kid from 2006 to 2008

These days I just dress casual and have somewhat of a faded undercut but not the gay hipster kind

what, too afraid to cut your hair properly?

you must live in a flyover state, you low iq faggot, it was all indie and hipsters and scene was dead by then

Local shows suffered the most with scene kids starting the wave of change. Great bands, along with heavily pushed industry acts will always put on tours on the major stage. However, we're long due for a revolution on local acts influencing change.

I was lucky to see Zao, Hopesfall, Beloved, Underoath, and Brandtson in many of their renditions. Korn just prior to Issues, Staind opening for them. Radiohead during the In Rainbows US tour. Fuck modern day radio.

I mean to be honest though I was into way more music than nu metal, mostly 80's metal. But I actually began to like some of that music after giving it a chance, and sadly became a fashion victim to fit in/get those kind of girls. At least it worked though, I don't know if I would have scored this hot mallgoth chick I dated if I didn't look like a giant retard.

Define 'proper'

Currently my hair is long on the top and short on the sides. Nothing wild.

Really? Did you graduate early or something? I'm 31 and scene was huge during my junior and senior years (2004-2006). I had gone from listening to nu-metal when I was 14, to thrash metal, death metal, metalcore and grindcore when I was 15-16, then hardcore. That's when I saw the scenester explosion.

I was such a douche... hated the fact that they were into their own brand of hXc and metalcore, that I started trying to look for other types of heavy music they weren't into. That's how I found power violence, and became obsessed with that, and with some Crust, then 80s hardcore, then killed by death punk, etc... basically became obsessed with everything punk (from proto-punk to post punk) for a few years. Even did a punk show at my college radio station.

Eventually got into other things (went through a brief tech death metal, then prog and neoclassical phase, then kreatrock, jazz, some hip hop, EDM... I still enjoy a bit of everything but the punk stuff has a special place for me).

Also I regret having hated those kids so much... I regret having spent so much energy being such an elitist douche bag. Now I have very few friends. Oh well, live and learn.

You did what you had to in order to survive the music scene. No worries. I went to shows to see the bands and avoided the life style / fashions required to hang out in the trenches. Scene stuff became a norm by the time the bands I wanted to see live died and/or evolved.

Are you a paki?

Yeah

What gave it away?

ya skin color and head shape

Are you gay?
No problem if you are, I'm very pro gay rights, but if I saw somebody dressed like this I'd assume they were flaming

You are very observant

Nope, I'm straight. I can understand why you would think that. I wore girl jeans.

It's funny though cuz I was a magnet for attractive scene girls.

kids dressed like that were pretty common in 2004-2008ish

>Real depression is not being able to pay your bills, plumbing getting shut off, your wife crying every night, but still having to go to work anyway and not have any money for yourself. It can also be a family member who has an opiate or alcohol addiction.
Literally nothing to do with depression

Do hipsters still exist in 2019?

They're more rampant then ever but they've just learned to keep it under wraps.

I didn't graduate early, I graduated in '07. But I'm from Colorado, and things culturally seem to happen a little later.

I was always a pretty nice but geeky kid, but I guess I have certain similarities to your trajectory. In middle school I really liked pop punk like blink-182, as well as the big garage rock revival bands like The Vines. I was a tiny bit into nu metal, but it was never a major focus. When I got to high school I started getting into old "classic rock" bands like The Who and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, but Richard Hell and The Stooges excited me a lot, so I got really into proto-punk, art punk, and 70s glam like Roxy Music. I kinda liked hardcore in high school, but I was pretty alienated, so I wanted something much more abrasive and extreme than metal, so I got really into no wave and industrial, mostly because it was so much weirder and more intense than extreme metal or hardcore punk. I did check out certain shocking metal bands like Mayhem, Regurgitate, and Rotting Christ, but that was always secondary.

I actually got really into those genres in my early 20s, and honestly I'm glad I wasn't listening to metal during my edgy phase, because it meant that when I finally did get to metal, I was listening to it for the right reasons.

I got into heavy music by kind of working backwards. Because I was into those art punk bands like Richard Hell and DNA, it was easy to transition to post-hardcore, and I got really into bands like Rites of Spring, Quicksand, i hate myself, etc. I was also listening to a lot of indie in my late teens, so putting the post-hardcore and the indie together, I went through a little midwest emo phase with Knapsack, Cap'n Jazz, SDRE, etc., and that led me to skramz like Funeral Diner, Daïtro, Touché Amoré, Portraits of Past, etc. Then I discovered the anarcho-punk scene, which was completely inspiring to me, with bands like Crass, The Ex, Flux of Pink Indians, Rudimentary Peni, etc., and that led me to Amebix...

...who I was completely obsessed with because of their apocalyptic atmosphere. I dug around crust a little, but wasn't too content until I found that same apocalyptic atmosphere in more recent crust bands like His Hero is Gone, Martyrdöd, Fall of Efrafa, Skaven, and From Ashes Rise. That stuff made an easy transition to black metal bands like Behemoth, Panopticon, Archgoat, Carpathian Forest, etc., sludge bands like Eyehategod, and I especially got into grindcore bands like Napalm Death and Rotten Sound. Also, since I was already into bands like Einstürzende Neubauten and SPK, it was actually toning things down a bit to get into industrial metal like Godflesh and Ministry.

I didn't have a scene phase i was a tryhard black metal loser in high school but secretly loved their music.
>tfw the only pussy I ever got was scene and emo pussy
TAKE ME BACK BROS

>tfw never had sex as a teen because even though there were a couple girls who had crushes on me, I had a raging oneitis on one of the hottest girls in school, who had a boyfriend, and I was too autistic to have any common sense

Even when I was into "emo" in high school it was stuff like Mineral and Sunny Day Real Estate, I never liked the commercial stuff

i was an indie kid

I hated scene kids, but emo-pop was on TV so much back then, that I have to admit to liking a few songs...

same desu. i've decided to just take the plunge before i'm really too old.

We didn't have that in my day

EVERYWHERE I GO

I never had a scene phase. I went to a school with a dress code until my sophomore year(which was about 2009) after that I'd say it was mostly dead. I do know some people who still dress scene near 10 years after HS and it's cringe as fuck.

I was emo just as scene was taking over. Then I listened to Disintegration.

I don't see the issue.

its kind of insane how sick 90s metalcore is with like disembodied, buried alive, deadguy, etc compared to 2000s metalcore like metalcore is such a huge umbrella term

any uk fags remember moshers and scallies?

I had a metal phase instead and I HATED scene kids

I didn't have one and every person I knew who was into that shit was a fucking mongoloid.
the "hot scenegirl" shit is a meme. 99.999% of them were fat. (and they loved Slender, Creepypastas, and similarly cursed shit)
There were a few exceptions of course but age grabbed all of them by the balls (or lack there of) because most of them did drugs regularly too.

the earlier one has his/hers metal phase, the better. It is THAT bad.
