What "scene" were the scene kids back in the day actually part of? Couldn't of been going to hardcore shows, could they?

Bump
The rawr-dinosaur-ninja-scene. Those kids were NOT part of the hardcore-punk scene regardless of how bad they wanted to be.
wasnt it just called scenecore back then? it was just shit tier metalcore/deathcore
Nah the scene actually being called scene was enough
maybe it was just an aesthetic like cyber goth.
they were part of the "looser scene" where there abusive step parents beat them lol
In my city, Philly, it was R5 productions, so you’d go on their website and see what show was happening and then you’d go to it. None of that “eh i dont like their music” shit, you just GO to be SEEN (scene). People who did this all the time recognize each other and make up the scene
In my experience, they were initially called "scene" insultingly because they were seen as scene-hoppers. They were the same kids who had frosted tips and fire-pattern shirts a few years earlier, who had jumped onto the bandwagon of what was popular at the time. I think they eventually co-opted it as their own label though.
See here’s two different yet compatible perspectives, cause you called them “scene hoppers” but in my view we were just trying to go to as many shows (or whatever genre) as possible
As a small-town Brit, I assume the scene kids from my area were very different to the ones in your city, half the world away. I'm just talking from my personal experience.
the scene kids all went to the post-hardcore/screamo bullshit shows
IE: WARPED TOUR
I'M AN EMO KID NON-CONFORMING AS CAN BE
It was called scene because they were their own scene and nobody wanted them.
They hopped into edgy trends like a motherfucker.
this
every girl who was scene back in the day is now a trans/nonbinary/gendernonconforming/whatecerthefuck it's all trends to them that they think have meaning until the trend stops and they move on to the next thing
back when I was a teenager all the scene kids went to lamb of god and hatebreed shows and stuff like that
it was emoscene in my town. they mixed with the metalcore/hc/punk crowd sometimes.
mostly this
except i know guys, too, who transitioned etc
this
I'm pretty sure the term is derived from a time when there was a lot more local lesser known emo bands that would play a lot of basement shows and people who were part of the group that attended or played those shows were labeled as scene.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH I'M SO FUCKING LONELY AND HORNY
Vans warped tour bands that played post-hardcore, metalcore and deathcore.
