Tips & Warnings !

{ TIPS ! }
Be random, but don't overdo it. You may sound cool if you blurt out something out of context once in a while, but no one wants someone who screams "Purple hippos!" every ten seconds.

Make sure your scene hair isn't too wild, or you won't get enough adds on MySpace. Although most scene hair is known for being outlandish, if you go overboard, you may be labeled a poser.

Some people will hate you. Those people include punks, ska kids, and most members of the scene or local visitors of the local venue that are not scene kids. Don't label people, and then they might not hate you. You are all people, not separate species.

Don't limit yourself to one scene style, as there are many; Glamour scene and glamcore are also scene. They just have more to do with designer labels.

Use popular scene kids for inspiration on how to look and dress. Examples of these would be Raquel Reed, Audrey Kitching,Philfingerbang, Zui Suicide, Kiki Kannibal, and Hammy Horror.

Don't use scene language that is outdated, like "rawr".

Make sure that you are very careful with your hair. It's good to use a thermal protection spray applied in your hair before your straigten or curl. It's also nice to buy lots of hairspray. Brands lilke Bed Head, Big Sexy, or Beyond Zone are all reputable brands.

When adding yourself to social networking sites, stay away from Stardoll. Stardoll contains a lot of posers trying to get a reputation in the scene world.

The first rule of being scene is talk about being scene.

Don't change to scene in one day. You will be labeled as a poser, and will look like a wannabe. It should be a gradual process, one that could range from a month to a year. I know you are so impatient but keep it on the DL and study up on the attitudes of other scene kids.

The second rule: don't copy other people. Don't live with others copying you but keep your innocence *play it* when confronting them, if you do. If you are a copyer yer a definett POSER.

Don't dye your hair too often or else you will damage it. If you ignore this your hair will become wiry and you know what happens when mixing up all teh colors of the rainbow? brown ick.

Avoid stereotypes about the scene scene and the emo scene. This will only distract you from becoming a good scene kid/person.

As soon as you decide to start acting scene, don't automatically label yourself as such. People will think you are trying too hard, and you will most likely be excluded.

Understand what a Kandi Kid is and make sure that isn't who you are before going for this. Kandi kid guys are the ultimate heartthrobs of many so watch out.

If you buy every single bit of your clothing from Hot Topic, people will be able to tell. You don't necessarily need to know how to match colors but in extreme cases go easy on mixing the patterns.
