Those girls who identified themselves as Scene were not emo. The way there were dressed is very different than emo. You'll notice the girl in the girl on the left has a blue shirt on. Not a pale blue which states 'I can't bring myself to be happy' but a solid strong colored blue. The girl in the middle is wearing pink. While it is the right color pink, being more faded out, not female emo that I ever knew would wear pink. That was reserved for the guys.
And if I remember correctly, There were emo kids before Myspace ever got really big. It just got most recognized on there.

I first heard of "emo" from a very (now) stereotypically "emo" male friend of mine back in 1994, when he shoved a Mr. Bungle CD at me. At the time, the term referred not so much to any style choices as to the musical genre "emocore." In fact, all the kids I knew in '94 who listened to emocore appropriated traditional skater fashions (JNKO, etc.)

I find the "You laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same" t-shirt incredibly ironic. For a bunch of alleged non-conformists, it's amazing how similar emo kids look.

Ahhh... emo... Goth without the black. The tight jeans are in style everywhere, and they're made for boys now too, not just girls.

LOL okay I just have to laugh because that picture of the Scene girls totally just looks like some glammed up 80s girls ala Cyndi Lauper. So really at its core its not new - they are totally copying my era Posts: 1132 | Registered: A Long Time Ago!

To me, scene looks like a mix between emo and a candy kid (a genre of raver named such do to a predilection toward hallucinogenic drugs).
Candy kids generally dress in bright colors with bright beaded bracelets and necklaces along with blinking lights, the purposes of which are to enhance visual stimulation under the effects of drugs, namely ecstasy.

It's an old fashion thing. It is popular because the jeans don't get in your legs' way while you skate and do tricks.

I wonder when the distinction between "scene" and "emo" came to be. Because when I was going to concerts, "scene" was just used by people who thought that the term "emo" was stupid and didn't apply to what they listened to, and that people who used the term "emo" didn't really understand what it meant, etc. But to the outsider they would look exactly the same: jeans, studded belt, band t-shirt and black hair.

I would just like to state my own amusement when one of these fashion monsters today discussed their disgust with the lack of punk in the new Panic at the Disco album. I'm not a Panic fan at all. But I found it amusing that they're comment was, "This doesn't sound like anyone else at all. What happened to their old sound? They're not punk anymore."
The new album is supposed to be more influenced by The Beatles and The Beach Boys. I guess you can see where their musical loyalty lies. With the bands that "sound like anyone else" that clog today's radio.
