Talk:What exactly is a "Scene Kid" anyway?/@comment-174.95.254.67-20131106223915/@comment-165.214.11.75-20150106171733

This is such a FAD, not a "lifestyle." Don't think that just because you all choose to dress alike makes you original. Oh, guys wearing eyeliner and skinny jeans, very original. Every teen group has had their own "trend setting" group, or so they think. They try so hard to be different or to be "themselves" that they all end up being little clones of eachother. If you work too hard at conforming to this "standard" then the idea is dead. Look how many people said "That describes me!" Yeah, exactly, it exactly describes a LOT of kids! Where's the originality in that?

Just how, exactly, is doing something to make your parents crazy something new? All this is just a way for dorky teens to put a label on their "originality" and make them feel like they're doing something powerful because they're being themselves. When in actuality they are conforming to an even more strict standard than anyone else. Just look at all the comments saying "if you ______ then you're not SCENE." Sounds like conformance standards to me!
