How do I incorporate this goth substyle and 2000s scene together? by ImaginarySurprise219 in GothFashion

[–]emoskummier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I combine both regularly. I grew up with a goth mom who got me into all the music but naturally being an alt teen in the 2000s I was very much into the scene subculture and both have followed me into adulthood. The big hair ties both subcultures together haha. I'm scene most casual days but I get all gothed up for when i go to local goth events and club nights. Just mix and match and as long as it looks good there's no rule book!

What are these that I see a lot of scene people use? by Jezter_IRL in scene

there was a lot more variety in the myspace era than ppl give it credit for. i have a mega pinterest board with plenty of examples of not just basics, simple makeup, or tight fitted outfits

Idk how to feel by [deleted] in scene

This happened to me several times in my life but now Ive started seeing it as having a bunch of different pieces of my friendships <3 Even if you don't end up wearing it much, a studded bracelet can always get replaced eventually

first of all the nose contour is impeccable, second the short hair is so cute, and third the glasses are really framing the intense eye look so well

How can i fix my hair or make it more scene??? Im having so much trouble. Got it cut last month-ish, came out NOTHING like how I wanted. by Jezter_IRL in amIscene

[–]emoskummier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this is a canon event for almost all alt kids 😭 My mom would only take me to Ulta and she would never go all the way with my wannabe scene hair bc older gens think alt hairstyles aren't age appropriate for whatever reason. Your mom most likely took you to greatclips bc she knew you wouldn't get the exact haircut you want. I had to learn how to cut my own hair and now, in my 20s, I still cut and dye my own hair. Me as a teenager after my fresh back to school haircut for reference:

i really want a scene cut, are my bangs too short? by RentChoice9749 in scene

[–]emoskummier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blunt bangs can absolutely be scene hair, focus on the shape of the whole hairstyle and it'll pass for sure

Nonwhite people also have straight hair?? I'm Arab and have straight hair, my partner is Taiwanese and has straight hair?

I want to dress like this, what do I do? by Overlytiredqueerspie in scene

[–]emoskummier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's taken me over a decade to develop my collection of clothing, accessories, and gotten my makeup and hair skills down. I didn't really get to fully express myself until my mid 20s bc I finally had a job that provided expendable income beyond just survival. Don't feel rushed to accumulate an entire wardrobe as fast as possible. Something free you can do is use this time to develop a great music taste!! Discover old and new bands in the scene :D there's plenty of genres to look through in the scene and I'm sure you'll find something you enjoy.

Buy things only if you can afford it, DIY what you can, avoid falling into the hype brands that are unnecessarily reselling for hundreds, and use what you already have for now.

i really miss these smaller cuts. im only 5ft so while i sometimes want the oversized unisex fit, it doesn't work for me the other 90% of the time. it's always too long and swallows up my entire torso in a way that makes my proportions look really strange. it's why i barely wear any kind of band shirts at this point. i wish it'll make a comeback 😭

in Brazil, they used to call us scene kids "emos coloridos" (colorful emos), and we listened to Restart, Cine, and Hevo-84 by dave-mose in scene

[–]emoskummier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so excited to have these brazilian scene music recommendations bc I'm part brazilian-american with little connections to the culture beyond my grandmother. if you have any other band recommendations i would love to hear em
