hey! could you post some recommendations for other scene kid channels ? or post the links to the youtube channels of the mutuals you reference in your videos? thanks :))
some of my mutual youtubers are: kellinisking, motherf4ckingprincess, bella boo, morgan thompson vlogs, and mad molly (there might b more but that’s all i can think of rn) i don’t watch a whole lot of scene youtube bc my attention span doesn’t exist BUT i would 100000% recommend checking out the cozy representative!!! he makes amazing well-researched videos abt scene/emo lore like the rise and fall of popular bands from the time, beefs between certain scene bands, generally just super interesting stuff that goes in depth about the culture as it was when it was happening so probably my fav channel ever
Thank you for talking about the toxic-ness in subcultures. I’m a black cosplayer and emo, so it was very hard to get into cosplay because I thought I couldn’t because I’m black. With emo I was just scared of being bullied.
People who are gatekeeping cosplay over skin tone are dumb. The whole point of cosplay is to dress up as someone you like, please don’t let them stop you. :D
yeah, people are telling me I’m not scene cause I’m fat, like almost every comment I get is that I’m not scene or my hairs bad or I’m too fat, it was like this for every other style I try
@@henrietta6801I know it can be hard to ignore people like that, but I'm a fat scene/emo guy too and I'd rather wear what makes me happy!! If people want to be shitty, just know you are awesome in whatever you wear and they just won't get to experience the wonderful person you are since they want to be haters!!
Honestly, gatekeeping subcultures is dumb and its js main character syndrome. If u dont let POC ppl dress however they want, ur js racist. Btw u look AMAZING
As an elder emo, I remember back in 2011+ I felt like I was too fat to be scene and emo, and I did dress the part as best I could, but people definitely made fun of me for it. But now I’m so thankful that people are a lot more accepting and actually enjoy seeing people with all sorts of body types. Now I am living my best emo life, as a full grown adult 😅🖤 I’m so glad Gen Z is embracing the fun parts of early scene culture, but with today’s social standards.
I was born in 2002 and since I was very young during the emo/scene era I wasn't able to be emo or scene but the few emo and scene kids I remember seeing back then I thought they were the coolest looking people in the world. The closest I was to emo back then was having mcr, falling in reverse, bullet for my valentine, and other emo and screamo bands on my ipod. 4 years ago I started to get into the early 2000s emo style and now the only thing im missing is the hair I have the length but thats it. Sorry for the long ass comment btw and if anyone decides to take the time to read it thanks!!! rawr XD Gawddamn I never thought i would get over 500 likes on a RU-vid comment lol
Same, dude. I mean I didn't dress emo and I didn't identify as one, but my two best friends dressed somewhat emo/scene. My freshman year of high school, that was probably the last time I ever saw a few emos bc the next year they just disappeared. It's sad bc I pretty recently started to call myself emo but there's no one around to join me xD
Haha that's cool yo! I'm 29 years old, so I was a teen when the emo/scene era started. I was literally the ONLY emo guy in my grade at school, since it was only the beginning lol. I felt so nervous about wearing skinny jeans etc. because not a single guy did. After a while more guys would wear skinny jeans, grow their hair and style it, etc. Lots of classic emo music came out during that time too. Btw yes I had long black-dyed hair swept to the side.
it really is!! like i’m definitely chunky but honestly i just hold fat in my middle like my ass,cooch, upper thighs, belly, back, and clothes just are made for me like it’s really upsetting too because i also love clothes and it makes me spiral every time i go shopping 😭😭
Aw im 24 and Hispanic/black and I really wanted to be emo/scene back then but I felt like I couldn’t do it because of my skin tone, curly hair, and body type. It’s so nice hearing you talk about inclusivity in this subculture, I wish we would have been having these conversations back then. Btw you’re gorgeous with and without makeup and your personality is very down to earth, really been enjoying binge watching your videos.
It's so nice to hear you talk about the fat phobia of the time. I was majorly into the emo/scene culture in my teens but felt I couldn't really be a part of the culture because I wasn't skinny. I was bullied for being 'fat' as a UK size 16 throughout my teens and never had the confidence to dress in the style I LOVED. I'm now 26, a lot more overweight, but I dye my hair however I want and wear as much eyeliner as I can because fuck society, I finally have the confidence to rock that style and I'm making up for my lost teens! Love your chanel so much, thank you for being so real and bringing back so much nostalgia. I need to go cut more layers in my hair! 😂❤️
Depending on the type of liquid eyeliner pen you use, you should be able to use some tweezers to pull the felt tip out and flip it over to get the pen to function like new for a couple more weeks
im 14 also hispanic and I' really enjoy dressing scene ,I live in a conservative area but I don't let it get pass me ,Why would I want to look boring lolzzzz >.
@@Melodies2319 Nope it's still up. All you have to do is download the desktop app for it and make an account. Unless u remember ur old information you can probably reactivate it. They do have a reboot of Webkinz now but it is not completely fleshed out yet
I’m 25 so in 2010 I was 14 and was “old enough” to dress alternative so I I highly enjoy watching your channel you remind me of how I used to dress when I was in my teens :)
Girl im 30 soon to be 31..im black..curvy,,. Im still a scene kid for life lol. Im way more confident in my self now vs how i was before 🤘😎 That was my era lol. Every artist from attack attack, bmth, of micev& men, sws, pierce the veil are all 30+ years old . I get so happy to see the style is around or making a come back. ♡ you remind me of the RU-vidrs from the early 2010s from your quirky personality, and your spazzy out burts about mental illnesses. I love it! *subscribed ♡
I literally love you omg I feel like we are friends in that bathroom talking doing our makeup together, I felt like I was in the room 🥺 I randomly found you trying to get inspo for alt outfits. The vibes you give are great ✨
Growing up in the mall emo phase being 12-20 and the time I can say I had PLENTY of plus size emo friends its was about shock value back than more than anything when it came to the emo/scene phase. But maybe that's just where I live
OK IM SORRY BUT I READ THAT AS HOW YOU SPELLED IT LIKE NECK-LESS LIKE I DONT MEAN TO MAKE FUN OF UR SPELLING BUT LIKE I WAS SO CONFUSED THAT YOU WERE COMPLEMENTING THEM ON THEIR NECK
I'm an OG scene kid and holy shit do I love the fashion still. I was definitely made fun of in those times for being a little above average weight. I was also made fun of for even wearing what I did because I live in a state where any alternative fashion is considered odd as fuck. I just wore what I wanted, did my hair how I wanted and stayed true to myself then and I still do now.
OH MY GOSH HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT MOSHI MONSTERS, I WAS OBSESSED WITH THEM AS A KID, I HAVE MEMORY LOSS FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND HOLY SHIT I JUST REMEMBERED ME BEING OBSESSED WITH THEM AND TAKING A COLORING BOOK OF THEM ON HOLIDAY
The fact that people born in the very late 2000s enjoying the emo/scene sub culture is so crazy to me! It’s honestly really cool, I was an emo kid in high school and that was in 2014. My friend at the time had introduced it to me. The emo sub culture was very much still alive, I went to warped tour in 2015, I had so many band tees from hot topic (back when they had a lot more band merch instead of pop culture) and would cut my own hair, I wasn’t allowed to dye it but that didn’t stop me lol. I always had full on winged eyeliner. Having a huge variety of music on my crappy phone with Batman earbuds. Oh my gosh those were the days, I even had a full on black veil brides shoulder bag for school. Now a days I’m very much into goth music and more metal sounding music along with 70s and 80s pop and I dress gothic now instead of emo. :)
I was born in 2006 and you’re so right on the fat phobic thing. I was really young in the 2010’ but I was growing up with monster high and barbies. The amount of body idealization in those years. I really felt like I look ugly if I don’t have a body like monster highs. I’m happy we are more sane about it today, because I feel like it affected me greatly till this day.
OMG ASDFGHJKL IVE NEVER RELATED TO SOMEONE THIS MUCH BEFORE!!! When you said; “but for some reason my interests will not progress from the years that I was 10, 11, and 12” OH MY GOD. I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY. I’m 22 and Neurodivergent (specifically ASD) and my interests literally haven’t seemed to change at all. The oldest I would say they’ve progressed to is 14 at the most. But after that age, I just seemed to come to a standstill. One of my biggest insecurities is that to the normal person, it seems a bit weird-like you said. I frequently find myself romanticizing the past/my childhood and I just don’t relate to this generation or society today at all. There’s so many things that are wrong and make me uncomfortable and aghhhh I can’t even explain it. But you literally took the words right out of my mouth!!! This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, and I definitely subscribed. Any content like this that makes me feel wholesome, nostalgic, and comfy inside... I’m all for.
yessss i relate to so many people in the asd community, wish i could get an assessment but as an adult afab without health insurance it doesn’t seem very realistic at the moment xD it’s very comforting having a group of people to relate to whether or not i have a diagnosis
@@acidmilk666 well, tbh I would suggest you do in depth research on RU-vid and other forms for a year or two (that’s what I did) like videos that ask you certain questions and go in depth about your childhood, things you did (or still do), development, social skills, etc. and there’s also a free test online (not like a Facebook quiz or something) no, like a legit several page test. I don’t remember what it’s called but I found it by researching how to asses if you are on the autism spectrum. It will tell you your exact severity. I’m pretty high functioning, but I still have major lack of social skills and social anxiety. And there just some personal things that I don’t want to go into cause I find myself embarrassing lol, but there are just some things I’ve always done since childhood that won’t ever “get better” also, don’t EVER let anyone tell you your symptoms as a person on the spectrum will “get better” autism doesn’t get better, it just is what it is. And people have to accept you for the way you are. After I got my diagnosis, I explained this to my mom and it’s been hard for her to accept the fact that there are just things that I will always do, or not do. It’s just the way we are. And I’d like to add, I hate when people say we “don’t function the same” or “don’t think the same” well, it’s not that we aren’t as smart as other people, in fact, sometimes we are smarter than typical people and can see things they don’t. So it’s not that we don’t have the ability to “think the same” it’s that, our brains are literally wired differently. So don’t let anyone ever say anything like that to you either
As an older millennial, almost 30 now, I lived through those scene/emo years. The scene queens like Kiki Kannibal actually went through a lot of hate, death threats, ect.. I remember reading her interview for rolling stone about it. Honestly there's bad and good with everything. Lots of hate during that time. Maybe it's nice people still want to dress like a scene kid or people who "didn't live through it." If you're not hurting yourself or others, why hate? It's like people who dress like hippies from the 60s, should we shun them too? No one owns a culture or fashion.. you do YOU!
Dude i love you and your videos. You've been feeding my scene obsession and watching your videos has been really comforting lately. You don't understand how much this stuff helps me and other people. Keep doing what you're doing
Hey! I just stumbled across your channel, fortunately enough for me you popped up on my YT home page, clicked right away cause of your style but totally subbed right away because of how genuinely yourself and confident you are! Can't wait to dive into your other videos! 🙂
Omg I randomly just found you and you make me so happy like once I get out of my zoom classes I’m gonna continue to binge watch your videos like I feel like you and I could actually have good conversations because you actually talk about real shit and it makes me feel good knowing you’re open for acception of people. Like for example I’m black and I’m slowly starting to be goth I guess you could say. I love the subculture a lot and got into it but the problem is my mom judging me. She even went as far as to asking if I want to be white because the dark makeup and clothes I wear and the choice of music I listen to??? It’s so fucked up but watching your videos and listening to you talk is really helping me feel confident so thank you and I will be gladly subscribing to you now!!!❤️💕
You see, you and I are very similar. Dream career is cosmetology, dyes hair every few weeks, dresses emo/ scene and is in the culture and undiagnosed neurodivergent. Wow.
omfg thank u for addressing 'fat' phobic stuff. like im emo but sometimes ill be going through my pinterest and be like, dang i will never get the style im wanting cause im not skinny. i never really got to experience the late 2000s scene/emo cause i was born in 06 and i was legit like 4 in 2010 and part of mes so grateful for that.
So ima t the part where your saying how body’s art fashion and I’d just like to say that as a fat person you and your channel has helped me to not give a shit and dress however I want and I want to thank you for that ♡
For many years I thought I couldn't wear what I want because of my weight, but now that I've seen so many brave girls wearing stuff for "skinny people" I'm more confident in myself
I'm just glad girls are somewhat allowed to wear what they want, excluding the pervs and haters of course. Like the expectations for women are so high and unrealistic its no wonder body shaming and ed were so normalized in early 2000's😕
Thats why alt culture always called out to me cause its all about being different and being an outcast and you meet the most amazing people in the community! I used to be bullied by most for being a asain emo kid who was also kinda chubby, but I feel like alt people are more accepting and so positive I love how much its growing! But hate how we got bullied so much back in the day🤧
Omg... same! Not having the money or confidence to go all out on the scene aesthetic and now that I'm almost 25, I'm finally starting to fulfil my teen dreams ( ≧∀≦)ノ
I was born in 1991 so I was old enough to be openly emo. Honestly, I was probably a bit less extreme than other emo/scene kids fashion-wise. I wanted to look more alt but I lacked that confidence bc of body image. I'm glad people are more accepting of the style nowadays. I miss those years at times because of nostalgia and I feel more restricted by my age (30 ;-;) as far as fashion. I'm trying to get over that. Thanks for making this video and honestly this whole channel. It's great to know the subculture is still alive.
its crazy to see this style alive and well in 2021. i find it interesting how the style from just ten yrs ago is still relevant, i thought itd be too soon since style recycles every 20 yrs but i guess nott🤷🏻♀️as long as youre happy rightt
Awww, girl, I got to experience the time a little bit in middle school & my freshman high school year, sadly it was kinda fading out though in my sophomore year, but it was a good time, I'm 24, & I still have my spider bites piercing I got when I was 14, times have changed, I miss my scene hair, I kinda want to do something similar though but not totally all out, but I'm scared I'll mess it up 💀
It's really nice to see "older" people still into the emo/scene culture, I'm 18 and I always feel so old when I see other gen z kids look so cool and they'll literally be 14- so jealous
since i was born in late 2002, i didnt get to be emo in the “golden ages” (as some would say lmao). butttt i was exposed to the music at a young age, like mcr, pov, sws, adtr, a7x... etc, etc. TW: i was a skinny white presenting person when i was a young teenager (2013-2018) and i was veryyyy emo (eyeliner and all). i don’t even know what i’m saying anymore but i love your demeanor. you inspire me to be more myself. love, kel💕 XD
The oil stuff from Sally's works! I'm convinced it's why I was able to bleach my hair four times in 2-3 days and still had hair. I was "emo" back in 2006 era and I love watching get ready with me vids and it's interesting to see the subculture coming back a bit. 😂
Do you remember what its called by chance? It would really do me a solid. I'm agoraphobic, and it would be incredibly helpful to relay the actual product to my partner, so its easier for them to find. 🥰
@@SoftxBunny hi! It's called "absolute perfection Booster. Step 1" the brand is ion color brilliance. I also do the after color sealer from the same line. I hope it works for you! I notice a difference when I use it. It won't stop your hair from totally breaking off so still be sure to be careful. ❤️
Girl u look perfect. U are fineee. Social media like Instagram is toxic af. Im In love with our subculture. I have curly hair and I have never tried out scene hair. I wanted to since I was 8th grade but now im 23y/o and its too late.
People with a high percentage of body fat can have an eating disorder. Skinny or small sized people are not the only ones with eating disorders. BED can cause lots and lots of weight gain.
Dude I’m 24 and was still young for scene culture, so I get it. I was also shamed because I’m Cuban and Italian and I live in Florida, so of course I was a little tan. Being scene is really for the Caucasians
I was born 2004 and I’m literally just like you, I’m into early 2010 to late 2000 emo fashion. I wanna cut my hair like yours but I’ve never cut my own hair before. Im just scared I won’t look good bc Im wasian and chubby. I know you said it doesn’t matter but it still gets to my brain. I want to have emo friends so I can get fashion advice and help to look more emo. Update I cut my hair like hers and I’m so happy with it
