goth -> emo -> scene kids

As if trying to work out how the goth and punk sub-cultures gave rise to emo wasn't bad enough, emo has begat 'scene kids'.

Don't ask me. I'm still trying to work it out.

In Australia, the 'scene kids' are adamant that they are not emo. See Sydney Morning Herald article 'Inside the clash of the teen subcultures' (30 March 2008).


Kirra Dare, Emma-Jane Scott and Eliza Coughlan, all 13, wear the Scene kids style

Even grown ups are a little confused. Fox 11 News undercover report (from 2007)


Why can't they just be punk?

Boring day at work. An exciting walk with Kane. Some house cleaning (clean sheets on spare bed, a clean of the bathroom) in readiness of Michelle staying over tomorrow night. That's all.
