Although scene
is related to punk and emo, anyone who is deep into scene (or emo for that matter) will tell you that they are
not the same. From what I've observed, the biggest differences between scene and emo are clothing, personalities, outlooks on life and perception of themselves. For
starters, most scene kids don't discuss or admit to being scene. (Why? I think it's something similar to the movie
Fight Club where members are told not to discuss fight club-- I suppose it would get them in trouble with other scene kids, and would make it seems less cool and more poseurish. That, and the fact that scene kids don't like to be labeled
period, not even as "scene".) Scene kids aren't afraid to wear brightly colored clothing, accessories and hairstyles; have very sassy, bubbly and outgoing personalities; and are generally pretty content with life. Emo kids generally wear darker colors, are very pensive and often withdrawn socially (except maybe from other emo kids), and seem to be quite discontent with life. And so, this lens focuses on scene, not emo.
