Week 5 - Subculture and Style

Blog Task 

The subculture I chose to look at was Scene, a youth subculture that came about in the early 2000's from the emo subculture that came before it. Scene differed from the emo subculture as those part of it were known for using a lot of bright colours in their fashion and hair, unlike emos who tended to go for dark colours and mainly black, however both are known for their enjoyment of alternative and rock music. The young people participating in this subculture were usually referred to as scene kids, and they would express themselves mainly through their fashion and alternative, rock music. Scene kids are known for their big, colourful, teased hair, with many choppy layers and side bangs. Piercings, skinny jeans, band t-shirts, and big eyeliner were also common fashion choice for the youth who were part of this subculture.
