Scene Fashion Versus Emo Styles

Scene Fashion Versus Emo Styles

These two have been considered to be the same peas of a pod for many years, but scene and emo are very, very different. Emo is more about emotions, especially those of the darker kind. It started as a musical movement in the eighties and has transformed into a cultural phenomenon. However, scene is all about all kinds of music, and happiness, and rainbows. They’re as different as male and female! Cats and dogs! Butterflies and spiders!

First of all, emo kids usually wear darker clothing. They lean more towards patterns as opposed to cartoon characters. Stripes are popular, plaid (in some cases). But scene kids wear brighter clothes and pretty much dress the same as anyone else, just with more accessories.

The makeup really isn’t much different. Scene does have a bit of elegance that emo doesn’t, but there are a few emos who choose something more eloquent. They both like to wear neon, bright colors and dark eyeliner or dark eyeshadow. However, emo boys are more likely to wear makeup (at least eyeliner) than a scene boy.

Lastly is the hair. While scene gals and guys have their poofs, emos have their spiked, jagged cuts. While scene kids prefer longer, more flowing hair, emo kids prefer something harsh and spiky. However, it is a matter of preference. Some girls who are emo prefer to have longer, less jagged hair. Then again, some scene girls like their hair to be shorter.
