So, you want to be a scene kid? Tip number one - do not ever tell others that you are a scene kid. Let them label you a scene kid themselves. But how they will do that when you do not have the attitude, dressing sense and interests of a scene kid? Tip number two - fake it! Yup, if being a scene kid does not come naturally to you, the only option you have is to copy the kids that you see around yourself.
Scene kids are loud, confident and believe in having a good time. They are on all the prominent social networking sites and make hundreds of online friends. Their make-up and dressing sense are very different from the regular teen fashion. Here are some handy tips for you.
Becoming a Scene Kid at a Young Age
Clothes
Scene kids mostly wear tight-fitting t-shirts and skinny jeans. So, when you go clothes shopping, keep this in mind. The t-shirts should have things like some kind of wording or graphic print or cartoon on them. Black and white are the most popular colors for scene clothing so include lots of white and black tees in your wardrobe. The jeans can be the regular blue colored or you can even opt for other bright colors depending upon your choice. If you like experimenting, then you can consider getting a white and black colored pair of jeans. Pay special attention when shopping for shoes. Opt for various kinds such as checkers, vans, flats, etc. that go well with your jeans and t-shirts.
Make-up
If you are very young, it is better to avoid too much make-up as chemicals in it can affect your young skin. To get the look, what you can do is instead of lipsticks, go in for lip gloss. Scene kids do heavy eye make up with lots of mascara, eye shadows and eye liners. To make your eyes stand out, you can invest in an eyelash curler instead. Apply Vaseline on your eyelashes before curling as it will give your lashes a very thick appearance. And once you get a bit older, say after two-three years, you can use the scene makeup ideas and start experimenting with neon eyeliner, foundation, blushes, lipsticks, etc.
Hairstyle
Scene kids have a typical haircut which involves lots of bangs and layers. You will need to go to a stylist to get such a haircut. Carry a photo of a scene kid with you and show it to the stylist so that she knows precisely what you want. Once you have the haircut you want, you can style the scene hair in whichever way you like by using hair clips, hair bows, hair extensions and hairspray.
Accessories
If you are really young, there is a possibility that your parents might not agree to you putting on make-up. If that is the case, then this tip will definitely salvage the situation. Ask them to get you lots of accessories instead! I am sure they would not have any problem with this. So, go ahead and shop for earrings, necklaces, bangles and tiaras. These kids always wear bright-colored chunky jewelry, so make sure whatever you choose is loud and bright too. There are some brands which have come up with a jewelry collection especially for scene kids, so if you can get hold of it, it will save you a lot of time in choosing accessories.
Attitude
Scene kids may dress up differently but one thing is common to all of them. They display immense confidence in the way they walk, talk and interact with others. And being confident in no way means that you have to be mean to others or make others feel small. You can be confident and at the same time be very nice to others. So, develop this sort of attitude in order to be a true scene kid.
Music
Develop an interest in rock bands. Listen to indie music, techno songs and screamo music. Gather as much information about these type of bands as you can and share it with the other scene kids in your school. This will help you in getting accepted among the scene crowd.
Online Presence
As a scene kid, you need to make your presence felt on the Internet. So, get yourself an account on the popular social networking sites. If you are too young, discuss it with your parents first. Post as many photos of yours online as you like in different poses. But before doing that make sure that the social networking site is safe enough. If you do not know about it ask your parents to help you in finding it out. Also, do not post your photos on any random website, as it can turn out to be dangerous.
Act confident, have fun, wear loud clothes and follow all the above tips and pretty soon other kids will start referring you as a scene kid.
