SCENECORE (rise of the posers)

I’ve been active in the blog section of space hey quite a bit recently and have noticed the trend of hatred for “scene-core”. 

The common definition for scene-core on here seems to be an infantilized, juvenile, and or watered down version of the original scene movement of the 2000’s. 

Listen everyone…I hate to be a hater…but all of you are f**kin right. These scene-core kids are undeniably posers. They are kids who tried to gage years worth of scene culture from 10 minute long tik toks. They have turned scene into a disgusting orgie of invader zim merch from hot topic and hyper pop artists with side parts. 

Keep listening though.

I don’t believe it’s these kids fault that they’re so ignorant. By the time that most of them were able to be sentient on the internet it had become a short form video based, monetized, hellscape. 

And an important thing to note about scene is that it’s very trashy and crass (in a great way). So I believe that if someone did genuinely try to educate these newbies to what scene really is they would be shut up by Artificially Intelligent Youtube, Tik Tok, Facebook, Tumblr, or even Instagram moderators. 

So they’re really in a kinda limbo. Most kids that aren’t in the scene aren’t aware of sites like this that are made by people and not for them. The internet is ridden with algorithmic bias that keep kids on the same side of the internet, hearing only what they want to, forever. Even more classic Sosh like tumblr has made the infamous “for you page”. 

They can’t be bothered to know what scene is because even if they wanted to they couldn’t just read a blog or a wiki page. 

Modern social media is truly doomed.

I don’t think that’s the only way to approach this though.

Another important point to remember is that emo has been so generalized and grouped in with other alternative subcultures. 

The most prominent example of this is popularization of the “e-girl or boy” aesthetic. The root of e-kids are industry-plant band listeners and hot topic addicted capitalists. They have NO culture because the founders of the movement weren’t real people they were big cooperations assumptions of what the scene was. 

So kids who saw the e aesthetic and liked it were already listening to other music and became a weird glue for all preexisting subcultures; greatly misconstruing the definition of all of them.

Which directly leads into the miseducation of scene and emo. 

Anyways, to the real ones out there turn up you brokenCYDE and part your hair to the side.
