After a redesign of the site and added features, Scene Styles will be adding plenty new scene and emo images in the coming weeks, along with possibly some new hair styles and new trending fashion styles which are becoming more popular lately. We've been lacking on the alternative fashion news for a little while now due to my busy-ness. But keep an eye out as there should be lots of new cool stuff coming up over the next few weeks.

Also a reminder that you can find Scene Styles on facebook!!

I'm proud to announce some big new changes to Scene Styles.

Firstly for those who have been here before you will notice a large change in the layout, this new layout will make for a better aligned forum and easier to read articles. 

Secondly there are over 20 new images added to the gallery, remember that you can easily add your own scene and emo pictures.

Thirdly, I am looking for pictures of bands or reviews of band albums. So if you want to write a review for the site or allow me the usage of photographs you have taken of bands (the files will have your name associated with them so you will get credit for them), please feel free to do so and e-mail it to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Hope you like the new look, and remember to check out the forum which should now be a lot better and cleaner to use.

Also just a reminder of the community builder application that scenestyles now uses, you can keep in touch with other emo kids and scene kids by contacting them through the add friends option and asking for a 'connection'. Users also have their own gallery options and a bunch of other neat stuff that you should check out!

One may have noticed the general decline of scene kids in recent times, and the rise of a new sub-culture. Well not exactly new, but definitely becoming more popular among teenagers. The hipster fashion seems to have taken over from scene. What is hipster you ask? Hipster is basically to Indie what scene was to emo.

I've gone through the origins of emo and scene in other articles on the site, but as emo gained mainstream stardom many self-proclaimed emo kids converted to becoming an 'Indie kid', where the criticism wasn't quite that bad. If you look at bands like Bright Eyes, which have been referred to by many as 'emo' while in fact folk/indie you can see the connection between indie and emo music. Numerous emo bands have used indie elements in their music so turning into indie as plan B was first choice for many emo kids.

What happened after that is that scene started gaining the same popularity as emo did, and as such many scene kids turned to hipster fashion. Hipsters incorporate more of an 'open minded' view on music genres and listen to anything from electro and indie and underground independent hip hop bands. Hipster kids, like indie kids are often into the arts, though some hipster kids can often be found on the sides of roads together, think of it as the street gang of white suburban artists.

The look itself is a lot different to scene's look, with a slightly more conservative look. Hipsters can usually be told apart by their colourful stockings, beads, shortish hair or checked shirts. They have also incorporated large glasses into their arsenal, a feature that was present in the early emo styles.

Hipster will likely become the next big thing and leave scene and emo in the dust, as tends to happen in these situations. Retail clothing shops are already stocking up on hipster fashion style clothing and when you go to gigs now days you are bound to see more hipsters than emo kids. Don't be surprised if we start catering for hipster kids on scenestyles too. After all, they used to be our brothers and sisters back before mainstream ate up our culture.

First of all, I have installed a social networking feature on the site... You can read it either by "my profile" or "add friends"... This feature will allow you to upload images under your username, set-up your profile, add and communicate with others etc.

I am also running a competition till the end of August. Submit artistic scene and emo photographs to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and the top 3 will be added to the front page and users will be able to vote on the best image and it will then be put in the gallery, wallpaper and front page of the site with credits to the photographer and links to their website of course. Great way of gaining exposure.
