Answer : Probably because so many people associated it with the emo culture and there is huge hate for the emo lifestyle due to misinformation spread online, many just don't like it cause it's deemed 'cool' not to and they are trying to fall in with the crowd and me accepted.

Question : Why do so many scene kids tend towards bisexuality?

Answer : A good question, my guess is that it started off with it being a think of freedom much like within the punk movement. And sadly people picked it up as some kind of trend, calling themselves bisexual even when they really are not and thinking that kissing someone of the same sex makes you bisexual (it does not). Sadly there will always be followers who do things for attention and just to fit in, the whole sexuality thing is one that seems to be sucked in a lot. Now you have plenty of girls that think guys kissing is hot and then the guys essentially decide to do it to try get with the girls who like it and it's gone past sexuality and just to acting. Quite insulting to those who are truely bisexual or homosexual.
