Emo Versus Scene – What’s the difference?

There are two main trends among young people these days, the Emo look and the Scene look. Although they have been compared and though to be very similar, there are a few differences which tell them apart and it is these small changes that can determine a person from one sense of style to another.

With both Emo and Scene trends, the attitude is very much a part of the look and without the attitude, the package just isn’t complete. Emo kids tend to be very emotional characters and can also be rather shy and very calm whereas the Scene kids are more likely to be out there, socializing and having a good time. Bubbly is just one word that has been used to describe the Scene attitude as well as popular, outrageous and many more.

With regards to the general look of both the Emo and Scene kids, they tend to be rather similar. Crosses, skulls and other such designs are popular with both but one tends to add more color variations and slightly more wacky items are generally worn by the Scene group. Bright colors will usually be incorporated into a Scene hairstyle and short hair with various accessories is very often the style of choice.

Emo kids on the other hand are very much dark clothing wearers. Black and grey’s are always the best options here but there may just be the addition of a few neon colored accessories such as a scarf with skulls on with fluorescent pink designs on it.

All in all Scene and Emo kids may look very much the same in some respects, their outlooks on life are generally very different as are their styles of music and taste in clothing and colors. If you love bright colors, chances are you are a Scene kid and if you prefer to be dark and thoughtful, you are more likely to be Emo!
