Scene kid Struggles

being scene is fun, but sometimes it can be really annoying. I've made a list of my biggest scene kid related struggles ^^

aka Me complaining about stuff that is 1000% a hell of my own making

1. The wind is my #1 enemy bc it fucks up my hair. I take SOOO long to style it just for a small breeze to ruin it 

2. bullying. its a given for any alt subculture, including scene. 

3. vintage sizing. I love authentic scene clothes but none of them fit because I'm not a size XS 

4. summertime. sweaty bangs in my face = hell. so are skinny jeans and just wearing black in general. 

5. forehead acne. greasy fringe in ur face 24/7 will make you break out if ur prone to it. 

6. band allegations. every scene kid has had the horrific experience of finding out that one of their fav artists are horrible people. this is scarily common in the scene :(

7. inhaling enough hairspray to kill a man almost everyyyy morningggg 

8. spilling black nail polish is impossible to clean

9. crippling caffeine addiction (thanks, monster!)

10. piercing issues (infections, keloids, ect.)

11. Knee high converse!! no one talks about how they break rlly easily and how the zipper digs into ur calf after a while. plus limited ankle movement, so you cant run, jump, or go down stairs very well  (>_<)

12. Hairspray will make your bathroom soooo damn messy omfg. like it gets genuinely everywhere so you've gotta wipe down every surface just so it wont harden into a giant shell.

13. heavy eyeliner makes my eyes water a tonnnn

14. trying to wear glasses WITH your emo fringe. bangs over or under the frames? who knows. 

15. people reselling a (previously) 12 dollar CD or 7 dollar hot topic tee from 20 years ago for 400 plus dollars just because the scene is "coming back" or whatever

in conclusion, Im a whiny bitch 

* may be added to If I have more to bitch and moan about in the future
