This Is Going to Get Me Into Trouble

I started a new blog.

For a while now, my best friend Corey and I have been fascinated by the ridiculousness that is the "scene kid." Today at graduation rehearsal, my friend John asked me what the difference between an "emo kid" and a "scene kid" is. To me the difference is pretty obvious, but that's because I'm really boring and I think about these sub genres of cliques a lot. So I guess the main difference is that scene kids love themselves. I mean, REALLY love themselves. They think they are awesome in so many ways that we would never be able to understand.

Also, they tease their hair like they're in an 80s hair metal band.

While I absolutely despise everything they stand for and everything that they listen to (any genre of music with the suffix "-core" is pretty much guaranteed to suck), they do get what they aim for: attention. You would not believe how much attention these kids want. They would LOVE for the paparazzi to follow them around all day; in fact, most scene kids consider themselves famous (having over 10,000 friends on Myspace is, regrettably, just about as notable as Amy Winehouse's latest crack-binged video of her raising baby mice).

So, I'm going to give them what they want and give them a ton of attention by making a new blog that is entirely devoted to the "scene kid of the day." While it is sarcastic at best, bad press is better than no press!

Right?
