Popular Scene Kids Music
As a scene kid you need to learn and sing along with the latest music. Sometimes you also need to compose your own. Popular scene kids music comes in many and different genres.
Rock music provides a recipe for the scene kids to sample. It is enjoyed in its hard rock or classic rock versions. There are those kids who associate with Heavy Metal Rock music to bring about their perceived hardcore nature, as this is highly valued in the scene world.
Rated popular by the scene kids is Punk music sampled in either pop or skate versions. There are also those kids who prefer such genres as Techno, Dance music and Trance. For any piece of music to be popular in scene kids it must be relevant to them and among the yardsticks for this is that it has to be worded well, with the correct rhythm heavy beats and most importantly must be played loud.
A piece of music is also popular among the scene kids if it originates from a highly rated musician and this does not really mean he or she should be highly rated by the larger society. Music from artists such as Lil Wayne, T.Pain, Tupac Shakur, Kanye West, and Shaggy among others is popular among the scene kids whether or not the language used is of obscene nature. Music with a theme of love is also highly regarded. This is contrasted with such genres as country music, which is considered for the non-scenes and reggae as old-fashioned and therefore to the scene kids its nothing but noise.
A nice piece of music for the scene kids is therefore recent in its rhythm, from a popular artist, must be accompanied by scenic videos and properly worded such that it fits well into the scene.

Latest Scene Kids Trends For 2010
Latest Scene Kids Trends For 2010
There has evolved a culture and a label into the scene, bringing about a fascinating trend in youth groups in all aspects of life. There are a number of areas in this latest scene kids’ trend associated with this label and used as criteria to determine whether or not you are an insider or you are just posing as a scene kid. It melts back to whether one is capable of living up to its expectations or sits back and let the cool guys take charge. Trends that define scene kids are many and diverse.
Latest dressing trends in scene kids involve bright neon colored clothes for girls which must go well with the current fashion. This is better when these clothes appear in multiples as every day is considered a unique one and being in the same style of clothes is no longer considered ‘cool’ in the scene world. If you are not in tight fitting and skinny jeans from a reputed designer, well matched shoes and long and colored hair- natural or with extensions- then you belong to another world.
As a scene kid you also need to wear colored make up and fake eye lashes with the originality it deserves.
A scene boy is bound to clad in cool expensive designer labels with huge sunglasses, belts and classic shoes which if the pair is of different colors, the better. T-shirts with favorite and famous personalities in the scene world are also very cool.
You do not belong to the scene if you cannot speak its language. Names and words are twisted to suit and others invented. You may not lyk3 th!s but lol…it’s the reality.
Scene world is not complete without learning the latest pop music and singing along. Taking pictures in different angles and as a scene group eventually ends at the coolest social networking site such as facebook.

Scene Kids Winter Fashion 2010
Scene Kids Winter Fashion 2010
Every season has its dictates when it comes to the choice of clothing to wear both indoors and outdoors. True as this may be, fashion trends and tastes take center stage in the choice of outfit that scene kids prefer during winter in their quest to retain their identity distinct from the rest.
Winter coats which normally come in black, brown or grey colors are preferable in such climatic conditions but in the scene kids’ world, these coats are better when they are in mixed colors and designed uniquely with bright plaids and interesting prints. Scene kids usually prefer those coats made of their favorite material such as fur. However it does not matter much if they are truly fur or not as long as they look gorgeous and fabulous. These coats are then matched with winter shoes or boots which are also of bright color. The skinny summer jeans gives way to warmer outfits such as sweater dresses and designer tunic dresses.
It is fashionable to the scene kids to wear laced knee high boots. To add to the fashion, they are then equipped with shiny rings around the ankle to look fabulous and fashionable. They are also supplemented with stockings to match. These trends are usually dictated by the fashion leaders and icons in form of famous personalities rather than the true dictates of the climatic conditions.
Scene kids will therefore go for those outfits which are not only warm but cater to reinforce their scenic preferences as seen in those that they idolize or emulate. Skivvies and versatile dressing styles are just the thing in winter scene fashions. Hip ties are nice with sweater dresses while bright belts are fancied by the scene boys during winter.
To the scene kids therefore, looking and dressing fabulously and fashionably cannot be deterred by weather, always gorgeous and scenic is the way to go.

DIY: Rosettes
Rosettes are the perfect way to jazz up a plain outfit or to add a little girliness to your boring look! You can put them on jackets, scarves, headbands, shoes, and purses. Just be creative! Making rosettes out of ribbon, or an old strip of fabric, is super easy! There are a lot of styles of rosettes, but I’ll teach you a basic rosette shape that you can easily experiment with to create new looks.
1. Find a good material: Organza, silk, and brocade make very romantic rosettes while cotton or wool make a good, basic rosette. A 2-inch wide ribbon works well, and if you take a scrap of fabric you may want to sew right sides together and turn it inside out (as if you were making straps) to hide the raw edges. Experiment with different lengths for different looks. A good length to start with is 12 inches.
2. Stitch and Gather: Make a basting stitch down one side of the ribbon (or the middle for a different look). Then pull on the thread at one end, so that the ribbon gathers (or scrunches up in lay language).
basting stitch
3. Connect the edges: Stitch a secure knot where the two ends overlap into a circle. (hand sewing is always the easiest). Often times, you only have to sew the corners together on the side with stitches. This step really depends on how you want your rosette to look. Once you gather the ribbon, it will begin to look like a little flower, so you can use your instincts while finishing it up!
4. Add embellishment to finish it up: Sew a little button, bead, etc. to the middle of the rosette to add a little flair, if you want! Not all rosettes need something in the middle but it often improves the look a lot!
Add rosettes to your purse!

Trend 2010: Nails
In fashion, details are everything. So while it may seem ridiculous that trends even exist for ways to decorate the tough bits of keratin protruding from a persons finger, the truly fashion-conscious will always remember that fashion merely exists in generalities; it thrives in detail.
How to File and Buff Your Nails
Just thought it would be a useful opening.
Make sure you have: nail clippers, an emery board (no metal nail files unless you want to shred your nails to pieces), a nail buffer with at least 3 types of grain, and preferably some kind of hand and nail moisturizer. Cuticle oil is optional, but I highly recommend it.
1) Wash your hands/nails. If you have a nail care kit, this is where you use the brush to get the grime from under your nails.
2) Dry your hands thoroughly: you dont want to buff or file nails after a bath as this will cause the nails to flake
3) Trim your nails with nail clippers, but leave enough nail to file later
4) Sweep the emery board across the top of the nail again and again. If you want a square nail, sweep it straight across the tip of the nail. If you want a curved shape, gently slide the emery board across each corner. The file should only lightly touch the nail. Do not file along the side of your nails, but rather slightly underneath it so you dont get a rough edge.
5) If you're going to polish your nails, you don't need to buff them.
6) The course surface of a buffer is used to remove ridges, the smooth surface gives the nail a shine, and the third is generally a final polish. There are some buffers with 4 sides though, but those will often tell you in what order to use the sides.
7) Move the course surface across the nail horizontally. Stop when the ridges are smooth. Don't buff ridges more than once per month or you will end up with excessively thin nails.
8) Buff them to shine
9) Use the final side of the buffer to complete. You can do this every week to keep them shining.
10) Use moisturizer
Note: Do NOT cut cuticle. Some people say trimming them is okay, but I say best avoid it as this can cause them to overgrow. Instead invest in cuticle oil (it's usually not very expensive) and use tools to push them back. You should do this before you buff your nails.
Furthermore, clarifying a popular myth: While keeping your nail polish in your refridgerator will prevent decoloration due to reduced solvent evaporation, putting a highly flammable fixture in a sealed box with a motor is never a good idea, so just be safe and put your nail polish in a dark, cool spot.
Winter 2010 Trends
Nail colors this winter are very dark, from the classic black to darker hues of red, blue, and purple. Metallic finishes or anything with a slight shimmer are preferable, however, just like everything else, you should consider what color works for you best. If you have darker skin tones a strong black nail polish or an aubergine with a slight shimmer will work well. If you have a tan complexion, a deep purple or red with a metallic shimmer will flatter your olive complexion. Finally, if you have fair skin, shades of blue or red's with a brownish tint will allow you to exercise these trends without seeming gothic.
If you're a little more conservative and black is too strong for you, nudes in opaque are bold but still natural.
The nail shape for 2009-2010 seems to have shifted from the square shape to more of a squoval (I know, cool word), 'natural' shape. Keep them short-medium: you don't often have easy-to-maintain fashion trends, so take advantage of it!
Designs
Half-moon manicure, or “reverse French mani”, hit the runways for Fall 2009 (e.g. Christian Dior) and seems to still be lingering around for Winter 2010. Designs for winter tend to be bold and simple, so half-moon manicures are probably the most elaborate nail design you'll be seeing this winter.
Nevertheless, I have my own creative explorations.
Please excuse my blurry photos :/
Piet Mondrian
This is my staple nail design. I discovered my love for Piet Mondrian some years ago and thus as a means of minor procrastination decided to use his designs for my nails. I consider this fashion move to be a sign of genius in me and thus you'll find it difficult to effectively insult me when I have bothered to do this nail design.
Here I try to attempt a Jackson Pollack-esque nail design, which I snagged from Seventeen magazine a couple years back, but of course they did it better.
Brands
Regardless of the brand, you should have at least a transparent top coat to avoid chipping. However, if you really want a good nail polish, Revlon and Lakme seem to be the top brands in nail polish. But really, anything as long as it isnt dirty-cheap will be fine.
