Absolutepunk.net is CNN for scene kids. Yeah, we know they try and cater to independent music in general, but really, its scene. They’ve combined a constant flow of everything going on in the scene with some social networking, and message boards with just the kind of drama scene kids love. Absolutepunk, or as true scenesters call it, AP.net,is an internet megaplex of shit talking and Fall Out Boy love.

 Maybe you thought you were the scenest bitch in town with your skinny jeans so skinny you have to zip the zipper with a fork. Well, I hate to break it to you and your pink hair extensions, but there are plenty of scene kids out there with fabric on their legs even tighter than you. Unfortunately, for most passer-bys, rather than wearing actual pants, scene kids everywhere have started sporting leggings instead.

Scenesters have always run rampant in cities or major areas with at least one venue. But it was not until 1988, when Hot Topic was first placed into every mall in, every suburb in America, that the scenster (or what used to be “punk”) trend spread like gonorrhea on an episode of Degrassi.

Scene kids may be fashionable, but they are far from politically correct.   Keffiyehs, the scarf that represents Palestinian support in  the war on Gaza, have somehow become part of a scene kid neckwear epidemic.
