Oh so emo/scenester and indie
First emo/scenester:
Fashion (Male) since itÂ’s all about the fashion and not about the music,
Hair: any haircuts from the 50Â’s or 60Â’s will do, you might be able to get away with this haircut. Hair color must be black

Its time to go shopping for your oh so emo clothing. You want to hit thrift stores but you also want to hit your local mall since you are in that between stages. Places to go to are any thrift stores along with Hot Topic and/or Black Fly. Since you are so emo brown is your favorite color along with black or any other drab colors. See these pics for examples:

Fashion (Female)
Hair: fuck it, just look at the pics for an idea. Color can be black or light blonde

Music: ahhhhh yes, the musicÂ…there really is only one band you need to listen to be an emo/scenesterÂ…that isÂ…Â…Â…Dashboard Confessionals, seriously thatÂ’s all you need, is every single fucking album that they have. You will eat, sleep, breath, piss, shit, and dream DASHBOARD CONFESSIONALS. They are your holy bible, you want to dress just like the lead singer (whatever his name is) and you want to sound just like him in your brand new band that you are going to just copy off of him. Other emo/scenester bands that you must have are: Taking Back Sunday, JaneÂ’s Addiction, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, and Bright Eyes. Are just a few to name for your emo collection. Notice how I didnÂ’t add any emocore (emo music with a bunch of horrid screaming) screamcore, hardcore (since emo kids arenÂ’t hardcore at all)
Lifestyle: you wanna be an indie kid but you still love your mainstream bands and your coffee, what other great place to go but Starbucks!!!!1111 or SeattleÂ’s Best. You can hit up the local coffee shops but you donÂ’t want to be seen with those indie fuckers. Remember to always carry a poetry book so you can write how sad your heart is or how your cat scratched you cause he hates you. Write about how you have no money for food even tho you still live with your parents and they are both CEOÂ’s for some co. and all they do is shovel money at you.
Indie:
Fashion: just like the emo kids minus the mainstream band t-shirts, and all you go to are locally owned thrift stores. No sir, Goodwill or Savers is too mainstream for you.
Music: really this is hard to teach, but local music, thatÂ’s it. Either from where you live or from other states, you are very anti-RIAA and you hate the emo kids that come to the same places you go to hear your bands, cause they want to be cool just like you. Some bands to consider: any band that isnÂ’t on the RIAA labels.
Lifestyle: just like the emo kids you love your coffee, but the only places you go to are locally owned coffee shops. In fact you are so elite, that if a coffee shop goes under new management and becomes more mainstream then you leave and never come back. *Cough* MoJoÂ’s *Cough* you also carry around a poetry book so you can write you sad poems on how people hate you and how elite you are.
