Keffiyehs

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. First popularized in the scene by Pete Wentz, from Fall Out Boy’s tour in France  (where the scarves have been sold for years in flea-markets), the scarves have literally wrapped themselves around the scene.  Urban Outfitters hopped on the trend, but replaced original white and black scarves with douche neons to satisfy the true scene kid need and once again became the safest, most politically correct line of “independent” clothing. Suddenly, scenesters have found a solution to many of their everyday issues: -Messy eating habits: who cares if you spill Chipotle all over yourself, nobody can see the beans and rice on your shirt  when you scarf is 30 different colors. It looks like you have something in common with Caleb from 1997’s daughter; you both rock bibs. -Remember that chest piece you got with a Drop Dead Gorgeous lyric on it? Thanks to your keffiyeh, can cover it up and still wear a deep v. No more constant regret every time you look in the mirror. - You kind of look like you’re wearing designer. Houndstooth and terrorism don’t really look that different, do they? Maybe Keffiyeh’s aren’t the most socially conscious scene trend, but they do keep you warm, and all your favorite rock stars wear them. That, and I bet you look  great sporting a keffiyeh while listening to the new War Child: Heroes comp you picked up the other day.
