Nothing is scener than being able to one up your friends by pulling out some deep meaning from a lyric or a poem thanks to your high school English class. Why just show off your fashion sense (or lack there of) when you can show off your (not so) profound intellect. Great for making you sound like a pretentious asshole, scenesters love finding metaphors, double entendres, imagery, and puns in anything they can. Scene Kid 1: “Dude, Shaant is such a genius! Don’t you get it “it just deepens/depends on how far down you can go” is saying that the more dick you suck, the bigger a whore you are. He’s like a lyrical Einstein!” Scene Kid 2: Yeah, but Buddy from Senses Fail is so much more intellectual. He reads..poetry… Scene Kid 1: I suppose so, but just cause he reads Bukowski doesn’t mean he is Bukowski. Scene Kid 2: Yeah, whatever…… you just don’t get it dude… The only cooler than being able to read between the lines of your favorite scenester jams is being able to write your own words with thirty different meanings. Next to any good scene kid’s copy of Everybody Hurts is a thesaurus and a dictionary. While scribbling away in their Moleskines, scene beans can up their so-called complexity with a fluffy word replacement. “Your love circles my ribcage like a rope, dragging me down with you and every single neon pair of Nike Dunks you wear….the metaphor for my love is as real as you and I John Ohh!” How’s that for “shallow as a shower”? Who really needs Keats, Dickinson , and Wordsworth when there are record stores full of material to be dissected by angsty boys and girls with swoopy haircuts and boat shoes…. really now?
