Despite its initial decline in popularity in the mid-2010s, scene fashion lives on through sophomore Tara Pishvaee.

Both a fashion style and a genre of music, scene subculture came into Pishvaee’s life through the internet when she was young.

“A lot of the music drew me to [scene] and also the hair, how colourful it was,” Pishvaee said.

Like Pishvaee, teenagers of the past were also drawn to scene, as the style had its heyday in the early 2000s.

Scene originated from American emo culture and mostly gained its ground through social media websites like MySpace. What it means to be scene varies among “scenesters,” as they are called, but the fashion is generally tight, androygnous, and colourful.

“Dress however you want; it doesn’t matter what other people think.” Said Pishvaee.
