Scenesters are extremely widespread on Myspace and Livejournal. If a Livejournal rating community is not run by 14 year old ana Paris Hilton worshippers, it's guaranteed that it is run by scenesters.

Scenesteritis is a dilapidating disease closely related to faggotitis. It is fairly contagious and those with low senses of identity are especially at risk. Avoid spending a prolonged amount of time with anyone with scenesteritis, even if you have a low risk of catching the disease. The actions and general aura of scenesters have been known to drive some into a mad, seething, homicidal rage.

The most general symptom seen in those suffering from scenesteritis is an obsession with irony and an uncontrollable need to apply it liberally in any and all situations.


Other symptoms of scenesteritis include:

• Penchant for the colors black, white, hot pink, pastel green, olive, light pink, and anything neon.

---

• Penchant for striped, stars, and polka dot patterns.

---

• Penchant for handguns, images of handguns, sounds of handguns ("BANG"), "guns go bang", etc.

---

• Always, always, always owns a Myspace. Having a Livejournal is optional, but if he/she does, the username typically contains a long string of pointless underscores (not because the name he/she wanted was taken, but because it looks cool). He/she also changes journal names extremely often for no reason.

---

• Uses the ♥ symbol and letter X a whole fucking lot, sometimes as a signature in comments.

---

• Propagates the unfunny old meme phrase "kthx" ad nauseum, usually to the point where they end every sentence with it. Other variants are "kthxbai/bye", "kthxdie", "stfu plz kthx", etc.

---

• Has emo-esque hair that is very jagged and sleek looking. One long spike sweeps over half his/her face. It is almost always duo- or multi-colored in a bad way.

---

• Seemingly unexplainable obsession with robots and dinosaurs, particularly drawings of them. If a team of paleontologists discovered an entire Euoplocephalus skeleton in rural western Idaho, or if it was learned that CRASAR polymorphic Super Bujold robots are exploring collapsed buildings in New Orleans, a scenester will most likely not give a shit. Also, likes the phrases "RAWR" and "BEEP BEEP".

---

• An affinity for pirates, ninjas, unicorns, and the occasional zombie is shared as well. Scenesters are under the impression that randomly saying, "I'm a ninja" in public places or a mypsace bulletin will ensure much lulz. What scenesters don't realize, is that by saying that very phrase do they prove the age old theory that all scene kids are a waste of sperm and egg.

---

• Two words: internet disease.

---

• Very Mizundast00d.

---

• Greets people with insults, typically "skank(s)", "ho(s)", and "slut(s)".

---

• Says "NIGGAZ", "NIGS", etc. a lot, under the delusion that it is funny.

---

• Creates, promotes and applies to dozens of rating communities. These and layout- and icon-related communities are the only Livejournal communities they will be a member of.

---

• Penchant for "retro"-style artwork and design.

---

• Both females and males will wear a shitload of eyeliner.

---

• Calling yourself scene like a dumbass, without realizing its an insult.

---

• Purchase too much Hello Kitty shit and have Myspace names that have to due with harming another person such as Mikee Br00tal, Michael Massacre, or anything else to due with Virginia Tech.

---

• Fitted-Hats, Gym shorts, Nikes or track shoes, and a band t-shirt--the proper scene uniform.

---

• Septum Piercing, Snake-Bites, gauges that were shaped too fast because they wanted to fit-in quick, so now they have thin spots, or a busted earlobe that looks like utters of a cow.

---

• A Scenester MUST have an obsession over old retro stuff they probably never cared about prior to being infected with scenesteritis. For instance, every scene kid MUST love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

---

• Overusing the word "cunt", because it's so taboo and offensive.

---

• Putting text in brackets for some reason.

---

• :]

---

• Clothing is...oh you know what, fuck it. Scenesters are all hipster faggots and if you ever come across one, beat it within an inch of its life for being a part of the most retarded piece of shit gimmick fad in recent memory.
