Hey Brootal Kid, YourSceneSucks!

Living in the east bay sometimes alienates me from some of the "typical" city-dwellers. Sure, Berkeley has it's breed of fashionistas and hipsters, but the greatest diversity of scenesters is in San Francisco itself.


A few years back, I remember seeing a sketch of the traditional emo kid diagramming every detail. From skinny jeans to a unique haircut, it was a pretty hilarious. A guy who must be a true character himself, Rob Dobi was the genius behind "How to dress Emo" and now he has a new and improved site.

Yourscenesucks.com has 20 updated types of scene-mongers, complete with diagram and descriptions. With vivid illustrations and equally witty copy, this site is one that deserves to get passed around the office. My favorite has to be the the "Popcore Dork:"

Also, "The Myspace Whore " is pretty classic with her T-mobile sidekick and lack of pants. Overall, the site is not only entertaining, but almost an anthropological look at the trends of today. That is, what possesses a "Scene Queen" tp have pink-tips and metallic hot shorts?

I actually think I fit in somewhere between the "Williamsburg Hipster" and your "Traditional Emo Girl." The guy I fall for: "The Orgcore Punker"...minus the smell. :)
