OTHERKINI remember when being “cool” meant being a skater or scene kid, not proudly announcing to the world that you identify as a fictional character and have literal schizophrenia.

I come from hick and hillbilly blood, but scene is a subculture back in the mid to late aughties to the early teens. Mostly liked domo, gloomy bear, invader zim, liked bands like brokencyde also wears neon clothing and what not. https://scene.fandom.com/wiki/What_exactly_is_a_%22Scene_Kid%22_anyway%3F

Looks like they took 80s punk rock and added a heaping of effeminate-leaning gender ambiguity with a dash of Tim Burton. It's almost like this is non-binary before there was officially non-binary. Like a warning of what was to come.

Kids who thought emo was cool but didn't want to commit to living as a black and white character.

Ah. I see what it is. I'm just old. Graduated from high school in the early 2000's. Thanks for answering my question!

No problem! Eh I don't think you're old. Old is like 60+ imo.
