Just because. Yes, their entire fucking "movement" is based on this.
Now if ever there was a group to beat the shit out of on general principle....

I see that most on Chud are viewing this as spectators. Since their teens are long gone. Me being 19, this is everyday life. I am on the front line of this tribalist bullshit.More info on scene, they are basically emos with no eyeliner or suicidal tendencies. They can kind of disguise themselves within an emo clique, but are easily spotted as they are the most upbeat. They even have their own catchphrase. It is as follows: whenever they hear of an event that is interesting, beyond belief, or just typical drama, the say, "...like...that is so SCENE!" Emos really hate them as they ripped off their style and listen to thier music without cutting themselves. Emos and scenes are generally avoided as freaks by the "preps" (being those who wear clothing such as Hollister, Abercrombie, or American Eagle). Essentially preps, emos, and scenes are mostly middle class people with the preps being content and happy with bland, hollow, consumerist lives, while the emos whine about it. Emos also have unwarranted self-importance as they think they are a movement against all that is wrong with society such as greed, yet they frequent the malls for new lip-rings at Hot Topic allthe time, thus furthering consumerism. Someone needs to show them what a real movement is.
Believe it or not there are other subgroups out there than the ones STORMIN mentioned. All these groups behave just like our genes, expressing themselves and also mixing with other subgroups to form new ones. For example the "seek" kids. They are a weird mix of raver and *gags* juggalo subgroups, with some reggae/rastafarian thrown in. There is also the Chan scene whic is basically people who are into anime and crave all things Japanese. This also means wasting money on imported shit and listening to j-pop. There is the HY (hitler youth) or LF (Little Fascist) clique which consists of those who want to go into the military and have wanted to their whole lives. They are so ready for it that they wear camoflage all the time, read nothing but Tom Clancy, play FPS's all the time, have Marines posters in their room, join JROTC, and readily argue the virtues of all military operations the US has ever undertaken, ALL of them. They also have their own Subgroups divided into the branch of service they want to enter, thus causing arguments betwen the army and marines types. There is also the IVY League, which consist of rich kids with expensive cars, expensive clothes, and an attitude who so want to be intellectual and are anal about SAT's and grades and behaving well so they can get into or transfer to an amazing school. They feign intellect and talent and are usually used by teachers as models that others should aspire to. These usually end up as officers in school clubs or Honor Societies, most likely valedictorians or student of the month. None of which is earned with skill, but with ass-kissing ad conformity. Keep in mind that these are not the clubs, honor societies, or valedictorians that you guys here grew up with. Now the clubs,societies, and such, groom the youth into being the new masters of the elitist technocracy, spreading its values and virtues.
On subgrouping, some people in the youth culture get shit if they do not fit into any mold of the aforementioned subgroups. Those amorphous types are outcast and made fun of. Though the amorphous person may be lauded for being unique (rarely). Many groups also have thier own "beat up an emo" day, which is not standard. Thus, many beatings are given to the emos.
