I’m bored and sleepy so I’m gonna do a couple more of these.
get’cha some fingerless gloves, long striped socks, and arm warmers!
come up with your SCENE NAME! Typically, a good scene name is an allusion to a celebrity, a cool word as a last name, or simply an alliteration. The Nu Scene Tumblr Blog has a whole list of great scene names!
look up “how to draw anime” and create a drawing of yourself in an anime style
create some OCs, ponysonas, gemsonas, fursonas, trollsonas, any kind of persona that you want
print out a couple of photos of your favorite bands, singers, guitarists, words of encouragement, or graphics of lyrics you like and slip them into your mirror’s frame (or tape them)
get snakebites! if you can’t get them, find some faux lip rings!
wear some fake vampire fangs for selfies or when hanging out with friends
buy blank shirts or hoodies and customize them with your own designs, such as stars, angel wings, bats, hearts, cats, skeletal bones or whatever strikes your fancy!
make holes in hoodies or long sleeve shirts and decorate them with safety pins! be careful not to poke yourself with them!
wear two belts! one that you wear sideways and another that you let hang just like like this
get a bedazzler and bedazzle… whatever you want! your laptop, phone, jeans, hairbrush, frames of glasses, belts, even your converse if you so choose~ bedazzle some patterns or designs onto stuff
find a messenger bag or purse and cover it with pins, buttons, patches, and accessories! you can carry all kinds of things in there whether it be your journal, makeup, phone, or laptop if it can fit!
get an emo/scene hair cut, either at a hair salon or cut it yourself! only use hair cutting scissors or a hair cutting razor, or a razor comb. only cut your own hair if you’re sure that you know what you’re doing, consider using two mirrors to cut the front and back of your hair. cut diagonally to layer the hair (find videos online for a better explanation). if you have super thick hair, find some thinning shears and look up how to use them as well!
spike the back of your hair! using a comb, you can tease up some of your hair, but with a little but of hair gel you can spike up your hair! and also consider instead of gel, using hair wax, pomade, or even hair glue depending on what works best for you
straighten your hair! use some clips to pull up your hair and flat iron your hair one section at a time while using heat protectant spray. if this isn’t give you the results you want, consider and research Japanese Straightening, Brazilian Keratin Treatment, or Brazilian Blowout!
if you have emo/scene hair but don’t want it to get messed up while you sleep, sleep with a beanie on! this is also good for if you just got done straightening it and your hair is still just a little too poofy!
if you’re still having trouble with getting your hair to lay down, rub in just a little bit of either coconut oil or hair food, and be careful not to use too much!
if you can’t dye your hair but still want some cool hair colors, try out temporary hair color spray, hair chalk, or colored hair wax!
get some striped extensions!
making your own kandi bracelets are a right of passage! go to a local craft store and look for some different assortments of beads. Shapes, letter blocks, and pony beads. Also get some elastic cord. these can be great friendship bracelets, spell out some words like “RAWR XD,” “TACOS” or “SCENECORE,” and make some in homage to your favorite bands!
you can also find other things in craft stores to make your own jewelry and accessories. the same beads you used for the kandi braclets and some other things you’ll find can also be used to make necklaces!
basic emo/scene eyeliner and eyeshadow can be found cheap at Dollar Tree or Walmart. when doing your eyeliner, you can smudge it to give it a more emo and edgy look. also try out different colors of eyeshadow such as red (Gerard Way), black (Pete Wentz), or even pink (Wil Francis).
google instrumentals/karaoke versions for songs you like and sing covers of them, recording them on your phone or laptop’s camera. if you want, upload them to YouTube or VidLii!
if you can play an instrument, consider writing and recording your own song on your phone or laptop and upload that as well!
have a copy of Everybody Hurts available at all times and treat that thing like a sarcastic, satirical bible
reread some books from your childhood that you haven’t touched for a long time. some recommendations include Warriors, Artemis Fowl, Deltora Quest, Twilight, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Fablehaven, Ghostgirl, The Spiderwick Chronicles, and House of Night!
read Homestuck! it’s hella!
listen to Welcome To Night Vale! it’s also hella!
read creepypastas on the Creepypasta Wiki! extremely hella! Just don’t stay up too late reading these, or else you might not be able to fall asleep!
download Visual Boy Advance! This is an emulator that allows you to play old Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games on your computer! There are hundreds of games available in ROM form, files that can be loaded up and played directly through the Visual Boy Advance!
search online for your own Sidekick/Danger Hiptop phone (or any similar QWERTY flip or slide phone) and order it (ideally unlocked). be sure to do your research and read everything in the description before buying one
Add on to this list! Us scenecore/teencore/webcore/emocore peeps need your help to expand the list with more ideas!
