Emo & Scene
Mid-2000s MySpace energy — black and hot pink, stripes, stars and bold graphic tees, with all the side-fringe drama that came with it.
What is Emo & Scene?
Emo and scene are youth fashion styles from the mid-2000s. Emo grew from emotional punk and rock music and favors black, band tees, skinny jeans and side-swept fringes. Scene is its brighter, MySpace-era offshoot, adding neon colors, hot pink, stripes, stars, teased hair and lots of accessories.

Emo & Scene FAQ
What is the difference between emo and scene?
Emo is darker and music-driven: black clothing, band tees, skinny jeans and a moody look. Scene grew out of emo around the mid-2000s and is louder and more colorful, with neon and hot pink, animal prints, stripes, teased hair and piles of accessories.
How is emo different from mall goth?
They overlap a lot, since both were bought at the same mall stores. Mall goth leans toward goth imagery like bats, skulls and spiderwebs, while emo is tied to punk and rock music and scene adds bright colors and pop-culture graphics.
How do I wear emo or scene style today?
Pair a black-and-pink or striped graphic tee with black skinny or flared jeans, add a studded belt and checkered or skate shoes, and finish with wristbands or hair clips. One bold graphic plus black basics keeps it current.
