Accept change

Genuinely I hate all the discourse in this sub and I know I’m basically adding to it so I apologize in advance. I just need to say this one thing then I’ll shut up.

Accept change. Nothing is gonna be “like it used to be”. This is specifically targeted to the older ppl who love to bitch about things not “being like to used to”.

Yes, I understand scenecore is a bit annoying— honestly I don’t have much of a problem with it, the name is stupid but they’re not calling themselves scene, though a few probably are— the “am I scene??” posts are annoying too, that’s more of a mod problem…

But change is gonna happen. It will happen and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Change happens in subcultures, it’s how subcultures grow and thrive. So many subcultures grew from punk, goth grew into different “subsubcultures” (trad goth, romantic goth, pastel goth, etc), scene came from emo, etc

Scene has grown so that it’s more acceptable to have curly hair, or baggier clothes, even “over the top” colors and accessories. I think that’s great! It’s great to make it more accessible to people with sensory issues, or people with hair that can’t be straightened, etc etc

Yes yes I understand there’s a line where it’s just not scene at all. That’s not what this is about.

If you don’t accept change, the subculture will die off ¯_(ツ)_/¯
