Boy, have I found a place for you! It's totally new and not at all like vampirefreaks.com, which I was totally not a member of or anything when I was 16!
www.scenekids.com!!!
www.hipsterlounge.com!!!
I started paying attention to the presidential debate last night about 20 minutes in, as I was too busy perusing these amazing websites to listen to catfights about foreign policy.
I did not know this, but apparently there is zero difference between "scene kids," "hipsters," and "all 13-year-olds who shop at the Hot Topics." Also, hipsters apparently really like j-rock. Thanks for teaching me something new, internets!
So basically what we have here are multiple sites full of "alt" 12 - 19-year-olds mugging for the camera and chatting online in red-on-black font.
And what's better for the fragile egos of tortured tweens than a site where they can fall in internet love with fellow scenesters? Just click on a few profiles and you'll catch on to the internet-soulmate trend. It's beautiful. Nobody can break their wi-fi love.
And okay, I'll admit. Perhaps I am laughing so derisively because I totally would have joined this site when I was fifteen. My levels of schadenfreude for the kids on these sites are totally in harmony with how hilarious it was when I found my old livejournal account.
Peace out, internets. It's been all too real.
