This Fashion shoot displays so many elements of Scene Kids, from flat peaks to wrist bands to brightly colored trainers, but my most favourite part of this fashion story is the fact they have dressed up this guy in Full circlue, hugo boss, top man, john gallioarno, Rachel Aurubn, Nike, Raf Simons, Judy Blame, Alexander McQueen and yet they don't change his trainers apart form one picture, as they cant top the'Models own' trains witch makes it incredible Scene Kid like, as we all know they know the best cracks to find amazing shoes.

This shoot has exposed the clubbing scene for Scene Kids with the illumines wrist bands, because they are fresh on the scene with music especially they always seem to have gigs bands and festival wrist ties scattered up their arm. Other elements shown are the low, low trousers showing off their underwear and quirky little accessories all taken to the absolute extreme in this shoot by the mozake of key chains hanging form his trousers to the over styled hair, done so bad with so much product it pulls off a great look.

The Waterfront


The waterfront by day

The waterfront by night
This plain looking building is home to a great musical scene in norwich, it is open every weekend and most evening for gigs and club nights, it has a very youthful crowd, and a very alternative scene.










By nigh this place comes alive, striving with youth and drunken antics, its the place to be on a night out in Norwich thanks to its amazing musical lines ups. It has had such performers as La Roux, Bowling for Soup, Pigeon Detectives, Sponge, Hadouken! and so on. 

Waterfront interior



HADOUKEN!
This band came about shortly after Scene Kids did, they merge perfectly with this youthful subculture,   adopting their dress style to their music style, a mix of many genres and opening the door to Dubstep witch most Scene kids strive on now as its new and popular with youth's. This band has evolved and adapted and kept up with the vast changing scene witch is why allot of Scene kids still listen love and follow this band.





The Blackout, Waterfront


The Waterfront always draws a crowd, no matter the night, no matter the price. It keeps itself alive form the youth of the crowd it draws and rewards them with the bands and music they love.

The Forum
The forum, The heart of norwich and the most populated areas of youth based sub cultures, it has a very heavy scene kid bases. Essentially it’s a huge constructed outdoor arena with steps / seats up to the main building, inside you can find a library and coffee shop with some restaurants up stairs.

The Forum steps

STEPS, You cant be a youthful subculture without a good place to loiter and what better than to in the middle of a city or town. It was the same in my town all the greeboes goths and chav's hung out at the town hall steps and its no different at the forum except it is mainly dominated by scene kids, but that not surprising with the mix of shops their offering Scean'isem on a plate to you.



Forum events
The Favourit forum coffe shop
The Fozz as everyone calls it has an array of events is hosts on the weekend such as advertisements and launch seems for dance, circus classes and entertainment, distracting youths from being inside the forum as the staff their do not favor them. Always asking you to leave and "escorting" you off the premiss. It helps rase status if you get kicked out or even "banned" a few times, perfect fro scene kids as they have that front of attitude when they don't want to piss anyone off.
