Vandalism by Static N

Some of their edits are useful, like the music, but most of the changes are total rubbish because they don't take into account variations and similar subcultures in other countries. This person is either a clueless 40 year old who thinks "scene kids" (the subculture, originally a derogatory word for a poser) and "the scene" (punk/goth/alternative nightlife) are the same thing (they are not), or someone who was a kid in the late 2000s and wasn't around in the subculture's early days. Scene kids have existed here in London since the late 90s, and most of them started out as chavs getting into alternative music. In the early 2000s they wore a lot of black and red, had spiky hair, and listened to American pop punk and nu metal. By 2003, they were into indie rock, emo and mainstream pop music. They still wore a lot of black, white and red, but at this time their hair was more androgynous, they incorporated the designer sportswear associated with hip hop fashion, and they had the occasional brightly colored accessory. From 2005 onwards they started incorporating Japanese influences, and 80s cartoons. Many were already wearing brightly colored graphic Tees and hoodies to avoid confusion with the emos. The paragraph about the subculture's decline "in the late 2010s the subculture declined" is obviously the work of a troll because it doesn't explain why it declined, or where. In the UK most scene kids became hipsters during the early 2010s, but their Brazilian counterparts remained common well into the middle of the decade. 82.9.224.228 (talk) 15:19, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Give me reliable sources for everything you said. You cannot use yourself as a source (see WP:OR). I couldn't find sources for your info and before I changed the article, the article's sources didn't mention anything about what was on the article or what you said. I'm not a troll. I've been editing Wikipedia for a while now. I looked up scene kid on Google and used the custom date range of 1/1/1998 to 1/1/2004 and found nothing about scene kids.

That's because we weren't expecting anyone to write an analysis about us way back in 2010. Search google for scene kid, and there are few reliable or relevant sources, only pretentious articles written by clueless 40 years olds who were never involved in the subculture. Scene kids also went by other names like chavmos, trendies, shamate, or coloridos, but few articles about them exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.224.228 (talk) 13:09, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Show me evidence. Statik N (talk) 02:02, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

I support the removal of the excessive poorly sourced or unsourced material added by IP 82.9.224.228. A violation of WP:NOR should not be kept in the article. Binksternet (talk) 04:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

The whole section on similar Latin American subcultures was full of reliable sources, troll. But you removed them without an explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.224.228 (talk) 00:01, 17 October 2018

Dear IP editor, 82.9.224.228, as per your comment above, there may exist possible conflict of interest. It will be good if you read up the relevant guidelines and follow them if applicable. Thanks --Xaiver0510 (talk) 02:29, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Lock this page!

The edits to this article are jumbled, make little sense, and seem to contradict each other. Can one of the admins lock this page to stop unregistered users from editing it? 53zodiac (talk) 00:18, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
