when i was a little younger newer kind of post-hardcore bands such as from first to last, scary kids scaring kids, senses fail, our last night, silverstein and so on to me i think influenced this emo/scene style. literally i think scene was more of a motto to be an "individual" but then again it seems as if when 2006 went out the door people started switching over to the scene, and i know the emo/scene style was also influenced by indie and what not,still though..... i mean i look back at even earlier hardcore influences and some of these indie hardcore groups and from head to toe have a look similiar to the style today and their music has a relation with some of todays hardcore music. I just noticed from information that maybe it's origins came from the hxc style or not? anyones opinion or knowledge is good
