Pretentious scenesters make me laugh and cringe

If you've never taken a look at my little sidebar called "Please Pay Attention", I recommend you do so. It's just a little collection of webistes I like, but I'm currently going to be talking about one website in particular: Your Scene Sucks.

Basically this site takes a bunch of different scenes (emo, screamo, myspace whore, etc.) and pokes fun at them. It's quite entertaining and does a good job of encompassing just about every stereotype there is associated with certain scenes. There are many scenes represented on the site, but it is in no way completely representitive of all the scenes. For instance, a punk or metal scenester are missing, but Rob Dobi, the creator, says more are in the works. The site is pretty much just an amusing website that hopefully will give you a little chuckle. An especailly funny part of the website is the "Mailbag" section where you can read hate mail Rob has recived. It's mostly digruntled emo kids defending their scene. Good times.

Speaking of Rob Dobi, before he made this jolly website, he had a hip little t-shirt company called Full Bleed. You can now check out his fifth season here: http://www.dobi.nu/fullbleed/. He's done so well that Urban Outfitters decided to buy some of his designs and I've seen more people then just a bunch of hipsters wearing them. All his shirts are printed on high quality American Apparel t-shirts. I myself own quite a few of them and I recomend checking them out.
