r/scene

I feel so strange trying to be the "professional" everyone wants me to be. Think medical doctoral program type stuff. I'm supposed to tone myself down so much I dont recognize myself half the time. My piercings are "unprofessional", my hair is "unprofessional", my makeup is "unprofessional", genuinely everything I am is what they hate. It's not like my eyeliner is affecting my ability to care for my patients, nor is it an infection / safety risk in this scenario. I would feel differently if I were in surgery or somewhere higher-risk than sitting at a computer all day. Our nurses get much more leeway despite having way more direct patient interaction 💀

I understand that there is a certain image that we have to uphold of ourselves but man... I wish I could feel like a human at work/ class sometimes. This is genuinely so depressing sometimes lol. I didnt't realize my worth would be determined by how I'm percieved rather than the actual knowledge/value I bring to my team going into this.

Does anyone else relate? How do you get through this? black / colored scrubs and a badge reel are about as far as Ive been able to push it.

I’ve been wondering this for awhile cuz I see some people say that scene has always been political but then see other people say it never was and it was mostly just about music and style/hair and how lots of people on MySpace back then were actually the opposite of alt quite often (racist, homophobic, etc) please lmk

Im always nosy about this hehe, my favs def are audrey kitching, hannie drop kick, chelsea lynn, zui su*cide, hanna beth, porcelain panic, barbie beatdown, leda muir, izzi murdur, jac vanek + theres probs more idek hehe
