This song laments the “scene” kids that dominated the hardcore scene in the mid-late 2000’s.
Bolm’s views on this type of thought and the music that it produced are made pretty clear in an interview he did about why Touche Amore will never play the Vans' Warped Tour:
Hearing the words screamo or...
Scene is to be seen
Scene is to be seen
Scene is to be seen
Scene is to be seen
So save your parents money 'cause the parking lot is free
So save your parents money, the parking lot is free
You never belonged here
If you can hear us outside
If you can hear us outside
We hope you fucking die
We hope you fucking die
You’ll always be on the outside
You’ll always be on the outside
Fuck you
Fuck
Fuck
Scene Is to Be Seen was written by Jeremy Bolm.
