"The term scene can refer to a specific subculture or movement. Scenes are distinguished from the general culture through fashion; identification with specific (sometimes obscure or experimental) musical genres or political perspectives; and a strong in-group or tribal mentality. The term can also be used to describe specific subsets of a subculture, often geographical, such as the American drum and bass scene or the London goth scene.

Some scenes tend to be volatile, reactive to trends and changes, with some participants acting elitist towards those considered to be less fashionable, or oppositional to the general culture although others do provide mutual support in marginalised groups. In-group behaviour can sometimes elicit external opposition."
