	UNODC - Bulletin on Narcotics - 1985 Issue 2 - 017
		For example, the fragmentation of the drug scene in Zürich in 1983 was followed by a spectacular increase in the number of deaths by overdose; it is likely that this increase in drug-related deaths was due in part to the disappearance of habits of drug consumption practised within the drug scene.
		The integration of the young addict into the drug scene is not voluntary in the real sense of the word, for he is caught between the culture that he rejects and the pseudo-culture of the drug scene.
		The fragmentation of the drug scene is followed by an increase in multiple drug abuse, which often aggravates the medical and social problems of drug addicts.

	Racingmix Word - What's the Story Behind all those Asians in the Import Scene?
		The influence of Japan upon the Import scene is a huge component of the construction of this subculture.
		This is in direct opposition to myth of Asians as the "model minority." David's conscious decision to create an Import racing crew and partake as a member of the Import scene is a radical break from dominant characteristics that are attached to Asian American youth identity.
		The history of the Import scene is not one uniform story, yet most concede that its genesis is in Los Angeles.

	Vampire Youth Subculture in New York City. 2nd World Dracula Congress, Poiana Brasov, May 2000<
		Youth subcultures buffer the need for living in a trusting and loving group, and the NYC vampire/vampyre scene is one of the most elaborate examples of how genetic bonds are substituted by interracial, cultural bonds.
		During a screening of youth subcultures in the Western World in the context of criminalistic and medico-legal investigations (1,2), we researched the vampire youth subculture in Manhattan during the years from 1997 to 2000.
		The scene prefers to use the spelling vampyre instead of vampire to stress that their lifestyle is a vivid and modern form of vampirism compared to a scholarly approach to the topic.

	The Hacker Demo Scene And It's Cultural Artifacts by George Borzyskowski - Vince Scheib
		The scene is an aspect of a wider information technology related cultural environment which has it's origins with the beginnings of the automation of national and international telecommunications, and is characterised by an impetus among its adherents towards the discovery and exploitation of features available within the technological environment which are not publicly documented.
		Scene diskzine publications such as Eurochart, differentiate in their voting between single part demos which load the complete program into RAM prior to playback, and multi-load demos which continue to load segments during the demo presentation which can last for more than half an hour of continually changing program content.
		The demo as a means of posturing for status within a social structure in terms of stratification within the subculture is also worthy of noting as a factor in the motivation of individual and group effort.

	OPTIMISM AND REALITY IN DISADVANTAGED SCHOOLS
		This subculture is ignorant of current events (except football, pop scene, drug scene etc.), politics or history (famous Australians are Tom Cruise and Albert Einstein).
		Geoff Spring's subculture is to promulgate policies, targets (literacy etc.), curriculum documents and statistics that make it clear that it is the teacher's responsibility to add value to each student in their care.
		It is not unusual for this subculture to gain a significant presence in the classroom of the Disadvantaged School.

	Untitled Document
		The Goth subculture frequently revolves around a music scene, which likely arises from the current subculture's roots as a spin-off of punk.
		The Shoegazer scene was perhaps the most prominent and lamentably short-lived of these, it's resplendent voices and infinitely resounding guitar blitzes having long ago fallen silent, forgotten by all but a few...
		Also symptomatic of the media backlash was the needlessly sarcastic "scene that celebrates itself" tag, given due to the willingness of some of these acts to frequent each other's gigs.

	FAQ
		The 1990's goth subculture in the UK is more to do with style, attitude and the social scene- the style is black, the attitude is dark and the social scene is buzzing.
		Goths are rarely racist and are often concerned at the lack of multiethnicity within the culture.
		Goth is not a religious, political, racial, sexual nor occult movement, and there are goths of all faiths, races, beliefs and orientations.

	Subculture
		The gothic subculture is comprised of goths, many of whom, but not all, participate in the scene.
		In some ways, a subculture must be like any other culture: It must have an identifiable style of dress, music, art, values, etc. When a subculture is also a counter-culture, what it rejects in the super-culture is what defines it.
		Gothic subculture is counter-culture to some, and simply subculture to others.

	Demoscene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A form of static computer graphics where demosceners have traditionally excelled is pixel art; see artscene for more information on the related subculture.

	The Gay Scene, Normality and Fashion
		The gay scene is a loosely defined term that includes the gay subculture, popular pubs, clubs and social cliques therein and the subtleties and particular traits that separate it from mundane lifestyles.
		There is a certain rebellious element in the gay scene because in order to come out one must be able to face others and express yourself despite what they may think.
		As a result, nearly all the Satanists I know of (and goths, punks and other alternatives) who are also gay are not part of the gay scene and rarely mix with the pubs, clubs and events organized by the popular homosexual communities.

	Import scene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Import scene or Import racing scene refers to the subculture that revolves around modifying imported brand cars (commonly referred to as imports), especially those of Japanese brands, for street racing in the United States.
		This scene was originally frequently associated with Asian American youth, however, thanks to movies like "The Fast and the Furious", it has become a mainstream phenomenon among youth of all races in the United States.

	Demoscene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The demoscene is a computer subculture that came to prominence during the rise of the 16 bit micros (the Atari ST and the Amiga), but demos first appeared during the 8-bit era on computers such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum.
		Although demos are still a more or less obscure form of art even in the traditionally active demoscene countries, the scene has had an impact on areas such as computer games industry and new media art.
		Sometimes demos even provide direct influence even to game developers that have no demoscene affiliation: for instance, Will Wright names demoscene as a major influence on the new Maxis game Spore, which is largely based on procedural content generation and is being programmed by many demoscene veterans.

	YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> Goth
		Goth is a modern subculture that first became popular during the early 1980s within the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of post-punk.
		The subculture is marked by its emphasis on individualism, tolerance for (sexual) diversity, a strong emphasis on creativity, a dislike of social conservatism and a strong tendency towards cynicism, but even these ideas are not common to all goths.
		He suggests that the self-conscious artificiality of a subculture is a valid alternative choice in a post-modern world, compared to submitting to the invisible manipulations of popular consumerism and the mass media.

	Lycaeum > Leda > Ecstasy in the UK: Recreational Drug Use and Cultural Change
		Second, the dominant drug used on this scene, MDMA or Ecstasy, was a relatively new substance that most drugs workers had little knowledge of or experience of dealing with.
		Although the drug eventually made the transition from the therapists office and onto the street, the way it was used in the USA, and the groups that were using it, were very different to this new pattern of use that was emerging in the UK.
		This reported on the use of the drug by a small group of people working in the media, pop music and fashion industries, who were flying to the United States and importing small amounts of the drug for their personal consumption.

	Old and New
		The leather scene is carefully coded and ritualized, with coloured handkerchiefs (in either one's right or left pocket) signifying various preferences, such as fister (red), rimmer (beige), shrimper (coral) or scatologist (brown).
		Being a subculture within a subculture, like a breakaway religious sect, means being ignored and orphaned by everyone.
		Northbound has been combining leather with pleather for a number of years as a way of reducing costs on items like corset gowns, along with adding spandex to some piecess to provide both economy and elasticity for freedom of movement and breathability.

	High Fashion Crime Scene: That Scene.
		I guess the biggest difference is that back then the scene really was a subculture, not a trend fit with MuchMusic and a fashion code that is so cliche it makes even Goth kids look authentic.
		This is not like these "scene" kids, who feel like they have to conform to a cookie-cutter representation of "emo" or "punk" or whatever the fuck they erroneously consider themselves..
		Nothing makes me more sick than to think that half of these kids were probably listening to candy shop by 50 cent about 6 months ago and probably really getting into it.

	Unusual rave - Evan'z Great Spirit Tribe Cyber Ythmvmnt - tribe.net
		To survive in the rave subculture, possessing both the artifacts (nonverbal communication) and lexicon (verbal communication) are imperative.
		Although my chosen subculture was not typically examined by academia, I conducted an academic ethnography of what Maton (1993) describes as a "group whose world views, values and practices diverge from mainstream North American and social science cultures" (747).
		The American rave subculture is an alternative, underground nightclub movement promoting techno music, synthetic drugs, and teen angst: the discos of the 1990s.

	eGoth.com - The Gothic Resource Website
		Goth is a modern subculture that gained visibility during the early 1980s within the gothic rock scene, a sub-genre of post punk, and continues to this day.
		Such references in both their music and image were originally tongue-in-cheek, but as time went on, bands and members of the subculture took the connection more seriously.
		As a result, morbid, supernatural, and occult themes became a more noticeably serious element in the subculture.

	DarkEcho Interview/Article: Patrick Rodgers & Dancing Ferret (2000)
		"The vampire subculture is a little harder to pin down, but the overwhelming response to our Dracula's Ball events demonstrates that the vamp scene is thriving, as well.
		While a fair number of the vampire folks are into the goth subculture, many of them aren't.
		"The two are different, although they do intersect a lot, and there's the industrial subculture as well, which is a thing unto itself.

	The Hacker Demo Scene And It's Cultural Artifacts by George Borzyskowski - Vince Scheib
		It is a subculture which effectively exists on anarchistic principles, inasmuch as it survives on the basis of liberty and co-operation in the absence of coercive or cohesive structural influence.
		It was and is a subculture whose transactions are created and delivered through the computer screen, though in it's formative years the transmission and exchange of the data was by means of floppy disk passed on by hand or through the international postal service.
		The scene is an aspect of a wider information technology related cultural environment which has it's origins with the beginnings of the automation of national and international telecommunications, and is characterised by an impetus among its adherents towards the discovery and exploitation of features available within the technological environment which are not publicly documented.

	A Contemporary History of Ibogaine in the United States and Europe
		One such context is the medical subculture of the informal ibogaine treatment scene, and the other is the political subculture of advocacy for the development and availability of ibogaine.
		Perhaps more importantly however, the medical subculture of ibogaine did yield human experience that influenced the decision to pursue the significant body of preclinical work that was NIDA's ibogaine project.
		Some common ground existed with drug policy reformers who generally favored the development of treatment instead of incarceration and the drug war and because the scheduling of ibogaine and its stigmatization as a "psychedelic" arguably impeded ibogaine's development.

	Satanic Bible (Lewis) - CESNUR 2002
		One observation of particular note was that the social organization (or, perhaps more appropriately, disorganization) of modern Satanism could not accurately be characterized as a "movement," "community" or "subculture." I have nevertheless used these throughout the paper for lack of more adequate terminology.
		Belief in ritual abuse nevertheless persisted among certain segments of the conservative Christian subculture, including among some policemen.
		A juvenile probation officer at the Robin Hood Hills crime scene hypothesized that the boys had been murdered in a Satanic ritual.
