Scenester is a noun that refers to a person associated with a particular social scene.
Scene, the root word of scenester comes from the Greek word skene (SKI nee) which means ‘tent’ or ‘stage’. It’s often used as a slang term to refer to a given social setting. A person frequently spotted in a particular ‘scene’ can be called a scenester. Here’s an example.
Watching my favorite bands over the years, I couldn’t help but notice a particular guy in a leather jacket who always seemed to be around. At first I assumed he was part of management or something. He turned out to be just another scenester trying to steal the glory from others on the scene.
