If you really want to become scene, make sure it's because YOU want to, and because a lot of others are becoming so and looking like posers. But anyhoo, you can start by clothing. Buy skinny jeans, band shirts, black sneakers or converse shoes. Accessories are as such: Hello Kitty necklaces(very common in scenes), rainbow bracelets, studded belts, bows to put in your hair, and all scenes have straight perfect hair. With multiple exotic colors streaked into it. But of course, do not do all this together at once. Start off slowing working your way into the next thing so your parents don't know what's up.

I think your parents might interpret being scene/emo as a bad thing since behaviors like depression and cutting are associated with the trend. I'd talk with them and clarify that you are only interested in the fashion.
If that's not the case and your parents think scene/emo fashion is distasteful, try to compromise with them...maybe dressing up that way only to school or to the mall, but not during formal/family functions.

Keep buying 1 or 2 things a week and maybe it won't bother your parents. If you went from how you are now to "emo" in a very short time it may freak your parents out.
