I've met the same individuals at goth, punk or even psy-trance nights for instance.
But anyway, as always the people will vary. There's always going to be shit people in any social circle (look at these forums for example) but a lot of the people I've encountered in what I suppose you're terming is "the scene" have been ridiculously nice.

I think scene is a somewhat ambiguous term and will certainly mean different things to different people. I also think it may be a lot less pronounced in London because it's so much bigger and has so much on offer, for me growing up you'd always tend to have the same people a shows no matter where they were which made it a lot more close knit. When I think of the term "scene" and more specifically the type of people who would use the phrase it usually brings to mind posing 16 year olds in Atticus t-shirts desperately seeking acceptance and usually using the "scene" as a barrier to exclude others, as you say you get shit people everywhere, for me though I found a far larger concentration of them in the punk (Far less so)/emo (Far more so) scene than anywhere else.
