You can't be three.. Emo has one meaning and Scene has one meaning, none can change the realy definition.. You can't change the meaning of hiphop, you can't change the meaning of pop, you can't change the meaning of emo. You can't be emo because you cut, you can't be emo because you are depressed and you won't be emo because you dress emo. What makes you EMO scene is both the fashion and the music you listen to, sorry but it's like that. a pop dude won't be scene because he listens to emo.. He will just be him, because the fashion completes the meaning of our label.
Which is the second part of your answer.
Many people with depression and problems are drawn to emo music and screamo as well... It makes them be even more emotional and that's why they start calling themselves emo or be labeled emo... They find solace in this fake dark world of emo that posers built during the last two years.

Scene doesn't want fake cutters in this society, doesn't want posers. If scene girls are called bitches and emo boys are called fags, then blame the posers... They are the cause why even more teens started to cut to fit into an emo group in their middle or highschool, Emo posers are the reason why Scene kids are misdjudged 24/7. They raped the music, they raped the fashion and they raped the meaning of Emo scene.
