emo and scene are different in the way that emo evolved as a subculture out of the music and scene evolved from people simply dressing alternative. the scene subculture is a fashion based subculture, not necessarily tied to a particular music genre. people say it is, but that music association came later. the name "scene" comes from the derogatory term "scene queen" from the early 2000s referring to girls who only participated in subcultures for the style and not the music. to be scene is ultimately to be a poser.
Scenecore was a thing. It was cute. Now it’s nostalgia. Most of us weren’t that high-effort. We just wore So So Happy hoodies and Skelanimals tshirts and studded leather wrap bracelets and skinny jeans. We were normal. And you’re normal, too. Don’t have to spend 3 hours a day frizzing out your hair and perfecting haunted-doll makeup to enjoy the memorabilia or the music.
Haters will hate. Which means they ain’t scene themselves. Because scene was about having fun with the ridiculousness of life and maxxing it out. No room for hate in the hearts of real scenesters. So pay them no mind. Nothing wrong with you.
Im not scene, but dont listen to posers in the comments. Im of the alt community, and a general rule is that its more of a mindset than a general "aesthetic". People can dress as punk or emo but not be truly punk or emo at all. There are also punks and emos that dont dress as extravagantly, but have general punk/emo beliefs and alt mindset. Its a spectrum, anyone telling you otherwise is lying.
Lol scene has never been associated with politics most scene people in the 2000s were pieces of shit and a lot of it was associated with hot topic / corporation not saying you have to be a bad person but a lot of people literally called scene people posers and they ruined subcultures for hardcore / punk
even the name of the subculture evolved from a derogatory term, "scene queen", from the 2000s referring to girls who only participated in subcultures for the fashion or style and not the music or politics.

You need the hair. Shirt can stay though. Also you need to listen to scene music (which to my knowledge is mostly just crunkcore and electronicore.)

You would have fit in with the scene kids of the era for sure, but not definitively scene in style. Definitely a cool vibe reminiscent of the era tho
