The word "skyscraper" is subjective.
As for myself, I think of it this way:
highrise = skyscraper
12 floors or 35 meters.
The structure may be tall but if it's not a "highrise" then it's not a skyscraper.
I also don't like it when we call highrises(skyscrapers) "towers" because it
can be confused with an other type of structure: "(tv)Tower"
I pretty much agrees with the definitions from Emporis and SkyscraperPage.
