You can tell emo kids because they never refer to themselves as emo. they're always 'scene' or something like that. They'll try to talk to you about how emo is the incorrect classification of their culture. They whine and moan about the true origins of emo, etc... This is a dead give away for an emo. Other than that they're really the same as gothics, hardcores, punks or whatever misguided angst filled teenagers filled with hate are calling themselves now.
there are no black emos. period.
Me: What it do emo biddie?
Emo Biddie: OMG! R U KIDDING ME?? i am not Emo i am Scene! there is not such thing as emo! your just a puppet of the corporations like mtv that try to define me and my subculture...
Me: Woah! Slow your roll, i didnt ask fo no life story! I Just wants to know the happy haps!
Emo Biddie: I tried to kill myself by holding my breath but it didnt work.

In a nut shell...
Emo (the style) consists of a group of people who are very musically unrefined--like to listen to choppy, cheap, bands that haven't been signed yet. They wear dark, skinny clothes and in general immediately look nonconforming on site.
emo (music) sometimes refers to the music that emos (style) listen to, but not always. Emo music consists of lyrics based off of lost girlfriends and how much one's life sucks. The singing is usually equivalent to semi-acceptable karaoke.
Dude, that kid is so emo it scares me. Emo music is cheap.

Originally an arty outgrowth of hardcore punk, emo became an important force in underground rock by the late '90s, appealing to modern-day punks and indie-rockers alike. Some emo leans toward the progressive side, full of complex guitar work, unorthodox song structures, arty noise, and extreme dynamic shifts; some emo is much closer to punk-pop, though it's a bit more intricate. Emo lyrics are deeply personal, usually either free-associative poetry or intimate confessionals. Though it's far less macho, emo is a direct descendant of hardcore's preoccupations with authenticity and anti-commercialism; it grew out of the conviction that commercially oriented music was too artificial and calculated to express any genuine emotion. Because the emo ideal is authentic, deeply felt emotion that defies rational analysis, the style can be prone to excess in its quest for ever-bigger peaks and releases. But at its best, emo has a sweeping power that manages to be visceral, challenging, and intimate all at once. The groundwork for emo was laid by HΓΌsker DΓΌ's 1984 landmark Zen Arcade, which made it possible for hardcore bands to tackle more personal subject matter and write more tuneful and technically demanding songs. Emo emerged in Washington, D.C. not long after, amidst the remnants of the hardcore scene that had produced Minor Threat and Bad Brains. The term "emo" (sometimes lengthened to "emocore") was initially used to describe hardcore bands who favored expressive vocals over the typical barking rants; the first true emo band was Rites of Spring, followed by ex-Minor Threat singer Ian MacKaye's short-lived Embrace. MacKaye's Dischord label became the center for D.C.'s growing emo scene, releasing work by Rites of Spring, Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, and MacKaye's collaboration with members of Rites of Spring, Fugazi. Fugazi became the definitive early emo band, crossing over to alternative rock listeners and getting press for their uncompromisingly anti-commercial attitudes. Aside from the Dischord stable, most early emo was deeply underground, recorded by extremely short-lived bands and released on vinyl in small quantities by small labels; some vocalists literally wept onstage during song climaxes, earning derision from hardcore purists. Fugazi notwithstanding, emo didn't really break out of obscurity until the mid-'90s emergence of Sunny Day Real Estate, whose early work defined the style in the minds of many. Tempering Fugazi's gnarled guitar webs with Seattle grunge, straight-up prog-rock, and crooned vocals, SDRE launched a thousand imitators who connected with their dramatic melodies and introspective mysticism. Some of this new generation connected equally with the wry, geeky introspection and catchy punk-pop of Weezer's Pinkerton album. While several artists continued to build on Fugazi's innovations (including Quicksand and Drive Like Jehu), most '90s emo bands borrowed from some combination of Fugazi, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Weezer. Groups like the Promise Ring, the Get Up Kids, Braid, Texas Is the Reason, Jimmy Eat World, Joan of Arc, and Jets to Brazil earned substantial followings in the indie-rock world, making emo one of the more popular underground rock styles at the turn of the millennium.

one of the worst things you could possibly be, emos are spoiled crybabies who seek attention. emo "guys" wear converse shoes, tight girl's pants that are too long, a shirt usually with a emo band logo or a shirt with broken hearts or other gay emo shit, they have hair over one of their eyes, and wear make up, or as they call it "guy liner", girls dress pretty much the same way. both emo guys and girls suck, but emo guys are worse, becuase they act like fuckin pussies. emos listen to bands like fallout boy, hawthorne heights, chiddos, my chemical romance, panic at the disco, etc. emos will do ANYTHING to get attention. they lie about having mental diseases such as skitosphrenia, or lie about getting raped, they pretend to be suicidal just for attention, they cut their wrists to fit in and too get attention. for some reason, emos think they are "unique" or "non-conformists" which does not make any sense at all, becuase you see like a million emos that look like clones of eachother, they dress to fit in. there is not much of a difference with emos and preps. emos cut themselves over stupid things, such as their girlfriend who they dated for 2 days broke up with them becuase their a fuckin pussy. some emo kids claim too be goth, which makes them even more of a fuckin poser. others pose in slayer shirts will at the same time wearing girls pants, becuase they think it makes them a metalhead. emos are spoiled ungartful brats, their all rich suburban white kids, who think theyre life is hard. emo is not a way of life, its a fuckin trend, thankfully, in a few years the emo fad will die out, but only with someother gay trend to come. preps think everyone that wears black is emo, so they think goths and metalheads are emo, which is fuckin retared, becuase the ONLY similarity is wearing black. emos also claim to be bisexual, for sttention so you will often see emo boys kaing out in public to get attention. emos also wirte retared poems about cutting themselves, and show it to everyone they know for attention.
and by the way, June 6th is national kill an emo day, mark your calenders
emo kid: my life is so horrible, my girlfriend broke up with me, now im gonna cut my wrists, i hope i die
anti emo kids: shut the fuck up, if your really sucidal, do us all a favor and go kill yourself, and if you think your life is hard, move to africa,
