You can't be an emo kid, because you can't be a genre of music.
Emo = Emotional Hardcore.
The whole "emo" fashion thing is just a general misconception thrown around the media as a sort of brand recognition for the new wave of popcore/pop-rock bands that scream a little bit. The true emo bands have done a good job avoiding this whole scene emergence by staying underground and true to the guidelines that defined emo back when bands like Embrace, Rites of Spring, and Fugazi were creating the genre. This whole fashionxcore scene is just a bunch of untalented bands that are feeding off of kids emotions for a profit.
