This group (notice I didn't use the word 'individuals') is mostly characterized by kids from middle school to high school age. Emo kids are very rarely adults because if your still enough of a pussy to be emo when you're 20, you actually kill yourself when you start to realize that you had no idea what depression(or 'the deep black emptiness thats raping my withered soul' for translation purposes) really is.
The second largest characterization is by their dress-code, taste in media (notice I didn't say art. See porn if you want art) and writing poetry with all the same literary devices and genre. The music is usually made by someone who has managed to get rich off of being the most pathetic people the fad has to offer(raise a glass if you see them). They seem to think that dressing exactly the same(black everything so don't bother with your high beams) is also a sign of individuality (See individuality). Their clothes are all purchased, or scavenged, from patronizing all the same places: garbage bins, wal-mart lost and found, thrift stores, Hot Topic, and gratuitously burglarizing the storage buildings of pop stars from the 80's.
Finally, the third largest characterization is the insistence on being known as an individual whilst being part of the largest fad in recent history. Most of these children would say that they are individuals because they do what they want when they want. The fault in this logic is that everyone in America does the exact same thing. I highly doubt most of America's youth is still being dressed by their parents and are deprived of choice. They get uppity about getting called goth as well (if you ripped off the culture of an entire group of people that are just as stupid just because you where to scared to be as hardcore as they were, would you want somebody bringing that up all the time?). In effect, all anybody manages to do being an 'emo kid' is to subject yourself to ridicule, dress like a moron, and most likely end up with a head full of regret later on in life about how stupid you were to make out with a member of the same sex just to be seen as 'cool'.
They usually are found to frequent malls(a pop-culture hub oddly enough), MySpace and/or Face Book. Their pictures are from a 45 degree angle above their face. (See money shot)

Get the Indie Kid mug.Scene is what Emo Kids call themselves in an attempt to seperate from the emo label (which is considered ridicule). They will try to distinguish themselves from "emo" by claiming not to be depressed, among other things, and by exaggerating standard emo style (for example: adding raccoon stripes to the default emo haircut). Indeed, however, their style comes from the emo "scene" which is ironically the same "scene" they derive their name from and, more ironic still, the same "scene" they continue to hang out at. The "scene" consists of emotive hardcore music aka emo music, however they will also dismiss this by simply calling it hardcore (or hxc) music. Emo culture also heavily influences pop culture. Bands like Fallout Boy and My Chemical Romance are but some bands adopting both emo/scene fashion and music style. Scene kids will often call these bands "pop punk" (or some other made up genre) in an attempt to deny their significance in emo/scene culture. Emo/Scene culture reaches even children in elementary school since its integration into pop culture. These are just a few of the reasons why "scene" kids want to seemingly distinguish themselves so badly.
Use of the word "scene" as a label is a collective effort by all emo/scene kids to keep the fashion style they love, yet to seperate it from the emo label they hate. Both the "emo" label (as well as the attempt to suppress it) and the "scene" label acquired their popularity entirely through such social networking websites as Myspace.
Standard "Scene" aka Emo fashion includes: hair in the face (usually over one eye), choppy hairstyles, two lip piercings (called snakebites), heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow, hairclips for the girls, oversized sunglasses for the girls, flats (a type of shoe) for the girls, hair extensions for the girls, tunics worn over jeans for the girls, girl pants for the guys, and shirts way too small (for the guys).
Varying Scene/Emo fashion includes: Vans slip-on shoes, bright or neon colors, bandanas worn as scarfs, flanel shirts, tattooes on the chest and lower abdominals, polkadots for the girls, long necklaces for the girls, hairbows for the girls, pajama hoodies for the guys.
Other trends part of the Scene/Emo Fashion: gender bending, alcoholism, atheism, bisexuality, rebellion against parental figures, pictures taken at odd angles, pictures photoshopped to be so bright so as to show no facial features, pictures with a fist pointed at the camera, pictures with writing on the hand or body, pictures with puckered up lips or a one-sided smirk, putting question marks where they don't belong (in writing), using the word much inappropriately (example: sad much? or, fat much?), and creating two-word dark-themed aliases beginning with the same letter such as "Ashley Autopsy" or "Michelle Massacre" or "Mandy Murder."

Get the scene kid mug.Right so, an indie kid is someone who listens to..indie music O.o individual sounding, thus the "indie". Like Mindless Self Indulgence. Oh they cry too apparently... and how would they know?
Indie kids are actually generally happy becuase most indie music is happy too. Makes sense doesn't it? You CAN listen to indie and emo and not be indie or emo you idiots. I listen to indie and emo, and I'm not indie or emo. I don't cry much, I'm not depressed and I don't moan about how my life is so confusing.
So that's your idea out the fucking window.
If people are too sad they're emo. If they're too happy they're indie. If they're inbetween they're just boring.
For God's sake just grow up. People ae who they are. That's it.
