Black Emo Kid 

A African American, or American, who like the emo culture. I am one myself. They are very rare, and are always accused of being an "oreo" by other ghetto black kids. Usually hangs out with other "emo" kids, most likely, but not always white. Doesn't care for rap, or hip hop. Feels secure when with other people who understand the problems of the world, and are true about it. Doesn't understand why race is such a big deal in the world.

Michael-emo 

"Michael-emo" is a term, used to describe a feeling, event, person or object which is so dark, depressing, moody and/or negative that the term "emo" wouldn't justify to the seriousness of the feeling, event, person or object.

One may therefore conclude that "Michael-emo" is of a higher level of "emo-terms" and thus stands above the regular term "emo".

As of today, it is still debated whether "Michael-emo" is a sub-culture among teens or a term of explanation.

For it is still widely associated with a person's style of clothing & hair additionally to their musical preferences.
There is no heart, only sadness...

Sorry had to get that off my chest, perfect set-up for something so emo it's almost michael-emo.

Holy Emo Trinity Church 

Fans of the Emo Trinity and Emo Quartet, or My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, and Twenty One Pilots, will often call themselves members of the Holy Emo Trinity Church. They worship Brendon Urie and Gerard Way as the gods Beesus and Geesus. The religion’s holy texts are Wattpad fan fictions, especially the Milk Fic. Cheez Whiz baptisms are often preformed. This all started due to Gerard Way famously singing in the song *G-NOTE WARNING* Welcome to the Black Parade that he would be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned, much like Geesus.
Mia: Members of the Holy Emo Trinity Church are weird...
Leon: HOW DARE YOU! GEESUS BURN THIS WOMAN ALIVEEEEE.
Mia: *sprints*

Black Emo 

Someone who is black and into actual emo music and it's sub-genres (emotive hardcore, hardcore punk, skramz and maybe indie or alternative like Sunny Day Real Estate and The Promise Ring). These people most likely know what they're talking about and won't label themselves "emo" because it's just a genre of music (and an insult when the term originally came about).

Most people think "emos" or what is actually emo pop punk (people who listen to emo pop punk / alternative rock / pop punk bands) like early My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco are all privileged white kids and that seems to be the case, but you can have different races being apart of the subculture / sub-genre as well. It's just more popular in Western countries because that's where the genres originated.
Person 1: Look at her!

Person 2: Yeah, she's a black emo. They're rare, but they're out there.

Person 1: I wonder if she likes Dag Nasty.

Person 2: Probably not, probably one of those pop punk kids opposed to someone who likes emotive hardcore.
