Err, I don't know if this is old or new, but it's funny.
Be warned, it's 21 minutes long...

Old, but still funny, and well worth the 21 minutes.

All you really need to be emo is a haircut like Spock(and keep it very greasy), some old man clothes and to whisper something about milkweed and then throw a hissyfit. (download Indian Summer - Reflections on Milkweed and it'll make sense)
Oh, not looking at the audience adds major emo points.
And even emo kids will make fun of you if you sing stuff along the lines of "Boo-hoo! My girlfriend left me and I'm so sad."

Whaa? I thought the staring at the floor was shoegazer.

It is.
Emo bands are sometimes stereotyped for not facing the audience and just jamming out on stage, often they just thrash around during the loud parts, knocking over equipment sometimes. The singers often have their backs to the audience during quiet parts and/or are nowhere near the stagefront.
During the loud parts sometimes they'll be far away from the mic and they'll just start screaming wherever they are, resulting in no one hearing the words.

Ahh, I understand now.
