In a real world setting, Emo is your modern day Beatnik/punk hybrid infused with a hint of goth. (Peter Murphy goth - not Nitzer Ebb Goth)

The chicks have the more streamline Beatnik, coffee house look with a standard of Converse, striped socks, hip hugger jeans with slight flair, baby doll shirt with some kind of anime or video game logo on it, vintage 80's jelly bracelets, short cropped hair (slightly euro trash), a head band and matching elbow band (elbow band made from the stripes of an 80's tube sock and rounded out with a pair of Elvis Costello glasses.

The guys, based on the "emo" type can range from tall, skinny guys with an almost identical look to the emo girls (because gender is not an issue: Boys can cry: so what is I wear my girlfriends jeans) - To - The skater emo who doesn't have the 100% stereotype emo look. They tend to have the more 90's skater look. Baggy Dickeys, modern punk t-shirt warn over a thermal long sleeve, wallet on a chain, Emerica or Adio shoes

Emo and Goth have a lot of the same traits but, have a HUGE slice between them and are not at all the same.
