Emo people are known for being "emotional". That's where the word comes from. The guys wear really tight pants and girls and guys wear a lot of black. Their hair usually covers their eyes and they wear a lot of eye liner. Scene people are different. They have awesome hair. Tons of color, different styles and they dress very unique. Most cut their own hair, style their own clothing and such.

According to www.urbandictionary.com/, an emo kid is described as the following :
One who rejects "pop culture" and joins the counter-culture realm. Usually has ideas contrary to popular opinion and seeks to gain a better understanding of life through artistic venues. May appear depressed, have black or red hair, and dress in a way that is contrary to what is popular. Thrift stores, art, coffee shops, underground music, and poetry are usually of great interest. Contrary to popular opinion, though an emo kid may seem depressed, within their own group there is an element of deep understanding and friendship. Emo kids see the world as beautiful, but its inhabitants as lost and depressing.
A very long definition from the same website of a scene kid is as follows :
The word "scene" coves a large spectrum throughout recent history, but its most modern definition is used to describe certian subcultures and movements. The most notoriously famous and targeted is the alternative music scene, or more specifically, branches of the alternative music scene such as hardcore, indie, fashoionxcore, etc. A breed of scenesters (people on the scene) has begun to come to the forefront. These scenesters are usually very music-savvy and loyal to a few specific genres (typically hardcore, metal, indie, retro, 80's new wave, classic rock, etc. to name a few), of which they dress to exemplify. It is hard to pin down a style for a scene male or female, considering the trends amongst them vary from coast to coast, and certian fads come in and out within their ranks. Typically, though, many scene kids will have facial piercings, tattoos, and longer hair. It is not unusual to see teased hair with long bangs on males, or short fauxhawks (a mohawk without the sides shaved, a fashion-friendly version) on females. It is almost a throwback to the revolution of Britian's glam era, very androgynous and fresh. Scenesters take a lot of pride in their overall image, and often they appreciate shock value. Oftentimes they are thrifty, employing their abilities as bargian-hunters and do-it-yourself gurus to do something unique with their style. Large vintage sunglasses, retro patterns, tight jeans, classic metal/band tees, plastic jewelry, and heavy eye makeup are just some of the incorperations into scene style for either sex. This style and showmanship is at its height during shows (concerts), where often scene kids will meet their friends and size up strangers who visit their turf. There indeed is competition among scenesters...sometimes friendly, sometimes not. Shows are in fact not just concerts, but often a means of socialization for those on the scene. Those people who partake in scene lifestyle often choose to date/socialize only with those like them, which can cause bitterness or rejection to outsiders.
The music scene is often associated with other areas that scenesters are interested in, which is liekely, art, photography, creative writing, poetry, tattoos & piercings, civil rights, animal rights, etc. Many scene kids have strong beliefs about these things and consider those who do not to be "posers." They feel that their scene style is not only a fashion statement, but an all-encompassing lifestyle. Many scene kids incorperate their future plans into their lifestyle, going into careers such as journalism, photography, artistry, piercing, tattooing, working for magazines, being musicians, hairstylists, running venues and/or coffee shops, etc. This tends to cause scene kids to congregate, visit, or even move to big cities to find opportunities to meet other scenesters, find jobs that suit them, or to live where they have a plethora of activities that they enjoy readily at their disposal.
Recently internet revolutions like myspace.com have provided a new means for the ideas of scene culture to be spead, for scenesters to find new friends, bands, and activities. Scensters design stylish and graphic profile pages to both draw attention to themselves and to find others like them, and many people have joined up with the scene fad due to internet advertising.
So you see, while similar, scene kids and emo kids are different.
As a general whole, the way they dress is close, but not the same.
Emo kids generally don't wear as tight of pants as scene kids do. Emo kids do not always wear black horn-rimmed glasses; but occasionally may be found with them. Sweaters and vintage tshirts are common, as are messanger bags, converse and studded belts.
A scene kid will almost always be found with super-tight pants [girlpants on boys, skinny leg jeans on girls], a vintage and very small tshirt, perhaps from the thrift store, or from a younger sibling or from years past. Girls enjoy putting bows/clips/headbands in their short hair which is usually cut in a choppy manner with bangs, on guys and girls. Bandanas are a must, and they can be worn on the head, neck, wrist, or in a pocket. Vans slip ons, converse and other flats are classically defined as scene footwear. Your average scene girl will have multi-colored hair, usually a darker color with light blonde and honey colored dyes in choppy sections. [Note : completely different from high- and low-lighting] A scene kid's hair is usually at least two different colors, maybe more. As a general whole, scene kids love dinosaurs, robots, polka-dots, stars, pokemon, and younger child television shows - but not all of the scene kids are like this. Some, but not all scene kids are vegetarians or vegans.
I hope this has helped you some.
I tried to be non-biased and I didn't attack anyone. If you read through most accounts in www.urbandictionary.com/, the descriptions and definitions of a scene or emo kid are very biased and attack the nature and character of the person, which I find highly offensive.
