Kindness and emo usually aren't my thing, but you could always have a garage sale and use the money you make via selling your old crap to buy a totally new wardrobe.

Ok well first off there are two kinds: Goth and Emo. They are both the same style and stuff EXCEPT people who consider themselves Emo are emotionally detached and cut themselves (depressed,sad,feel the world is against them). This is just to let you know before you decide telling/showing everyone your new look, if you don't cut yourself your a Goth, if you do your Emo. Alright second well if your just in it for the style then really your being a poser which is kind of ok but yeah. (to look like one, you must become one is what I think.) Anways for clothing, basic color is black,converses,A LOT of accessories, studded belts,striped clothing (you could wear knee high stripe socks and like a black skirt), and an awesome hairstyle (dyeing hair black or using a combo of colors, and/or having part of your hair covering one eye or both), and using black eye liner and painting your finger nails black is good also. Hmm for accessories you could wear a bunch of those rubber breacelets but dark colors, and/or a stud neck collar or if your like me and you wanna wear anything thats "accessorizeable" go for it, this style is all about making differnt things into one. Like for me I wear chains except my chains are made of those soda can top thingys and thats what amuses people lol and also I cut the sleeves off of my black sweater, made holes for my thumbs and made them into some cool hand gloves (creating your own style works too!). Well I hoped I helped you if you have any more questions feel free to ask me, I'm mysteriousR, and I'll answer them for ya and it won't be any trouble at all cause I'm really Emo myself =P hehe. Well good luck!

I think with the skinny jeans, belts, etc, that's more of an emo/scene style, not like it really matters what you call it though haha, but anyways...If you have a lot of 'preppy clothes' now, you could still keep them, but just change the way you wear them and what you wear with them. Like if you have a polo shirt, pair it with some skinny jeans, converse sneakers, and a lot of accessories [and I mean A LOT, go crazy with them]. Find some long, striped shirts and pair them with colourful, tight hoodies, or a plain black hoodie which is always a classic emo look. Layers are good.
The emo/scene style is usually detailed and involves a lot of different pieces that come together for one look, I'd suggest that you go to a secondhand shop like goodwill or salvation army, and look for items like tight tee shirts with "80s" looks, like bright colours and pop art, and pair those with skinny jeans. You can also look for sweaters that would normally seem 'dorky', but if they fit your shape well, you can make them 'emo' with what you wear with it [skinny jeans, accessories, layers, maybe even get glasses as an accessory].

Then of course there's different emo and scene hairstyles and make up styles, you can find all of those by searching google, facebook, or even myspace.

Hopefully that helps a little bit, just go for what you like.
