ok, it seems that some of the replys are baised, so i will try to give a straight forward response. Depressed people are those who see the world through fogged lenses, they often feel like it's not worth living, it's hard for them to function normally, they may have suicidal thoughts, life is just hard for them and it hurts (know cause i have been diagnosed).
Now, emo stands for emo-core or emotional core. Emo in this sense is a class of people. They differ from depressed people in that they may wear lot's of black chlothing, wear sorta punk hairstyles, stuff like that. They are known for thier styles and stuff. Emo's are also known to be depressed and thier is a stereotype they all cut themselves. It is mainly just a way people dress (mostly for younger people) and stuff. I should add though, often people think they want attention, but often they seriously do need help, so if you get the chance to talk to an emo and they seem distraught please be sympathetic. i should note, emo music is really just emotional music, it is basically rock or alternative music with more emotional lyrics. It is stereotypically known for break up and suicide songs but that isn't always the case. Often, like the name implies, they just have more emotional music. For ex: bands like mae and brand new are considered emo, but they don't sing anything depressing, they sing uplifting songs that are full of emotion. But there is the darker side of it, so it just depends where you look. Oh gosh, i ran off sorry, hope this gives some insight or whatnot

Emo people make great records. Depressed people usually have some type of a record (police arrest, that is). Ha - Sorry, that's the funniest i can be at this time of night after a long week.

Truly depressed people don't romanticize the condition as some sort of trend or subculture. Most depressed people have better fashion sense and musical tastes as well.

I think maybe it's that depressed people don't know how they feel, they just know something's wrong with them.
Emo people know how they feel they just have no control over it and their emotions take control of them.
Or something. I'm no PH.D
