Depression has been the name in common parlance for the disorder for over a century, while the 'Emo" subculture is an entirely recent phenomenon.
Technically "Emo" is short for emotional, so that "Emo" person is just an emotional person, not necessarily a depressed person. Those who are depressed suffer from an active and acute mental illness, and an "Emo" person is just, as I said, emotional.
Moreover, depressed people are overwhelmingly adults, with the average age of onset of a first Major Depressive episode occurring in the 30's. Though depression in adolescence is possible, it is relatively rare.
