You're on the right track, citing emo and 'ghetto' styles originated from boundries that are often misconcieved to be subcultures; when really, the only true word to describe such things are as 'fads'. Now, I don't wanna get into the whole 'gangsta-poseur' method because it just doesn't appeal to me, but I will say that both of these non essential "labels" have origins that are not that of a subcultures. A genre perhaps, but definetly not a subculture.
