Before I say this, I'm not defending "emos", BUT Peter in the comics is secretly a depressing character, probably especially as a teenager. And you would be depressed too if your parents, Uncle, and girlfriend died. And two of them being your fault. Besides, from what I heard, Marc Webb said they'll be giving Spider-Man his humor back anyway, and that's what's most appealing about Peter's character that in the face of hardship he makes jokes behind his mask. And even if he doesn't make jokes with the mask off he doesn't emote depression onto anyone else while trying to be what he is, a good, kind, guy. He does the "emo" stuff on his own time,. Which I think sets him apart from most teenagers and keeps him away from the "no one understands me" area.
