Cloud does get pretty down about himself in the middle of the game, where Sephiroth and Hojo have him questioning the nature of his own existence, and he has to face the lies he's been telling himself about what happened in Nibelheim five years ago. But yes—before that, he's just surly, and after that, he's perfectly chill.

if it's used to mean emotional then, honestly if you dissassociate oneself from all emotion then you're just a hollow robot with no reason to even exist, so emo is a good thing, no reason to use it as an insult... call me emo and i'll be happy that you acknowledge my humanity...
"Emo" in this context just refers to the maudlin excess of personal melodrama commonly associated with the music and the people who make and listen to it.
