That's the thing, I don't think Carrie is as much of a "hardcore punk rock chick" as she says she is. She just wants to be seen that way but in reality she is a very emotional girl with a passion for ponies (as evidenced in The Pony) and likes the feeling of joy rather than pain. Darwin, who is pretty happy all the time, is apparently someone who makes her feel alive and happy. I think her "emo personality" is rather just denial (her dream in The Dream about being surrounded by happiness and colours can be interpreted as denial) because she most likely just wants to retain some sort of individuality. In other words, Carrie does have a lot more in common with Darwin than it appears, I think she's just more comfortable with expressing it around Darwin (because he understands her) and Gumball (because he's a friend whom she can trust).
