Spock's half-human, but his dad was a Vulcan ambassador and they all lived on Vulcan and his human mam had tried her best to assimilate, and the Vulcan kids picked on him when he was little, so he felt he had to be really into Vulcan culture, including suppressing his emotions. Vulcans actually have quite violent emotions, they just learnt to control them with a bunch of meditation and rituals that Surak came up with years ago. Tuvok in Voyager never finished his training so he's really angry half the time. The original series looks a bit dated now, but it handled it a lot better than the other series that had Vulcans - Journey To Babel shows what Spock's really like and his difficulty with living between two very different cultures, having grown up on Vulcan and now being the only Vulcan among a ship full of humans. When he keeps saying "blah blah I am a vulcan I have no emotions", he's trying to convince himself as much as anyone else.

No idea how Data's emotions are supposed to work though. There's always a mawkish bit in every Data episode where he pauses a little or he does a weird facial expression or makes a decision based on "emotions" and you're meant to think "aww he does have feelings after all" but it never makes sense. And then there's the question of what he's defining as emotions or feelings (he can "feel" all sorts of things, he can detect whether a piece of music is pleasing to his brain and what that one kid's painting was meant to express) and why his "positronic brain" can't replicate them specifically when it can apparently do just about everything else a human brain can do.

edit:


Dax actually called them out on that in that one DS9 episode where they all play baseball against some Vulcans for some reason. They go on about "human emotions" when the DS9 team's celebrating their win and she just says "did I forget to put my spots on today?" and pisses them off even more. I've no idea why any Vulcans other than Spock would say that.

Keep away from Beetlejuice, 
Unless you're tired of living, 
His enemies are mostly dead, 
He's mean and unforgiving, 
Laugh at him and you're undone, 
But in some dreadful fashion, 
Vengeance, he considers fun, 
And plans it with a passion, 
Time will not erase or blot, 
A plot that he has brewing, 
It's when you think that he's forgot, 
He'll conjure your undoing, 
Bolted doors and windows barred, 
Guard dogs prowling in the yard, 
Won't protect you in your bed, 
Nothing will, from Beetlejuice.
