At The Disco, Fall Out Boy etc.), and wear the same generic clothes (skinny jeans, incredibly ugly scarves, tight fitting band tee and new rox [this is just the blokes]) - there's no individuality there whatsoever.
* - term used extremely loosely.

Your confused pal, Fall Out Boy are barely emo, same with Panic. They are just the pop bands that the clueless have associated with emo. Real emo tends to be harsher, try listening to My Heart Bleeds No More by Silverstein - that is an emo song.
Also the clothes sound as much indie as emo.
As to the whole labelling and grouping thing I could never be arsed with it, I listen to what I like whether it be hard rock/metal/punk/emo/indie and the same with the way I dress - though to be fair it's always loose jeans rather than the helium-substitutes.
