If you listen to songs from Linkin Park, Evanescence, Three Days Grace, and Papa Roach, some people kinda lump them as emo due to their cathartic and dramatic lyrics. They associate their songs with emo stereotypes.

They associate their songs with emo stereotypes. Not really. You could say around 2002-2003ish some nu metal songs, have am early 2000s emo quality in some vague regard, papa roach's 2002 album comes to mind, but there were probably a few others if you dig deep enough. Nu metal was mostly gone by time modern mid 2000s emo blew up, which was a bit different than early 2000s stuff. Some people forget this but from 2001 to 2003 or so, sometimes emo to a much lesser extent than the mid 2000s obviously, was sometimes used a derogatory word to ridicule and sometimes inaccurately lump cringey pop punk, mall goth and nerdy indie or post hardcore fans or bands.

They aren't actually, but yes, I remember tons of people calling Linkin Park or Evanescence "emo."

This is a pet peeve of mine. They typically have no knowledge of emo and will lump any angsty rock with vaguely emotional lyrics as "emo".
By that logic, Nirvana, The Cure, Joy Division, and even the Simon and Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence would be emo too.
