just becuase a band screams/sings and plays power chords doesn't make them identical, most of the bands i listen to are emocore and they all sound different, there screamers sound different, there singing is different, sometimes the techniques are different, the way they mix the singing and screaming together is different, the only similarity is that they play emocore music, and they have a hell of a time performing.

i went to a very small venue, where three bands played, they all screamed. these bands aren't popular, the only people that really came to this event was there friends. each of those bands sounded completely different, all though they weren't good, they still sounded different from eachother, one band sucked, they had a decent screamer, but they basically had no riffs, jsut chords, the next band had some sweet riffs, and a decent singer, but they had no bassist, so the 2nd guitar had to take up an interesting role, making them original, and the last band sounded great, there drummer, lead and rythm guitar, and bassist all needed a mic, becuase they all were singing, so that just sounded sweet, also making them original. point is, those 3 bands were just an example of how bands that play emo could be different. There is no way that every single emo band sounds the same.
