They get stuck together since both the popular stereotypes involve guys with long hair and a thing for independent music. But emos wear more eye-shadow and cry more often or something, I guess. The stereotype for "emo" in particular has become ridiculously broad; I've seen people refer to Linkin Park as "emo."

Well linkin park do have some fairly metalcore influenced stuff and stuff in that mood and with those sortof lyrics. So, exception rather then rule really, although I'd argue they are somewhat emo, and emo's did used to like them back in 2001/2002 when people had still actually heard of them.
The emo guy fashion did somewhat come from the indie guy fashion... and uhh indie chicks look nothing like emo chicks so no need for comparison.
Indie aka hipster guys: Fairly long fringes, although never covering the eyes. Black skinny leg jeans although more as in the black denim jeans which are usually less interesting then the one's emo guys wear. Hair often straightened, although not as much as emo guy's hair. Although I guess indie and hipster are slightly different things.
Often wears colours like brown or coldish blues.
 
Emo guys:
Slightly longer fringes, often covering the eyes. Eyeliner isn't so common these days but it's certainly a lot more common with emo guys than any other males. Skinny leg faded to grey black jeans (which I fail at finding a picture of, I've got plenty, and I know tons of guys who wear them and you see them a lot, but google fails me). Hair allmost allways straightened, and with a very big focus on a large amount of texturing and layers in the hair. Hair often spiked up tons at the back, to an extreme this can create the "peacock" hairstyle.
Emo's hardly ever listen to electro or similar (although some scene chicks are into electro, lets just not go there) so I'd place a fairly high bet the OP was talking about indies/hipsters/bohemians.
Wears a lot of black, as well as colours like really warm reds or purples or aqua. Hair is very often dyed black as well, although some guys keep their hair blonde.
(the person on the left of the above is a chick btw)
