you state a bands name and its gene, and we'll see if people agree with what you say. for instance
my chemical romance = eMO/pop
green day = eMO/punk
Rage Against the Machine = HardRock/Rock
Cypress Hill = hip hop/Stoner Rock

Don't get caught up in the Genre game it's pointless. You must realize that at one time there were very few genre lines of distinction drawn. There was Country, jazz, blues(R&B), Rock, Classical maybe one or two more. Then came the POP genre. Don't be mistaken by the POP genre all it stood for was Popular. The popular music of the day, that's it!!!! So Pop Music includes all genre's of music. If you are listing to the radio and hear them cranking out tunes from todays top forty list and hear Green Day song follow buy a Emnem song followed buy a Jewel song they would all fall under POP music as they are the popular songs of the day. I think people and critics started to facture genres of music as a way to make themselves feel intellagent. We started with Rock music ,which we got along just fine with, and then like everything now a days we had to give it labels. We went from Rock music to Southern rock, Heavy rock, Pop rock, Goth rock, Hard rock, Glam rock, Punk rock, Grunge,Classic rock to Metal, Heavy metal,Speed metal, Thrase metal, Death metal. Give me a break PLEASE!!!!!! There is not one of theses sub catagories that would not fall under the term Rock.
Because Rock and Roll is just that it's ROCK AND ROLL.

It pisses me off to know how a whole bunch of bands get labeled 'emo' for no reason at all.Well,the casual music listeners don't bother about being right about genre.Why would they?
However,the ones who are totally into music will obviously know more about what bands belong to which genre.Hence the friction,I'd say.
Most modern rock bands draw influences from many different types of bands/artists...hence it becoming increasingly hard to label a band to a single genre than say,the 70s and 80s.

The line seperating genres has gotten blurred.For instance some rock songs or bands e.g.McFly are called pop bands while pop bands like Keane are classified as rock.Also RnB artists also tend to be classified as hip hop and vice versa whils some RnB is termed pop.It's a pretty subjective thing.

Putting a band in a genre is daft anyway, it's all just music (except for rap / hip hop). Good music is good music no matter how you you try to classify it.

Just about every song is a crossover category now. So country and pop, rap and alternative, etc. are becoming more categories then actual Genres.

It's genre... I think you're pretty much right. I like Green Day they're not emo (well not really)

Genre is subjective. One person's emo is another person's punk. I would describe RATM as hard rock/funk rock. You could describe SOAD as hardcore armenian folk rock, hard rock, metal - hundreds of things.
