A lot of times I think certain music gets either what the band wants to be labelled as, or wrongfully labelled. the whole genre idea is completely scewed: I think most genres are drawing on and from other genres. But, if genres must be described, I think that it is a combination of lyrics and style. For example, if I were to describe country vs metal, I would likely say that the difference between the two is that in metal the lyrics tend to be more "raw" and the singers sing a lot louder and often quicker. However in the country genre, music seems to have a certain lyrical content, for the most part, and it tends to be about love/things in the country. The music aspect sounds as though it is mroe closely related to old rock and roll. Both genres you can dance to and you can also sing along to. I think teh way genres are divided are also more of a personal thing; for example, one person may describe good charlotte as hard rock, and someone else may describe it as pop rock. So the majority of the time, I think it's up to the person to divide it into a genre according to their standards.

ps: I like emo and indie. Certain songs I don't, but there are also songs within those genres that I absolutely adore (such as the new song by Fall out boy).
Hope that does less damage than it does help!
