I'm not calling MCR 'emo' (fucking label...), so please, please, please don't hold that against me. I love MCR and I will love them to my grave, even when they've retired, but they do have a smidge of Emocore in one or two their songs, like Cancer - a lot of piano.......
I would never, ever say that they are emo, or play Emocore music, so I'd say Alternative for most of them, because that genre covers a wide range of song moods.

Rock, with a dash of punk, but it changes with each album really. Or 'violent, dangerous pop', as I believe Gerard said sometime. Easiest way to classify it is just Alternative Rock, I guess.

i usually refer to them as Rock, or Alternative Rock, even though it varies with each album. but i think each album of theirs fits into that genre of music in a way.

it differs from each album, i think
Bullets sounds post-hardcore
Revenge sounds like punk(the instruments) and maybe alternate rock?
Parade sounds alternate rock to me.
"emo" might not suit them. there isn't any true emo bands these days

^ Agreed. Nail on the head right there.
Except I think Black Parade is more on the glam rock side OF alternative.
I do wonder what category the new album'll be...

As for my own opinion, in general, I think they're Morrisey-meets-the-Misfits. Like Mikey says, haha. So I don't think they're punk, for punk had been dead quite some time and don't even try and tell me it's not, nor emo because of the band's emo-bashing, SO. I like the term 'Violent Pop' for them. xD

Bullets: Rock/Post-Hardcore

I think they are alternative rock, post- hardcore, and pop punk, and maybe a little bit of regular rock
