Most "subgenres" in rock aren't real subgenres, just words magazines like Rolling Stone use. Like Glam Rock, Garage Rock, Indie Rock and Nu-Metal.
However, the subgenre is a necessary thing, imo, when it comes to punk and metal. Think how different Jimmy Eat World and Agnostic Front are. Emo and Hardcore are very different sounds, but they share a common bond in that structurally they are from the same Punk lineage.
Same for metal. Death metal is definately metal, but such a different sound than more traditional metal bands like Priest.
