do people actually care if you refer to modern baseball and the front bottoms as midwest emo?

like i seen multiple people get hated on and flamed the fuck out of for referring to these bands as “midwest emo”(not even trying to be polite about it) and not 4th/5th wave emo, and i wanted to know if its like a non issue thing and its “fine” or do people REALLY care? (this isn’t me trying to be mean im just curious, as someone who doesn’t know shit about sub genres really)
