not necessarily. The radio will continuously play the same things over again, but it's a fairly good indication of what the genre sounds like as a whole. There isn't a whole lot of rap out there nowadays that sounds really different from what is on the radio. The same goes for rock, country, metal and pop. The only things apart from the sound of the radio are the niche markets. Anyone who likes something for not being mainstream is dillusional. Just because something is mainstream does not automatically make it worse, and just because something is non-mainstream does not make it better. where I say it's a niche market, I mean that it's not palatable to everyone out there and more often than not is not an indicator of the genre at all.
(the only real oulier would be techno, where so much is made at any given time, and there are so few techno stations that you only really get it thrown in with pop and you don't see everything there is to see)
Lastly, Emo Punk is one of the more commercialized forms of rock, so saying that is just about negating everything you had already said.
