Do we honestly need to classify though? Many artists overlap a bajillion different genres, if they stuck to one genre only, their music would be awfully boring.

That is what the slash is for,
Example: Children Of Bodom is Power/Death Metal.

Agreed. Just post in the artist's official thread if you feel like you need to classify them. Or better yet, read the artist's thread first for clues.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

No it isn't. Maybe bits of information might be incorrect, but if you're looking for something as simple as genres Wiki is sufficient.

Punk rock
Skate punk
Ska punk
Melodic hardcore

Exactly. I wouldn't get something like statistics from Wikipedia unless they were well-annotated, but something like a description of a musical genre is exactly what the site is great for.
