That's right. This map begins as a scatter-plot, not a force-network, so particularly in the middle of the map individual pairwise distances in these two dimensions can be perfect or misleading. The readability adjustments to keep the names from landing on top of each other also distort the data in a technical sense.
But if you go into a genre's own page and scroll down, there is a little inset map of that genre's immediate neighborhood. That view is restricted to the most similar genres according to ALL the dimensions, so breakcore's neighborhood, for example (http://everynoise.com/engenremap-breakcore.html http://everynoise.com/engenremap-breakcore.html) doesn't include "boy band" at all.

"deep filthstep?" http://everynoise.com/engenremap-enka.html http://everynoise.com/engenremap-enka.html edit: Oh, I'm probably looking at it backwards and those are the least similar genres. "Classic Chinese pop" and various folk musics are less surprising.
