Absolutely unnecessary. We already have it as a category and for something that's so insignificant and irrelevant to the series as a genre, that's all we need. You might argue that listing an artist and a song's year is equally irrelevant and undeserving of their spots in the infobox, but (a) the artists are credited in the game (so it is relevant), and (b) we only have categories by decade and we do not have the specific years elsewhere in the articles. This is pretty much my reasoning, although I wouldn’t have phrased it like this.

Basically I think that most songs have such a variety of genres that listing them in the infobox wouldn’t be practical– and some genre listings are completely subjective. Even getting genres from Wikipedia has it’s drawbacks as their definition of genres may differ from others.
