According to my experience, genre emerges from story. The bad news is that many attempts to follow genre are ending as total failure to write a viable story.

For instance, sir Golding's "Lord of Flies" can be considered as soft sci-fi, post apocalyptic fiction, psychological thriller or (as officially stated) allegory. However, his "Spire", "Pincher Martin" or "The Inheritors" do are not suitable for most of genres mentioned above.

Homer's Illias and Odyssey can be considerd as historical fiction or even fantasy genres.
