It really comes down to whether the genre feature is inclusive or
exclusive.
It seems to me that making it exclusive (i.e. "omit all songs that
match the unchecked genres") is more useful than inclusive ("include
songs that match any checked genre"). This solves the play me
anything that's not Christmas music problem.
Of course, most people only have one genre per song, so it only
affects those of us with multiple genres per song.

settings)
and then you uncheck/check off whichever you want before hitting
'Play'. A couple of scripted buttons for 'Select All' and 'Unselect
All' and you have a nice interface.
I don't handle them per se. If a track has two genres and you only
exclude one, it will still get included.
This sounds backwards to me. The track should be excluded as soon as
any individual tag matches the exclusion criteria. I.e. a track with
"Rock" and "Explicit" genre tags should not show up in a selection
excluding "Explicit". At the moment it sounds like it would.
