If they wore any label, The Cure were originally post-punk but soon became Goth…EMO wasn’t even around when they started.
Wiki says this about EMO’s origins:
Emo /ˈiːmoʊ/ is a rock music genre characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics. It emerged as a style of post-hardcore and hardcore punk from the mid-1980s Washington D.C. hardcore punk scene, where it was known as emotional hardcore or emocore and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.
Emo was a legitimate descriptor for certain post-hardcore bands though, whether they liked it or not. Even in the early 90s it was kinda perhaps used as a pisstake and not something you’d call your own band.
Probably when Midwest Emo/Emo Indie became a thing in the mid 90s was it first used by a scene of bands to describe themselves. By the late 90s screamo became more a thing, and it really started morphing into the wimpy mall kid thing post-2000.

Late edit to swoodley post…
Misspelling now corrected.
Goth (the music Genre) existed before EMO…they’re not the same
From wiki again:
Goth is a music-based subculture that began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s. It was developed by fans of Gothic rock, an offshoot of the post-punk music genre. The name Goth was derived directly from the genre. Notable post-punk artists who presaged the Gothic rock genre and helped develop and shape the subculture include: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, the Cure, and Joy Division.
