Genuine leather just means something is actual leather and not faux-leather, it's not some sort of grade of low-grade leather like people commonly repeat for some reason.
Something like full-grain leather is considered genuine leather.

But full-grain leather is genuine leather?
Genuine leather just means something is made from actual leather and isn't faux-leather.
I know a lot of people commonly repeat that it's a grade of leather, but that's not true, it's just a broad category to give to all types of actual animal based leather.

Sure, that was my kind of my point; no idea why I was downvoted.
I was just pointing out that was the person I was replying to made no sense, since you can't avoid buying genuine leather if you want full-grain.
The only way what they were saying made any sense is if they thought genuine leather was a 'grade' of leather like full-grain is, which is some nonsense that keeps getting repeated for some reason.
