>are also called indo-Europeans but it's way cooler to say yamnaya
"Indo-European" is the linguistic label. Yamnaya is the archaeological one. Indo-European sounds like some soy academic term so I stick with Yamnaya.
>either did so by genociding other cultures in Europe or coexisting and showing them their culture (sympathy)
More the former. There were sharp population replacements in places like Britain and Central Europe. We’re talking up to 90% turnover in some regions.
 
1. Defining Yamnaya genetically is difficult

2. Indo European culture was never racially pure although it focussed on eurasian groups

3. Among the Yamnaya only certain groups were successful and expanded into the forest steppe

4. Europeans resemble this group the most, phenotypically and culturally

5. Northern Europeans still hold the most Yamnaya derived DNA
