Genre
A genre is a category of artistic work defined by shared conventions, themes, styles or subject matter.
Used across film, television, music, literature, video games and other forms of media, genres help audiences understand the type of experience a work is likely to offer while providing creators with a framework that can be embraced, combined or subverted.
Common film genres include drama, comedy, horror, science fiction, action, romance and documentary, while music encompasses genres such as rock, pop, hip hop, jazz, classical, country and electronic. As artistic styles evolve, genres frequently overlap, giving rise to subgenres and hybrid forms that continually reshape popular culture.
