A genre is what the text/movie/show is made for. A children's cartoon, like <u>Spongebob</u> is obviously made for 7-14 that is the genre. While the movie <u>A Quiet Place</u> is rated PG-13. Genre can also include, Sci-fi, Romance, Drama, Action, and much more.
Genre is thus a concept that is routinely employed by anybody viewing, reading, or listening to “texts.” Genres driven by props and settings (genres of style) include science fiction, fantasy, western, horror, period drama, war, and realism.
