This question seems a little tricky because the answer is too obvious to be accepted without further discussion. However, I will try to explain in detail the validity of my answer.
If we say that a song transcends musical Genres, it is because the song has gone beyond the limitations of rhythm; such a song is too great to be framed into one specific musical category. Because that is what genres are, musical categories used to define music.
Having mentioned the former, one can no longer enclose such a song into one single genre, sometimes it could be considered a “fusion” if two well-defined musical genres are overtly present in the song.
But all in all, the answer to this question would be no, you can no define any longer a transcended song into either or one musical genre, at most you could call it a fusion.

For clarification purposes, what exactly do you need assistance with? Is it getting an opinion? Trouble understanding what the question means? Please explain and I will try to quickly reply :)

Bud uses his rules for both, but it's really based on your opinion. I personally think some rules are meant for physically surviving, and some rules are meant for thriving. For example, the rule "Gone = dead!" (rules #28) really helps him for both. But the rule "Don't ever say something bad about someone you don't know - especially around a bunch of strangers." (rule #63) helps him survive. He could get physically hurt by someone, and he's more likely to if it's about someone he doesn't know and doesn't know what that person is capable of. When I did this with "Bud, not Buddy", I said it helps him thrive more, but it's really based on your opinion! Hope this helped. <3
