Genre

What genre is, and how it affects our daily lives:

Genre: "A distinctive style, form or content." E.g. thriller, fantasy, romance, etc.

Genres help us to categorise different 'art forms,' whether they be literature, movies, or music. Therefore, we can apply this categorisation to help us look for different styles of these art forms. Which essentially is saying, genres can help us with our recreational or homework activities, by rounding art forms up into separate groups.

Example: If I wanted to watch a scary movie, I would go to the Horror section in a movie store.
