Genre is described as a category of either art, music, or literature.
This is what Wikipedia explains music genre as:
A variety of different theorists describe genre in their own way and have their own thoughts surrounding the idea of "genre". For example, David Duff explains it as "a recurring type or category of text, as defined by structural and thematic criteria" Another theorist, called Barry Grant says that "all genres have sub-genres, which means they are divided into a more specific group for that particularly song. This allows the audience to easily recognize the song specifically by their characteristics which are easily recognizable." In addition to this, Steve Neale states that "genres are not systems, but rather a process of systemisation."
