Genre Types

As we have been learning about Genre, I have learnt that there are three types of genre categories.

Cross-genre

A cross-genre is where there are two or more genres crossing and overlapping with each other to create a new sound or genre. An example of a cross-genre is Pop Rock.

Hybrid Genre

This is where there is one genre and can clearly only be identified as one genre and has clear conventions. 

Sub-Genre

A Sub-genre is where there is a different type of one particular genre. These are very popular and most genres have sub-genres. An example would be stadium rock.
