Its a loose set of criteria for a category of literary composition or any art form. In all art forms, genres are vague categories with no fixed boundaries. It is usually confined to art and culture, particularly literature.
Examples would be tragedy, comedy, satire, drama, mystery, science fiction, etc.

The genre of a book is the category under which it falls. the 2 main genres are fiction and non fiction. There is loosely set criteria that determines the genre of a book. Let's say there is an alien who is trying to take over earth. The first classification would be that of fiction. Then we make it more specific. We say the genre is science fiction bcuz it is scientific but at the same time unrealistic. Other well known genres are Historical Fiction, drama, comedy, gothic, etc.

Genre is the style of a book. It could be a western, or horror or a thriller or a romance ... there are many genre. Lately genres are blending and you are seeing more and more books that are paranormal mysteries and romantic horror stories. Most books don't fall into one genre anymore. Pax- C

Genre means type or style. For example if you're talking about music it could be rock, rap, pop, metal, etc........ If you're talking about books or movies then you should refer back to Science fiction, biography, fantasy, etc........
