Genre refers to the category that something (in this case music ) falls into. The characteristics it has will determine what genre it is conventional to.
It is easy to identify different genres by looking at their characteristics. For example, I can automatically tell if a music video falls into the rock genre falls into the rock genre because it will have low key lighting and be performances based focusing on the band.
Some examples of genres are:
R'n'B
Chris Brown - Excuse me miss
Follows classic conventions of the R'n'B genre and also the hip hop genre such as:
- Hip hop, smooth dancing
- Trying to get the girl, singing and dancing to her
- intimate scene (in the car)
- Basketball court is conventional to the hip hop genre
- dressed in urban wear fro that time (boys , baggy trousers, hats - girls (short skirts, crop tops)
