quoting [wikipedia:](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genre) > Genre ... "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is the term for any category of literature, as well as various other forms of art or culture e.g. music, based on some loose set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. So genres evolve as they come and go, and based on current cultural state - we could say there is a _current_ established definition.
