Genre means type in French it is used the group types of media products together like comedy.

A  genre is made by people repeating the same type of media product, like someone will make a great film that no one has never done before that revolutionises film, like i.e a stealth thriller or somthing and people will make a similar film because it did so good in the box office.

 People like genres because people in general stick to what they like they are hnot very open minded. they are more likly to buy the same type of music over and over insted of changing suddenly one day

so pople build up connections with certant bands and music types and if a band in that genre changes their style to a different genre they will lose all there fanbase because they dont like their music anymore and wont buy it.

Then more people make it and then you have a genre of films. ’stealth films’

people expect things from genres like people who are into a type of music like rock and they buy the new rock album and they have changed the background into jazz blues

people are going to be offended

there are many genre types for each media products
