Genre (pronounced /ˈʒɑːnrə/, also /ˈdʒɑːnrə/; from French, genre , "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is the term for a category of literature, as well as various other forms of art or culture, based on some loose set of 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.

While the scope of the word "genre" is commonly confined to art and culture, it also defines individuals' interactions with and within their environments. These interactions and environments must be recurring in order to be recognized as genre.

What musical genre has the most dedicated fans?
Q. What genre of music has the most dedicated fans? I am not really a fan of one particular genre, but I would have to say Metal (all types) has the most dedicated fanbase. Bands like Iron Maiden have been playing large venues for decades and they get absolutely no radio support.

A. Metal has and probably always will have the most loyal fans ever.

What are the best Bollywood films for a newcomer to the genre?
Q. I want to see some Bollywood films, but have idea where to start! I'm fine with subtitles - my main criteria is that they should be classics in the genre, accessible for those with little previous experience of such films, and be easy to get hold of (preferably the kind of thing a public library would have). Any suggestions?
