What is Genre?
Steve Neale - "Instances of repetition and difference"
Films belonging to a certain genre all share common conventions and tropes which are constantly evolving over time, causing genres and their significant features to be constantly changing in accordance with social context.
Andrew Tudor - "A genre reflects a social and moral world"
Elements of genres reflect current events occurring in reality, even if subtly. As social and moral events in life are constantly changing, genres will evolve over time.
