What is Genre

Genre is a specific type, style or subject matter. It can have elements of different genre so would be split into a sub genre.

Genre have changed over the years as certain things are now socially acceptable when in the past they were unacceptable and in some cases illegal e.g. showing explicit images
In the 1960's it was illegal to show this. This is because it would have been seen as morally wrong Nowadays most films contain this if they are over a 12. This shows a dramatic change in genre as it used to be illegal and now it's shown to 12 year old kids.
