Reply to comment by Griffen_07 in Do you think it's still possible to create new genres? by DiagonallyStripedRat

I'm glad we've established that your feelings on what "genre" means holds more credence than the actual dictionaries.

And, since you seem to still be focusing on sub-genres, I'll say it one more time: Sub-genres are still genres.

Since you are focusing on dictionaries, Webster defines a sub-genre as one that belongs to a larger genre.

The OP asked about new genres on the level of romance, thriller, and mystery. These are higher level splits.

It's funny you didn't post Webster's full definition. We both know why that is.

Their definition of sub-genre is, "a genre that is part of a larger genre".
