A genre (pronounced /ˈʒɑːnrə/, also /ˈdʒɑːnrə/; from French, genre /ʒɑ̃ʀ/, "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is a loose set of criteria for a category of composition; the term is often used to categorize literature and speech, but is also used for any other form of art or utterance. Genres are vague categories with no fixed boundaries, they are formed by sets of conventions, and many works cross into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. The scope of the word "genre" is sometimes confined to art and culture, particularly literature and music, but it has a long history in rhetoric as well. In genre studies the concept of genre is not compared to originality. Rather, all works are recognized as either reflecting on or participating in the conventions of genre.

Subgenre and hybrid forms

Genres are often divided into subgenres. Literature, for example, is divided into three basic kinds of literature, which are the classic genres of Ancient Greece: poetry, drama, and prose. Poetry may then be subdivided into epic, lyric, and [[drama it is also the theme or idea of a story.

How would you classify these songs into a specific genre, or type of music?
Q. This is probably going to come off as really dumb but I've noticed I like a certain "type" of music, but don't know what it is. Some of my favorite songs include Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits, Ventura Highway by America, Evil Ways by Santana, Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot, etc etc. Is this a specific genre? Also if you recognize any of these songs and can recommend anything similar? Thanks for the help!
