Genre

Genre
noun

A style or category of art, music, or literature.
"the spy thriller is a very masculine genre"

In today's music industry there are a vast number of different genres and new genres of music being created. These different genres tend to all have different styles of music promos to suit the style/genre of music; a dark music promo would suit a song from a punk genre more than pop.

The most common genres are: Indie, Pop, Rock, Rap. Each of these genres have very different music promos, for example Eminem's music promo for 'Lose Yourself' is contrasty different to David Bowie's 'Let's Dance'.



Many genres have stereotypical feature/elements in their videos which make the genre more identifiable to an audience. Stereotypically most pop music promos will feature a dance routine in the video, an example of this would be Ariana Grande's music promo for 'Focus'

Contrasty this would not happen in a rock genre music video as pop dance routines would be very unusual with the genre. An example could be Green Day's 'American Idiot', this music video is performance based and the style of dance (seen above) would not fit with the punk genre.
