GENRE
Music genre is a category or type belonging to a shared tradition or a set of conventions. Music is divided in different genre like pop, rock , hip hop etc. Though there are a variety of genres but this classification is often subjective and sometimes genres overlap each other.
Music genre is very important and it could be very well noticed that the genre is the first label placed on the band. Most importantly it is used to target a specific audience and most of all it would be easy for both the maker and the viewer to easily categorize their work. Though not every band is able to stick neatly into the little space of its genre there are some music videos that follow up the pattern of disjuncture as stated by Andrew Godwin which means that the song intentionally ignores the content of the song and the genre of the music.Like for example: Can't stop by Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
However with passage of time new genres have arised by the development of new forms and styles of music and also simply by creating a new category. Although it is possible to create a musical style with no relation to existing genres yet the new styles appear under the influence of preexisting genres. The blend of more then two genres in music is often known as Fusion. Though it is influenced by other music genres fusion somehow has become a genre in itself. Instrumental fusion based on the experimental mix of rock and roll , country pop.
It is difficult to categorize fusion artists within a non-fusion styles. There might be many reasons but one of the biggest one could be the overlapping of one genre with the other. Fusion artists generally consider themselves part of both genres. A musician who plays music that is blues but is influenced by rock, for example, is often labelled a blues-rock musician.
