Post 6: What is sub-genre?



A sub-genre is when two genres come together to make a mixture of both. For example:
An action-thriller would have both ideas and concepts from both the action genre and the thriller genre. There would be fast paced chase scenes, fighting scenes, the usual ideas from the action genre, but there would also be the heightened sense of emotion - suspense, anxiety, anticipation, etc. - that are normally found in thrillers.
A sub-genre goes into more detail with the content of the novel/film, as genres such as thrillers can be very broad.
