I define genre as a series of things which has similarities. All of them are defined as a group or type. Genre can be formed by whoever: artist, writer, composer, etc. One can create genre by create a series of things which has similarities but exclusive to any others and carry his or her style, and ideas. Artists create genre through their pictures, base on their style of using color, shape and ideas. The same with writers,they create genre through their writing which carry their style, the use of writing techniques, use of vocabulary and their ideas.
The purpose of genre is to define one type to others. One create his or her genre through the works to define him/herself to others. For instance, in Barbara Kruger's case, her arts made people remember her and every time they look at her images, they can tell right away that is her works. Genre also reflects thoughts, beliefs of person who create it.
