Genres ? Who needs them ?

I believe that both artists and scholars contribute to making a genre. The roles of the artists and scholars differ in making genre. It is the artists who bring the genre into the picture by making an interpretation or posing an opinion then acting on that impulse and creating a series of artworks. Then the role of the scholars is to come in and analyze, redefine and clarify that specific genre.

Genres are created for a wide range of people. Just as people differ in taste and opinion they differ in preference of genre. Due to this a wide range of genres are created to suit almost everyone. Genres serve few different purposes ranging from a style of music to a type of art or expression. This way every ones different points of view along with their preferences are expressed for each and every individual to pick and choose from to their liking.
