What creates genre

What makes a genre to me is, the fact that you tried to voice your say in something that you tried to show an understanding for something you were talking about. I think anyone can make a genre some are just more known than others. A regular everyday person can make a genre, it does not have to be a famous person all the time. My nephew is an artist and I would say his style of drawing is a genre because it is something that he created he express his words through drawing, and I find that interesting from an artist' point of view. He is just and everyday regular guy but to a person more known around the world like Leonardo Da Vinci he made his genre known to the world through what he did. Da Vinci looked at the sky to see stars, he was a philosopher and some people looked down on him but some respected him as well. Everyone will not agree with a genre but anyone can make one. A genre can make a person into a different person depending on If you look at that person as say for instance An emotional writer but they have a gothic style of writing you would then start to look at them as having more of a gothic writing style. Or a person who is a poet like Edgar Allen Poe he had a gothic writing style that made people look at him like a dark person but he was not always that way. A genre also can change a person with their views and their writings or anything they ever do. If you have a genre you are the genre, but you can change your genre and the first one will remain because someone out there will agree with that genre and take it for their own. Almost like a trend but a good kind of trend.
