My favourite genre is the pop genre. Steve neale said that genre was about repetition and difference, I agree with this because although to create a genre you must stay true to the same basic codes and conventions every artist has a different and individual sound. This is show in hybridity when two or more genres combine to create a sound that the artist themselves has personally created.
Hodge and Kress also suggest genre is restrictive, meaning they create an expectation mostly from the listeners, I agree with this statement because if the listeners identify an artist as a pop artist, they will be expecting a pop sound, if not they have been mislead.
