Genre Theory- Steve Neale

It is easy to underplay the differences within a genre. Genres offer an important way of framing texts. Steve Neale declares that 'Genres are instances of repetition and differences'. He adds that 'Difference is absolutely essential to the economy of genre'.
Genre is a term that can be split up into different categories, based on characteristics that they share, for example, settingsstoryline's, narratives, characters and themes
In particular, genre can be referred to music videos, and they can be classified as being a particular genre, for example, pop, rock and hip-hop


He also say's that, definitions of genre are historically relative and are therefore historically specific. Believed that there was a system of expectation and that by using own knowledge and applying conventions of the genre, the audience should be able to infer the narrative and storyline of the music video. He also declares that difference is essential to the economy of genre; mere repetition would not attract the audience
