Overall, #Hijack is a pretty good thriller with a couple of nice twists that make it a fresh take on the #genre, though it still heavily relies on stereotypical scenarios.

The son's storyline was lazily done and resolved, as was the final encounter.

C+/B-, 3.5 stars.

Oh yeah, can we also stop with the highly toxic and overly common portrayal of men trying to "win back" women who have moved on as anything but controlling and at least borderline criminally stalkeresque? Thanks male writers!

@TatianaIlyina

Great question!

I'd go with "splainer". The "splain" as a genre is predominantly carried out from men to women, hence the famous "mansplaining" term. Notwithstanding, it can be done from any gender towards any gender, leading to the suggested broader usage "splain".

Oh, and yes you are right: the above sounds quite like a splain itself.

I'd be appreciative if you listen and actually if you could tell me what genre it falls into? Because I'm not really sure.

Oh, and as a #genre researcher I applaud your use of the term here. It's very fitting. And the genre label is glorious.

I've actually never heard of " #OrientalMetal " before

#Genre was maybe the wrong word to use before (not sure if I should go back and change it?) the geographic label is more just a "category" that overlaps with genre and style.

There is also a #GermanMetal playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EId7CFKROoBp9

But that isn't simple either… it could be a language category if not for the English Language band "Emigrate" featuring #RichardKruspe from #Rammstein … and one track from "Oomph!" in English

and it doesn't work as a national category because it features #Nachtmar from #Austria and #Laibach from #Slovenia (both a bit problematic) but at least they didn't include the bands from the USA that use some #German in their lyrics? (often less problematic, just not very German)

maybe "German Metal" works as a "theme"?

I'm not sure if "Arab metal" works as a category at all? Maybe "Arabic metal" including a few related tracks like that "German metal" list?

I thought this thread was forking but it's ended up linking back to the "where does Melechesh come from?" #Znous don't seem to think they are #IsraeliMetal "We understand that things went the way they went with early “Oriental Metal” bands coming from historical Palestine like #Melechesh or #OrphanedLand (which were the first to be labelled so). Many newer bands coming from the region have unfortunately adhered to this bordering-racist and discriminatory term/genre." https://www.znousland.net/we-are-not-oriental-metal-do-not-exotify-us/ (same link as in previous post)

I also saw Orphaned Land on that "Israeli Metal" list https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EIfUNA6VGyfJf they are just "Formed in Israel in 1991…" https://open.spotify.com/artist/7xTMxqAmbtE0Nce5lz7t0h

I'm not sure how they identify given the essay from Znous describes them as from "historical Palestine" but i am curious now…

Now I am wondering if there a #ChineseMetal #spotifyPlaylist with #Chthonic on it?

Even though that the movie is generic is really enjoyable is a couple of #PlotTwist even on the plot twists themselves.

In worldbuilding and RPGs, settings tend to get associated with a genre to go with. But a persistent game world has the advantage that it can be visited through the lens of different genre types. Set a rom com in your dark fantasy world, or a courtroom in your sci-fi, or a game of Fiasco in your post-apoc. Hell, set your smut and erotica in your world!

If reality can encompass a kaleidoscope of human experience and moods, so can our fictional worlds. #rpg #ttrpg #genre #worldbuilding #scifi

Here's a genre conundrum for you.

The preface "this may be a silly question" (or variations thereof) hardly ever preceeds an actually silly question.

However, the preface "this is a provocative question" (or variations thereof) almost invariably prededes a silly question. 1/

L’Institut européen pour l’égalité des genres relève qu’en 2023, l’égalité entre femmes et hommes a progressé dans l’UE. Notamment du côté du soin et des tâches domestiques dans le couple où les femmes assurent moins l’intendance… Parce qu’elles font plus souvent appel à des aides ménagères.

In fine, ce sont donc toujours les femmes qui font le boulot, mais la domination de classe se combine maintenant à la domination de genre.

The most surprising thing about the shifter romance and shifter erotica genres is how little actual *shifting* takes place in so many titles. It's not so absolute as to suggest an actual taboo against sexualizing a werewolf while s/he's in wolf form (for example) but if it's not a taboo, it's certainly strong enough to feel as if it's at least a genre convention. #ShifterRomance #ShifterErotica #Shifters #romance #erotica #genre #werewolf #taboo

I should add that I completely agree with @venya - that people's ways of using these websites can vary hugely. There's no one size fits all. Personally, though, I never use #music discovery, and absolutely never stream music, other than to briefly check out an artist. To me, #genre definitions, and thus much of algorithmic music #discovery and #streaming have done more damage to music than they have good.

The Grist 50 2023 list looks pretty stellar. So great to see Justine Norton-Kertson represented on there; we need #solarpunk #storytelling sure, but we need to support and recognize the people who make it possible for those stories to be read / heard / seen / celebrated.

Was ist das wirkmächstigste, und weitverbreiteste #Phantastik-#Genre?

Fantasy?
Science Fiction?
Superhelden?
Horror?

Nope.

Korrekte Antwort lautet: Reklame.

#til, #punk belongs on this list as well.

I've refrained from claiming the roots of all "#popular" music (the extremely broad #genre, not specifically every #music style people like) is the music of #Black people, but I'll do so no longer.

"...#SexPistols, AKA: History's first #BoyBand" 🫢😂👍🏿

And I was literally thinking last night that #LedZeppelin is mostly a #CoverBand, and was gratified with the same assessment made here.

It is really interesting that humans can have an almost visceral reaction to some music genre and I really want to know why. #music #genre

"Hip hop in 2023 is mostly something to be leaned on for credibility.

“It gives the illusion of hipness to regressive ideas.

“Hip hop has become ornamental. Biggie is on Old Navy and Gap t-shirts. 

“American Capitalism, like the reaper, is always lurking.

“It will consume your culture, no matter how subversive, and sell it back to you at a higher cost, as a box containing nothing."

Ok, så har jeg et udkast til en bagsidetekst til min nye bog. Den følger herunder. Konstruktive kommentarer og forslag modtages med kyshånd. Boost gerne, så jeg kan få flere gode øjne på teksten.

Bogens (ikke specielt geniale) titel er "Genre i litteratur og samfund". #uniliv #dkmastodon #DanskerTrut #bog #litteratur #genre. 1/

Is there a name for the genre I call “Sad Working Class British Comedies” or are they just dramatic comedies?

It’s one of my favorite sub genres of cinema.

Okay, here is one I'm sure plenty of #ElectronicMusicians will get.

It's almost a cliche, but I don't really know what #genre of #music I'm making at any given time. The odd time, sure, "that could be hiphop" or good old catch all terms like #IDM or #Electronica can be applied without much issue.

However the real problem arises when you think well perhaps is "BonkWave" or whatever, and then some other #MusicHead who is Full On Bonk Wave Hard says "This is not Bonk Wave"

Really?

Et si je contrebalançais mes derniers posts tristes avec quelque chose de chouette ?

Y a deux projets linguistiques qui me tiennent très à coeur:

1. travailler avec d'autres personnes #queer sur le lexique et la grammaire neutre/dégenrée française

Les vieilles formes du français et les langues régionales peuvent nous apprendre beaucoup sur le genre neutre, et il n'est très gratifiant de même créer des choses avec simplement la phonologie française et l'orthographe. Pas besoin de citer les #neopronoms comme exemple !

2. Aider les langues régionales françaises à revivre, à survivre et à se faire réapproprier par leurs locuteurs
(pour moi focus sur le #breton / #brezhoneg et le #poitevin / #Poetevin )

Ces langues pourraient bien aussi bénéficier de groupes de travail sur les termes queer, sur la #sexualite le #genre les dynamiques romantiques etc !

Il me semble qu'un lexique queer et féministe doit sortir cette année ou l'année prochaine par le collectif #difenn en Bretagne

You probably don't need a #genre researcher to tell you this, but I happen to be one, so I'll tell you anyway: this is genre interpretation done right.

Hats off.

Also, the fact that you can do genre interpretation in your field much better than I could ever hope to do, demonstrates the mastery that follows with knowing and practicing a genre in contrast to just knowing the theory of genre.

#Genre | Des informaticiennes strasbourgeoises témoignent de la difficile féminisation du métier

En France, l’industrie du #numérique ne compte que 17% de femmes. Malgré les opportunités financières et d’emploi, les candidates aux formations en #informatique sont encore rares. Trois Strasbourgeoises racontent leur éprouvante insertion professionnelle dans ce milieu très masculin.

My single greatest challenge as a second language speaker of English is a slightly ironic one. When I pronounce the word "genre" in English, people can't understand it.

Do you want to read the whole thread of #MusicTips I've been sharing? I review #songs mostly in #PopMusic genres for #IndieArtists wanting to improve their craft and be commercially successful, i.e., having wide appeal within their #genre and getting as many people as possible who dig that genre to listen to their #music and love it.

Second, I review songs not compositions. A #song is #music AND #lyrics, meant to be sung together. So if you compose music in a genre that does not have words set to a melody, some of my observations won't apply to you.
If you write songs in a #genre other than the ones I listed in my previous post, some of my thoughts won't apply to you, either. Like all advice, take what you feel is useful and ignore the rest. Don't @ me about it. I'm not going to cover all aspects of each genre.

#Genre | Aux États-Unis, les féministes créent un réseau clandestin pour des pilules abortives

Depuis que la Cour suprême est revenue sur le droit constitutionnel à l’#avortement, des militantes féministes installées dans les États ultra-conservateurs tentent de faire parvenir des pilules abortives aux femmes les plus vulnérables. Quitte à braver la loi.

I just heard an author say in defence of her romance novels: “Sure, it’s not ULYSSES. But who wants to read ULYSSES?”

Perhaps millions of readers over several generations. Readers who’ve thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

But putting this aside: you can defend your mass market work without attacking high modernism. This is just lazy.

Yeah, I know the title "Genres Inside Genres: A Short Theory of Embedded Genre" isn't exactly too sexy for its clothes. However this brief study might actually change how you read a little bit.

I am excessively proud of it, and it took forever to write.

#Genre #Definitions may only matter in the academic sense, but they are meaningfully distinct. They denote a #Story's main focus/purpose. e.g. A #Horror story's purpose is to frighten/horrify the reader and reveal what's cathartic and healthy about doing so. For one, if we don't confront our fears in some way, they only grow.

Gerald So

Outside academia, I don't think people agree on #Genre #Definitions. #Writers themselves don't want their work limited to one label - crime, mystery, horror, thriller... A cagey writer might say, "I write #Novels with crime, mystery, horror, and thrills."
