Reply to comment by We_Get_It_You_Vape in Do you think it's still possible to create new genres? by DiagonallyStripedRat

Since you are focusing on dictionaries, Webster defines a sub-genre as one that belongs to a larger genre.

The OP asked about new genres on the level of romance, thriller, and mystery. These are higher level splits.

It's funny you didn't post Webster's full definition. We both know why that is.

Their definition of sub-genre is, "a genre that is part of a larger genre".
