Subgenres

Subgenres are specialized categories within a larger genre, used to better organize and describe works that share specific themes, styles, or features. For example, in fiction, the broad genre "fantasy" may include subgenres like "epic fantasy," "urban fantasy," and "dark fantasy," each with distinct characteristics. Subgenres help audiences identify works that match their interests and enable creators to target specific themes or tones. Overall, they serve as nuanced classifications that deepen our understanding of the diversity within a broader genre.
