A genre is defined in Grove Music Online as "A class, type or category, sanctioned by convention"[1] A music genre is a conventional category that identifies pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions. It is to be distinguished from musical form and musical style, although in practice these terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
