I know Brad Bird, and others out there, have been saying they don't believe animation should be considered its own separate genre, but what's the deal with all the new audience-specific genres now?
I mean usually, there was just the basics: comedy, drama, action/adventure, horror/thriller, yadda-yadda-yadda, but now, we suddenly have genres that are specific to certain audiences, like "urban" (for black shows and movies), teen is apparently a genre now, not to mention anime always has its own section in the DVD stores. What, were comedy, drama, etc. too broad and ambiguous? We have to specify everything now?
