Genre (pronounced /ˈʒɑːnrə/, also /ˈdʒɑːnrə/; from French, genre French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ʀ], "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is the term for any category of literature, as well as various other forms of art or culture e.g. music, based on some loose set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions. While the scope of the word "genre" is commonly confined to art and culture, it also defines individuals' interactions with and within their environments.

Q. That's the genre of The Catcher In The Rye apparently. But i don't know how to open my essay. Should i say it's a Bildungsroman novel. Or it's a novel of the Bildungsroman genre.
