Genre refers to a classification or category of artistic, literary, or cultural production that shares a set of common features, themes, or stylistic conventions. In the context of folklore, genre is used to distinguish between different types of oral traditions, narrative forms, and performative practices. Folklore as a discipline studies the expressive culture of a community, and genres help in organizing this vast repository of human creativity into identifiable patterns. For instance, myths, legends, folktales, ballads, proverbs, riddles, songs, and ritual performances are often classified into distinct genres. Each of these genres has its own internal rules—myths are sacred narratives dealing with origins, legends often have a historical basis, folktales are fictional stories meant for entertainment and moral instruction, and ballads are narrative songs that recount events. Understanding genre in folklore allows scholars to analyze how communities use stories and performances to transmit cultural values, negotiate social relationships, and express collective identities. Genre transformation refers to the process by which these traditional genres undergo change, adaptation, or reinterpretation over time due to shifts in society, economy, technology, and cultural interactions.
