Hip-hop is a part of rock & roll because it comes from DJ culture. DJ culture is the embodiment of all genres and all recorded music, if you actually pay attention to it.
I read a lot – and I read a variety of genres.
I’m proud of all my films. I’ve enjoyed great success in many different genres. I have been very blessed to have so many ideas and to continuously produce successful films.
I am not interested in genres. I am interested in doing the best work I can in whatever medium.
My goal was to tell a dialogue between high fashion and streetwear. So, the name Off-White, in my mind, is between black and white. So, that middle ground is a mixture between both genres of fashion.

I love dabbling in different genres, and I like being good at different genres of cinema.
My music is pretty versatile; I have a lot of genres and styles. I don’t think I should be pigeonholed into one thing. So we’ll see where my career goes.
I love singing all types of genres.
I really look up to people who experiment in all areas and I think Johnny Depp is a really good actor to look up to because he’s done so many genres of films.
Other genres are plot-driven, but the entire focus of a romance novel is on the characters and their arcs.
I like the idea of blending genres.
Genres aren’t closed boxes. Stuff flows back and forth across the borders all the time.
I’d like to try different genres: comedy, period drama, rom-com, action.
I’m glad I’ve been offered songs from various genres, but I love singing melodies the most.

I enjoy working on different genres.
I love to listen to lots of different genres of music, but mostly movie soundtracks and music theater.
Britain can claim to lead the world in murder because it was a country that industrialized early. Other countries, going through the same process later, caught up and produced their own genres of detective fiction.
I try to be eclectic in my choice of films. If I’ve done anything that’s intentional in my career, it’s to try to do as many different types of characters and as many different types of genres of movies that I can.
Funk could very easily be called jazz, but you call it funk. Does that really matter? People dig that they associate themselves with certain genres, but the genres to me are made up things, like an imaginary world.
I see my music as Emotional Therapeutic Pop music that bleeds into loads of different genres.
I am genuinely into soul, R&B and hip hop – all these genres that get slapped under the ‘soul’ genre. That spoke to me more than it did to my punk-rock friends. And punk spoke more to me than it did to my soul friends. I basically didn’t fit comfortably in either world.
If one goes by my filmography, I have done several films of different genres.
I think it’s really hard to move between genres, and I think, especially in Britain, we’re very judgmental about it – me included. I know that when an actor comes out with some poetry or an album, I think, ‘Oh crikey, what’s this going to be like?’
I want to do films in different languages because I want to tell stories in different genres.
I don’t really care that much about genre labels. I tend to write across a variety of different genres.
Listening to all these different musical genres from all over the world and listening to my father’s record collection, the Irish folk influences from home. Of course they’re all in there somewhere hiding within the lyrics and melodies. But rap music was the biggest influence on my way of writing and my performing.
I’m pretty omnivorous – in fact, I don’t think of books in terms of genres. J. K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ books are no more Y.A. reading, to me, than John le Carre’s ‘Smiley’ novels are spy stories.
All the classical genres are now ridiculous in their rigorous purity.
I’ve always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
I can work across all genres of music be it classical, hip-hop, western, traditional or folk.
I feel it’s my duty, my job, now to allow people to hear the dance to different genres of music, to ensure audiences have the chance to listen to tap dancing up against all these other styles.
Different films, different genres show the different things I do. It’s nice because it brings different groups of people to following what I’m doing. So hopefully, it kind of reiterates that I’m not just a one-trick pony as well.
As a composer, I want to try different genres, and I always look forward to trying different things, but I think the word ‘romantic’ is synonymous with my name, and that’s why I am offered such songs.
I like songs in all different genres and types. My production and songwriting is everything from pop rock to hip-hop and everything in between.
I’m influenced by a lot of different genres of music. So I’m constantly trying to rework production and make things interesting in the live show and on records.
I don’t think I’ve ever been true to jazz. There’s always a kind of jazz element to what I do. There are a very few genres that I haven’t tried out, really, in what I’ve been doing. As a jazz musician, you can kind of mess about with things with a certain level of musicianship, which helps.
From 11 to 17, I just toured my butt off with my dad and my sister. We hit the road and I was singing all kinds of different songs and different types of genres. But I knew from an early age what I wanted my sound to be, which was country on bass, and I wanted to be a country artist.
I have always been fascinated by Kollywood because of the interesting scripts and genres that they come up with.
We’ve learned a lot of dance genres that a lot of girl groups tend not to learn, and we think those things will be a point of differentiation when we perform on stage.
Like immense time-binding discussions, genres allow ideas to be developed and traded, and for variations to be spun down through decades.
People on YouTube say they don’t think people should mix genres. Those are the same people who don’t think they should mix races. It’s gonna always be that, but you can only pray that music can bring everybody together as one.
I want to play a variety of different characters in different genres of film.
I think there are certain genres of music where people are allowed to go on, but there is something about rock and roll, I guess because it originally started out to be a teenage rebellion.
I’d like to extend my career a little bit into different genres.
‘Upstairs Downstairs’ somehow bestrode the different genres that had come before it to create a new drama entity. I suppose that’s one of the reasons why it became so instantly popular.
Genre hopping is something I intend to do, and I intend to do it forever and ever because I think genres are boring.
It’s like somehow my favorite filmmakers, you know, bounce between genres. Like if you look at a career of somebody like Soderbergh or Danny Boyle or the Coen’s. I mean, it goes – there’s no real through line other than just their style, but the type of genre or the type of subject matter seems to go all over.
In my introductory course, Anthropology 160, the Forms of Folklore, I try to show the students what the major and minor genres of folklore are, and how they can be analyzed.
I would love to do some collaborations for my album – the more the merrier! It’s fun to experiment and get to tap into different genres and sounds through collaborations.
After I started writing crime fiction, I said to myself, ‘I may be limited, but the genre’s not. There’s no reason to change genres if I’m happy writing what I write.’ And I am.
Somerset desperately needs more high-end music making on its doorstep, so the chance to share great music spanning genres as diverse as orchestral classics, trip hop and jazz, in the utterly relaxed and cathartic environment of a Somerset field, is for me the fulfilment of a long-term dream.
That’s something I want to do: cover all sorts of genres to find the one I love most.
I do enjoy intense, bloodthirsty action, but I like to blend and cross genres. I don’t want to be too predictable.
Horror, almost better than any of the other genres, pits the will to live against the will toward nihilism. I just think that’s worth exploring. I don’t know what is more important, actually, to explore than that very dynamic.
I always wanted to do action-adventure, and science fiction genres were always something that were of great interest to me.
As an actor I believe in doing all sorts of genres.
I’m usually the bad guy, you know, but I do a lot of different genres of acting.
I’ve always been an artist that has had a problem with genres, staying in the box, and being told what I had to be.
There’s many different genres, and when you see R&B and pop and house, as well as electronic, come together, that’s the reality of what music is.
