Genre Fag

Any stuck up or pompous asshole who over classifies music to exclude other people from enjoying it and elevate themselves from a social clique. Will needlessly slap stupid and pointless labels on music that sounds pretty much the fucking same for no other reason than the afore mentioned. Noted for incredible superiority complexes and complete bullshit.
Me: So you listen to metal?

Genre Fag: I don't listen to metal man, I only listen to post punk harmonic death core.

C'est la guerre

Literally: "It's the war!"

This French phrase of resignation gained widespread use during World War II. It provided the universal excuse for everything that was broken, no longer functioned, was unavailable or could not be accomplished. It also explained away all unusual behavior. That it is in the language of a nation whose life and joie de vivre was being crushed by an occupational army gives it an aroused sensibility.

The phrase lingered into European reconstruction and then into modern times in all nations. It is spoken with a wry acknowledgement of its former literal meaning even though it may currently describe any other interfering force preventing accomplishment of a task, even laziness.
Jacques: "Renee gave herself to some soldiers for a bar of chocolate and a pair of silk stockings. What a slut!"
Pierre: "No, no, she's a good girl. C'est la guerre!"

Howard: "Traffic has become so tied up every day that I have to allow an additional hour to get to the city."
Jimmy: "That's life in the big city, C'est la guerre."

Bon chic, bon genre

French for "good style, good attitude." Max Azria's popular women's clothing line BCBG, founded in 1989, is an acronym of this phrase. Also the name of former British indie rock band Campag Velocet's debut album, released in 1999.
"I think Campag Velocet's debut album Bon Chic, Bon Genre is much better than their follow-up album It's Beyond Our Control."

genre

How films are catagorised in movie rental places.

A grouping based on shared similar characteristics.

In theory genre exists for convenience, allowing people to identify broad groups without having to name specific titles from within the group.

In other words, you can decide on a film to rent without having to go through reading the back of each and every box.

Often however there are discrepancies with the categorisations, particularly as the boundaries between genres can be quite fluid. In practice this means genre categories can be less than helpful.

The term also applies to other media such as music, books, theatre and art.
Examples of film genres could include: Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Kids, Horror, Science Fiction.
