A genre hybrid combines elements from two or more genres such as literature, art, and music. Genre hybrids often occur when an author or director wants to appeal to more people by merging genres. Some examples of genre hybrids include action/comedy films, comedy/dramas, romantic comedies, crime/fantasy works, and horror/romance stories.

elements from two or more different types of
genres.

stronger as it is able to follow the guidelines
and conventions of each genre and therefore
appeal to people who are interested in both the
genres.
