		Even when genres tend to be period-specific, occurring primarily in cycles (such as film noir in the late 1940s and early 1950s, or college films in the 1930s), they are rarely exclusively confined to a particular time.
		However, some genres have been included that are necessarily limited in the period to which they can be applied, such as Chase, Trick, and Actuality films in the early years of the cinema, because they were key genres of their time.
		Genres often suggest certain subjects; a western is expected to deal with the American west, usually in the 19th century.

	Mood, Genre, and Erotica
		A mood modifies a piece of fiction and dictates your response to it, while genre defines how the piece of fiction is shaped -- it's a set of conventions and shared assumptions between the reader and the writer.
		Other conventions of the genre include copious lubrication, enormous penises, rampant randiness, and a general disregard for hygienic practices and consequences.
		Obviously, this is fluid; there are no firm boundaries where one can say "this is a mood" or "this is a genre." As conventions are established, some moods move into the genre category.

	Publishers Marketplace: Genre Hetaera
		They emerged as a vulgar morass of penny-dreadfuls, pulps, heart-pounding gothics, action adventure yarns, cliff-hanger serials, bodice rippers, and comics that appealed to the coarser human emotions, an unsophisticated under-educated mentality, and could by no means be considered contributions to the world's body of literature.
