Here's how this works: the thread starts with someone naming a genre, such as science-fiction or fantasy, and the next person names a more specific sub-genre, such as space opera or high fantasy. You could also make up genres of your own, like . . . lo-fi sci-fi, and give an explanation of what it is, if you'd like (such as calm sci-fi with something a little quirky about it). Also name another general genre for the following person to specify.
Dystopian Memoir - person with inflated sense of self, and allusions of grandeur decides to write a loosely fictional memoir about the problems in their life. It is a dystopia to the narrator, but to everyone else it is just life.

SOLAR PUNK ROMANCE - a couple of environmental activists fall in love because they bonded over innovative recycling techniques and renewable energy. I think Wall-E might actually fall under this genre?

Ballet Steampunk - retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by traditional ballet costumes, tutus, and pointe shoes, in addition to, 19th-century industrial ballet-powered machinery; not to be confused with the similar but different genres of Hip-Hop Steampunk and Ballroom Steampunk

I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth. — Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
