The Journey of Genres

If you are to take a walk down history lane, you will find out that by the end of the Silent Era, some of the main genres were already fully established, including comedy, westerns, horror, action-adventure, and the melodrama. The musical genre came into existence with the ‘era of the Talkies’, while the genre of science-fiction or ‘sci-fi’ gained popularity by the time the 1950s rolled around.
