Hi Alf! This isn't a classification of anyone (and I'm Canadian) It's just an added option. Some people want and work towards having their art style fit into a certain category, just like music :) you know, classical, jazz, blues etc... Well, this "genre" thingy is the same as that. If you want to be known for abstract, fantasy, realism etc for searches then using the genre option would help you get put into the search data. Sipapu and I were teasing each other in the thread above as we are both pretty new to 3D art and neither of us feel the "art world" has a category for our non-styles (grin). We don't feel "classified" in the slightest!
