Yes. Feel the same about genre film, really. Genre is a 20th century concept, and became outdated as a aesthetic/narrative model. Only mainstream media (films, popular literature, tv) use it, and mostly to create an easy (i.e. lazy) commercial awareness for their products, it seems.

I was thinking about M John Harrison’s booker when I found the Speculative Reader YT video, actually. My view on this is that, finally, mainstream audiences are getting to know something far better than the slop that inundated the market in the last 10 or so years!

checked Hiron Ennes, @AbouBenAdhem seems really interesting!
