What are genre conventions?
Genre conventions are the defining aspects of any genre or subgenre.
A genre convention is a typical or standard plot,
character, setting, theme, or effect in a genre story. For example, in a Western it is conventional to have the heroes wear white
hats and the villains wear black hats or in the
superhero genre, it is a convention to have the characters wear costumes. However, if these conventions get over used they can become cliche.
