My genre is Beauty Instagrams that I refer to as BeautyGrams. The genre is Instagram accounts that have beauty related topics. In my Wiki, I focus on makeup. However, there are many subgenres within that wide genre. My most interesting finding is how popular Instagram is! It seems silly, but I never really realized the…
While I have not had extensive time to work on my Digital Genre Wiki, I am trying my very best! That said, my genre is the DIY in all its glory. Whether its bath bombs or home improvement, the DIY has taken the internet by storm and needs to be treated as a genre same as…
For this assignment, I’m investigating point and click games, specifically horror ones. These games vary in their ambition and quality, since most these days are indie games available in places like Steam. They’re also heavily exploration-based—after all, the only thing players can really do is “point” and “click” on their computer screen—though there are plenty…
For my genre profile project, I decided to focus on the contemporary craze of Twitter poetry. Twitter poetry is a subgenre of digital poetry (much like what Molly Aiudi talks about in her post about hypertext poetry) as well as a subgenre of a rising form of writing known as Twitterature. Twitter poetry focuses on…

Lately, I’ve become interested in mobile games as a genre, especially those revamping popular games originally designed for much different platforms. While not hastily defined elsewhere as a genre, I like to think of Nostalgic Franchise Mobile Games as a very niche and Millennial digital genre, where games that are now thought of fondly as…
The digital genre I chose for this project is visual novels. Visual novels are often considered a subgenre of video games, especially because many of them are released on video game consoles, like Nintendo DS and PS Vita, and video game distribution websites like Steam. This genre is based on traditional print novels, in particular…
Being someone who is interested in music and the world of music sharing, I took interest in the genre itself, thus leading to this project. I have found out quite a bit about a few websites that I’m sure most, if not all, of us know and love. It has also helped me to realize…
I started listening to podcasts during my first internship, which was a full-time desk job in editing for marketing. Sitting at a desk from 9-5 every day for three months was something I hadn’t been prepared for, and I had never even had a part-time job before then. It was too quiet, and I would…
The digital genre I chose to conduct my research on was Mental Health Apps: a subgenre of self-care or health apps. Mental health apps are just one of the many genres of self-care or health applications available to download on smartphones and other mobile devices. What makes them so interesting to me is how their…
