 Genre is a category of media text based on a common theme. 

This is a 'wordle' of genres and sub-genres of music. 

This research allowed me to see that there are no magazines out there currently on the genre of disco. This is what gave me an idea to do something new, yet old, and hopefully create a further interest in disco.
