Genre Porn - a definition
I am calling out a new meme. It is made possible by the saturation of information available now.
Genre Porn: a highly saturated, "over the top" example of a "style", "category" or "kind", where the form, technique, content, subject mater, tone or theme are exploited to the fullest extent possible with current technology or creation methods.
In order for Genre Porn to work properly, there needs to be a large number of existing examples of that genre to combine for full effect.
One example of Genre Porn is the upcoming Tarantino/Rodriguez film "Grindhouse".
Other examples are cable channels such as "The Food Network".
