    Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “genre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.

      I think the word genre comes directly from the french word (“genre”, meaning “type”), which in the plural form is “genres”. I don’t think “genera” means anything, it’s probably a typo

        “Genera” is a plural form of “genus” (i.e. also “type,” but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).
