Changes for the better May 23, 2005 8 out of 11 found this review helpful
GENRE has taken a turn for the funny. There is no writing for writing's sake any more. The new team there has given it a hipper, savvier vibe. Plus there are freakin hot guys on the cover and throughout the magazine!
GENRE is the best gay magazine in the US July 15, 2004 12 out of 19 found this review helpful
Genre recently changed its logo and its editors. As a result, the magazine has improved 110%! Really interesting celebrity stories, a good mix of CD, movie and book reviews, lots of home product stuff, etc. The covers are HOT too. All in all, this magazine far surpasses OUT or Instinct as the only sophisticated, smart choice for gay male readers.
Awesome mag January 15, 2007 6 out of 10 found this review helpful
The new editor has really turned this puppy around. Great copy and great pics make for a great mag.
Niche magazine that is too generic to be good March 13, 2003 48 out of 55 found this review helpful
Genre just isn't anything special. It is not too unlike GQ or Vanity Fair to be able to call itself a niche magazine. It seems to be trying to go for the same audience that XY magazine does, but not as well. Is it intending to be informative and probing or just informative and fluffy?It is typical of any magazine out there though - FULL OF ADVERTISEMENTS! It may be the adverts that make this mag different from some others, because they tend toward being gay male related/targeted. It would be great to see a magazine of this nature actually do some good editorial work critical of the community rather than just pander to it. It would be nice to see a sporting section (not all [gays] are sissies, you know) and a home section that doesn't assume that every [gay] is a millionaire. How about an ongoing section on how to successfully meet other guys OUTSIDE of the bar scene. This just isn't anything unique. It will make it for a while, but it probably won't make it the long run.
I'm letting my subscription run out May 20, 2004 25 out of 27 found this review helpful
The quality was never that good. It's always been a fluff magazine. Now, it has become worse! Irreverent information and gratuitiously half-dressed young men fill up this magazine. The articles are obviously written by amateurs and cover topics that NO ONE cares about. I'm not being facetious. I'm expressing my feelings on how the quality (or lack of) has decreased even further as the years have progressed.
