No, the genre is based around Romance.

Does it mix elements of high and low culture?
The use of the Low Culture in our product shows we can celebrate this with out the use of contrasting this with the High Culture. In our product the Low Culture is presented through the idea of our main character using the public transport and the concert attended.

However it is still something to be celebrated in the eyes of the post-modernists.

Is its style more important than its substance?
