There are two types of genre: the term that means "gender" in English and the slang version, which is slightly more complicated. When used as slang, genre can most often be translated into "like" in English. When used this way, genre - like "like" - is neither adding any value to the sentence or necessary for the sentence to make sense. Il n'avait genre aucun respect pour moi - He had, like, no respect for me. Another way of using genre is through the expression faire genre, or pretend to do something.
