What are you thoughts what makes a genre a genre??
Is this thread more about the boundaries & distinctions of genres or more about Bruno Mars?

Well if you are talking about Bruno, Wikipedia has his genre's listed as "Pop, Reggae, Soul, R&B, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Rock." He is a Pop artist who performs songs in those styles more so than a full fledged Jazz artist etc.
