it's not that complicated, game genres are like every other kind of classification, you have general genres that are too low resolution to be useful (stuff like "shooters") and then you have subgenres that allow you to narrow definitions down (fps, tps, rail shooter, bullet hell, twin stick, shooting gallery etc)

think of it like taxonomy in biology: you've got order, family, genus, species, and everytime you get down a rank it becomes more precise and more exclusive
