Introducing: Interests on Web
We are excited to announce the global launch of “Interests” on the IMDb website, providing entertainment fans a new way to explore their passions and personalize their IMDb experience. Interests are single hub dedicated to a genre or subgenre to explore popular and highly rated series and movies. Using Interests you can discover the most anticipated releases, popular favorites, and watch new trailers, interviews and IMDb Original Videos. Interests for each title are listed alphabetically on the title page header first by subgenre and then by genre, and on the Popular interests widget that appears on the IMDb homepage. To see a full list of all available Interests, visit http://www.imdb.com/interest/all in your web browser. For customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, you can also search for any Interest using the Search box at the top of IMDb.com. We are working to add search capabilities to more regions soon. Adding interests is currently only available on the IMDb iOS App and the IMDb Android App. The ability to follow interests will be coming to IMDb.com at a later date. For more information about “Interests”, please review our Help Guide. Thanks as always for all your feedback – please feel free to post your questions and comments to this thread. - The IMDb Team

I really don't like that the genre and the subgenre are sticked together, I hope that in the next update you will separate the subgenre from the genre, i.e. put the subgenre in a different place because this doesn't look good at all. Also, subgenre can be a spoiler. Truly unnecessary.

The subgenre is usually listed before the genre, but not in the case of "Holiday", which is placed between genres or at the end of a line. it looks messy.

This feature is clearly a work in process and needs some straightening out around the edges, but it is a good feature. We have been crying for subgenres for 10+ years, so let's be grateful.

@Michelle , @Col_Needham Neo-Noir appears to be glaringly absent. Please consider its inclusion.

What criteria are used to determine the order in which the genres of a drama are listed? There are cases where multiple genres are listed for a single drama. What is the basis for the order in which these genres appear? For example, the drama "Sunjae Eobgo Tweeeo" is categorized under six genres: Feel-good romance, Romantic comedy, Comedy, Fantasy, Music, and Romance.

It is odd that even this expanded field still only displays three of the main genres when the title has more than three genres.

This title for example has 15 genres and subgenres, 8 subgenres and 2 genres (Animation and Biography) are at the top of the page, but there are also 5 genres in section at the middle of page. So, if you want to find that this is a documentary, you need to scroll down. Documentary as a genre should be placed at the top, as first genre (before any subgenre), not alphabetically. This concept makes things very confusing

Please add Screenlife as an available subgenre. The closest is Found Footage Horror, but Screenlife films are in a category of their own. Thanks! Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled "Screenlife" missing from subgenre list

How do you search for subgenres like 'Dark Fantasy' in Advanced Title Search (https://www.imdb.com/search/title)? Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Search for subgenres?

Maybe interests that are displayed on a series page based on the keywords on the series level should also be displayed on the episode pages? Or do you wish for subgenre keywords to be added to each episode? Genres can only be added to the series, but are displayed on all episode pages.

I noticed recently that the genre category "tragedy" was added on a number of films. Is it possible to remove this OR give an option to hide this? In many cases these are movies where the main character dies. And given that that isn't always known going into it, it's like an instantaneous spoiler. More than once now I have watched a film after looking it up on here and spent the entire duration knowing the plot would lead to a tragic ending, that otherwise would've been surprising, or at the very least, an uncertain conclusion. Please consider toggling or removing this. Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled "Tragedy" genre for films

A movie or TV Show basically have one or few main genres. However, for quite some time, there are many extra genre tags that should be keywords or listed separately are listed in the main genre section of a film. This is not only feeding unnecessary information but gets hard to filter out main genres in some titles. For example: Here the main genre should be horror, fantasy, mystery (according to how old IMDb worked) but not there are three extra genre tags. While helpful in some cases, but they can have other section like before how it used to? I don't remember for what TV series or Movie there were more than 10 tags associated with it. I will try to list it if I find it again. (Game of thrones and LOTR foe example have many extra tags like swords and sorcery.) What was the reason for this change?
