There a few ways to implement a similar solution.

Firstly using a filter called Genre.

Second method is to create Collections in Genre Titles like below.

I didnt know any of these solutions tbh they do look pretty interesting though I would of liked something nicer looking tbh I like the way the folders look but can you put a custon image for them?

I would suggest no, but check if there a requested Feature.

The easiest: Filter Genre

The most drilled down: Tailored Collections

Depending on the OS you run plex on -

This will help you generate a myriad of custom collections that can be automatically updated -
