PLEX Desperately NEEDS Sub-Categories (Sub-Genre's)

Feature Suggestions

as the title says, “PLEX desperately needs sub-categories”
as everybody’s library’s continue to grow the categories (genre’s) are getting so full.
just having the ability to add these movies to a sub-genre only makes sense from a cataloguing perspective.
what’s more, from a development perspective, this is really not that hard of an addition to make happen for the overall experience.

just the HORROR category alone requires at least six sub-categories

Horror
–>Zombie
–>Slasher
–>Paranormal
–>Monsters
–>Found Footage
–>Comedy

COMEDY
–>Slapstick
–>Parody
–>Romantic Comedy
–>Action
–>Black Comedy

ACTION
–>Martial Arts
–>Superhero
–>Comedy
–>Sci-Fi

there are also more in other categories but you get the idea.
i can’t imagine anybody NOT wanting the ability to have sub genre’s… please upvote this
Please consider this for one of your next updates.

Create a new Organization Category: TOPICS (i.e. WWII, Serial Killers...)

I like the idea

There should be this or a Letterboxed List integration. There are dozens of playlists I’d like to integrate into Plex, like the sub-genres you mentioned as well as award winners, film festivals, best thrillers and so on.

Letterbox also has an API that Plex can use. There are so many people putting together great lists. I’m too lazy to do it unfortunately and managing everything manually is too time consuming
That would definitely be an enrichment.
