Lord, I wish a genre would hurry up and pick me. I try to describe my WIP and it turns out like, "Philosophical science fiction with a dash of high fantasy elements" when I'm being serious and, "Capitalism plus Gossip Girl-esque trash" when I'm not.
Disclaimer: I love Gossip Girl.
But I think what ends up happening a lot of the time is that people write themselves into the genres they like or want to be in. I highly doubt we inherently gravitate toward one genre. It's just a matter of "acting appropriate" as writers, or something. Dunno.
