In 2000, Max Bernis formed the American rock band Say Anything together with some friends. Up until 2018, when the band went on a hiatus, they released eight studio albums. In 2007 they released their third studio album In Defense of the Genre. Bernis mentioned on the album that “musically, it’s different, more mature and somewhat more cohesive and poppy, but darker in a whole different way”.

The album features 23 individual guest appearances, including Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance), Pete Yorn, Anna Waronker (That Dog), Adam Lazzara (Talking Back Sunday), Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost), Matt Skiba (Blink-182, Alkaline Trio) and Haylay Williams (Paramore) amongst others.

The cover art was designed by Jeff Smith, who is best known as the creator of the comic book series Bone.

In Defense of the Genre is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on smoke coloured vinyl. This 2LP is housed in a gatefold sleeve and includes a 4-page booklet with lyrics.
