I cut out the ones that had declined less than science fiction. I didn't have to cut much out. Should we ask if Action/Adventure is dying? Romance? Religion?
Those genres aren't quite as prone to hysterics and catfights as SF.

(Do note that the panic is over multi-year drops in the "official" numbers,not just the 2014 drop.)
