I'm talking about current use in literary genre, not a google images search. If you do a google images search for "thriller" you mostly get photos of Michael Jackson. That dosn't mean that all literary thrillers are about him.

Moreover, the author's primary concern should be to get found, so the work should be listed where the target audience will look for it.
