Captured Thought: Am I A Genre?

This morning I was listening to the radio, NPR, of course, and on came a man who's about to release a movie about a middle-aged man dealing with his life's problems, including being left by his wife and daughter, by reconstructing New York city and his life in model form. The movie's title is a fancy word basically meaning a symbol or metaphor that can be used on both a local and global level. The example they gave was "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."
In any case, the interviewer the host of the show called The Host's Name's Weekend, asked the famous movie maker, formerly a writer trying out directing, whether or not he was aware that other movies made in his style were being named after him, and are being considered an independent genre.
The writer/director answered that he really didn't consider his work and that modeled after it to be a genre so much as his work continuing to possess the trademarks of his personality and style, and that being a consequence of his concerns and values, not so much a deliberate effort to reproduce movies in the same model.
This got me thinking. Obviously, I'm not influential enough to have people outside of my immediate circle to consider any type of action or thought "Mitchel-esque," but what if I was, or more realistically, what if, in a post-modern twist, things that I did consistently or uniquely were packaged up, and used on some grander scale, to characterize a "Mitchel-esque" style of thinking or living or being. It's a bit heady to think that someone could be innovative, interesting, or important enough that they would be sucked up and their traits labeled, but clearly the instance of this writer/director shows that there is still room for innovation, and for that innovation to be modeled, in this cluttered world.
On a purely personal level, I wonder if I could be called a genre. Not whether or not my life would fit into "coming of age movies," but whether I'm predicatable and formulaic enough to be replicated. I probably am. In fact, I'm probably following a model right now.
So much for being a genre, now the question is can I break out of one?
