A genre is simply put a catagory or a section of media text such as romance action or adventure.

A genre convention are things commonly associsated with the genres for example a western genre's genre convention maybe cowboys.

The song is an alternative and indie peice this genre is known for having more irregular techniques and instruments not commonly used in mainstream music and this song clearly follows it it features 5/4 timing a syncopated drumming or multple drum loops put atop one another creating iregularity or an offbeat feeling. Though the beat and guitarline feels blissful and even has samples of children cheering though it is subverted with dark lyrics about death, disillusionment and deception.

Audiences of this song maybe for people whom like irregular music that dosent follow the form of "basic" pop music. Music critics and music enthusiast may find this song intresting and its subversations turn into a potent discussion. In terms of demographic its music video is presented in a japanese cartoon similar to works such as samchan or even doraemon which may make it attractive to children  though its subject matter dosent reflect that so this song may be best suited for teenageers to young and midlife adults from 16 - 40.
