genre-defining和genre-breaking怎么理解比较好?
语境：
But they,moving and talking and starring and sharing and making fan art and packing paperbacks in their pocketbooks,have helped create a space where girls who fight and feel things are not genre-breaking but genre-defining elements.

可以这么理
not genre-breaking but genre-defining elements：（她们）并不是不伦不类而是流派鲜明的元素.
整体翻译：
但是,她们或动或谈或表演或分享,或制作粉丝作品（同人作品）,或在手袋中装入硬皮书籍,此等种种行为帮助她们创造了一个空间,在其中她们并非不伦不类而是形成流派的一员.
