**I think the word you’re looking for is “idiom,” not “genre.” The “genre” in this case is liturgical mushc.

The “idiom” is pop-rock.**

I don’t speak Tagalog, but I remember the more traditional style of this being sung for Filipino masses I attended with my family when visiting the Filipino side of my relatives here in the States.

I would agree that it would be called an “idiom” aka “style” of music, but I would also say that it is a style from the pop genre - not a style of liturgical music “genre” - which isn’t usually considered a genre. Music genres are usually separated into categories and then further segregated into subgenres. Some of these genres will overlap each other and there are sometimes debates on what is a genre all on its own and what is not.

The term “Liturgical Music”, in general, is not usually considered a “genre”. It’s something that stands apart. Although certain liturgical music have taken various “genres” and “sub-genres” that didn’t grow organically from the basis of western art music which started in chant - a form that could be and has been argued as a genre unto itself. Much of contemporary Catholic liturgical music (not “contemporary” in terms of 20th c. western art music) takes from those various styles within the genres of folk and pop.

But I guess, this can all be a question of semantics. 🙂
