Most genres can be classified into category by its codes convention a few example of genres are horror, comedy, romance and so on.

Teen drama is a drama fully based around teenagers as the main focus. The genre became mostly popular is 1990s from the popularity of the Fox Series Beverly Hills, 90120. After this sky rocketed in popularity most films have a connection with teen drama usually introduced with other sub-categories

Conclusion

As you can see there is a difference in the credit orders and there is less people to credit in the independent film comparison to the mainstream film like mean girls this is usually entirely based on the 'budget'. Since the mainstream films have large budget they're capable of hiring big name actresses/actors, better specialize crew and many more other people that maybe involved in the film making process. On the other hand, we have a independent film these usually have smaller budgets and more sponsors/investors to accumulate more funding for the film. A Independent film is usually just the opposite of mainstreams they have a small budgets meaning less specialized crew, less big name actress/actors so overall smaller everything.
