The adjective generic may indicate:

  • Very comprehensive; pertaining or appropriate to large classes or groups as opposed to specific.

"...the essence is that such self-describing poets describe what is in them, but not peculiar to them, – what is generic, not what is special and individual." — Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
