Salience

The degree to which an audience recognizes the formal criteria of a genre; parody, satire, or subversion is one measure of this degree. When genre features are widely and easily recognized, or have salience, the genre can be "exploited by genre users with covert goals. . . . Genre salience is indicated by genre abusability" (Puschmann, 2009, p. 51).

Example: 

Puschmann's discussion centers on the corporate weblog that "systematically replicates the characteristics of typical personal blogs" in order to advance its agenda as seemingly spontaneously consumer-generated (2009, p. 51).
