New genre, and it's put at risk (8)
I believe the answer is:
endanger
'put at risk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'new genre and' is the wordplay.
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'genre'+'and'='genreand'
'genreand' anagrammed gives 'ENDANGER'.
'it's' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for endanger that I've seen before include "Place into peril, jeopardise" , "Jeopardize" , "Put in peril" , "Hazard" , "Put someone at risk" .)
