What was the genre of the first video on YouTube?

The first video uploaded to YouTube, titled "Me at the zoo," doesn't neatly fit into a specific genre in the traditional sense. It's more of a personal video blog (vlog) or a slice-of-life type of content. In the video, Jawed Karim briefly talks about the elephants at the San Diego Zoo, commenting on their trunks. The video is more of a casual, observational recording rather than fitting into a defined genre like comedy, music, tutorial, or documentary.

Given its historical significance as the first-ever video on YouTube, it's more commonly referred to as a landmark moment in the platform's history rather than being categorized by genre.
