when did they stop using film noir as a genre


was it right at 1960??

Around that time or a little later, 1961 or 1962. It's funny you mention the year 1960 since there are some who cite 'PSYCHO' as the final nail in the coffin for the classical Hollywood film noir since that film took a lot of the tropes associated with it and then just discarded them halfway.
