Generic keywords are searchable or identifiable words that have meanings that have a relatively wide scope. Generic keywords tend to produce a relatively large number of matches and tend to have a higher cost. Generic keywords can have a much lower conversion rate due to their wide scope of meaning.
whereas
Long-tail keywords are longer and more specific keyword phrases that visitors are more likely to use when they're closer to a point-of-purchase. They're a little bit counter-intuitive, at first, but they can be hugely valuable if you know how to use them.

Those keywords which is popular and have huge traffic, people search mostly these keywords on the web are generic keyword, when you start creating back links for such keywords then your website rank will take time to get up on the SERP, but the idea when you add prefix or suffix to such keywords and make it a long tail keyword will help to get traffic for such keyword.

If you have a website or blog, you know the importance of using keywords. It’s almost like a life or death situation in regards to your site: have generic keywords and risk your website dying from lack of traffic. On the other hand, have long tail keywords and bring life – lots of traffic – to your website.
