A generic question is usually a question which is very plain in nature or very common.  Most people know the answers to generic questions using common sense, and general knowledge.  It usually implies that less though and creativity was used to come up with a generic question.  An example of a generic question is "why is it so hot outside?" or "why us the sky blue?"
