Please run this sample code. This may help you

for($i=0; $i<4; $i++)  { ?>
 <div class="box22">
      <div class="mcm">
           <input type="text" placeholder="Myself" id="coworkers" name="coworkers<?php echo$i?>[]" />
           <span class="bar"></span>

           <?php
           foreach($genre as $key => $gen){
                echo '<option value='.$key.'>'.$gen.'</option>';

        e.preventDefault();
        var form = $(this);
        var foo = [];
        $('.category :selected').each(function(i, selected){
          foo[i] = $(selected).text();

change text to val()

 $('option:selected').each(function(i, selected){
              foo.push($(selected).val());
            });

or:

var foo = [];
$('.box22').each(function(x,v){
var temp =[]
     $(v).find('option:selected').each(function(i, selected){
        temp.push($(selected).val());
     });
     foo.push(temp)
});

see demo for the second option here

Using the .val() function on a multi-select list will return an array of the selected values:

var selectedValues = $('#category').val();

And in your html <select id="category" multiple="multiple">

Also put the values of the $gen->genre_id in a variable and so like this 

foreach($genre as $gen){
$genId = $gen->genre_id;
$genName = $gen->genre_name;
            echo '<option value='.$genId.'>'.$genName.'</option>';
       }

Also <select id="category" in a forloop will have many select elements with the same id,change that to category[$i] or use class
