For musicians who play multiple, disparate musical styles ''without'' mixing the styles together, see [[Genre Roulette]].

Line 29:
*** "Caribbean rhythms" means calypso, itself the result of West African ritual music wedded to Christian slave music.
**** And then there's reggae: a handy way to skank up any song by accenting the off-beat.
* Funk metal, funk rock, funk punk...let's just say that [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Indexes|everything's better with]] [[Funk]].
* A subtrope of this is "Ethnic Punk":
** Celtic punk, which combines punk rock with Scottish, Irish and occasionally Welsh or Breton folk. Pioneered by Anglo-Irish group The Pogues and popularised by groups like Dropkick Murphys and [[Flogging Molly]].
Line 45:
* Christian black metal. Wait... black metal?
** Also known as ''White'' metal...
*** Formerly known as '''''Un''black''' metal, a term now used mostly perjoratively by trve black metal fans and artists. Just to drive home how out of place it really is: In the early 90's, ''church burnings'' were considered an acceptable way to earn respect in the Norwegian black metal scene. Murder, suicide, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|spikey shin guards and absurd facepaint]] all happened as well. To go along with that, the lyrics are frequently generally anti-religious and misanthropic, specifically anti-Christian, Satanic, nihilistic, atheistic, and pro-neopaganist. For most of this and more distilled into one band, read up on [[Mayhem]].
* [http://www.flamenco-world.com/magazine/about/jazz_flamenco/jazz.htm Flamenco jazz].
* "Mathcore" takes two things that seem by very nature to be contradictory [[Three Chords and The Truth|Hardcore]] and [[Epic Rocking|Progressive/Avantgarde metal]]. Throw in some [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Jazz Fusion and Blues influence as well as maybe some electronic bits]] and you've got an noisy, spastic and downright crazed sound of music.
Line 255:
* Deerhunter call themselves "ambient punk" (?) and sound like neo-[[Shoegazing|Shoegaze]]/indie rock/trippy weirdness ([[Genre Roulette|varying wildly]] from one track to the next).
* [[Mindless Self Indulgence]] refer to their genre as "Industrial Jungle Pussy Punk." It's as close to accurate an adjective you'll find for it.
* Singer-songwriter Michael Gira's first (and current<ref>Reformed with a new line-up in early 2010; have another album in the pipes.</ref>) band Swans. Each album essentially has its own genre distinction, the most inexplicable being their first (1982's ''Filth'') and "last" (1997's ''Soundtracks For The Blind''). The latter, in particular, has no sense of genre distinction whatsoever and is best described as a 150-minute sonic [[Mind Screw]] (see [[Hell Is That Noise]], [[Last -Note Nightmare]], [[Lyrical Dissonance]]...). To many, proof that [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]; [[Your Mileage May Vary|to some]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|proof that Michael Gira is God]]. Whichever.
** This trope is applicable to all of Michael Gira's projects, as well as almost everyone he's been associated with. Look at Akron/Family. Or David Coulter. Hell, Fire On Fire...
* The Style Council. Just the Style Council
Line 296:
* [[Enter Shikari]] embodies this trope perfectly. Get post-hardcore, stick a load of electronica in, add a twist of metal, flavour with dubstep and such as needed.
* Electric Six. Disco, metal, funk, garage rock, New Wave and lyrics based chiefly around sex, drugs, dancing and FIRE.
* Rolo Tomassi. You got your mathcore, your acid jazz, your experimental rock, your 8-bit Nintendo synths, your grindcore and your [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]] singing styles both coming from ''the same girl.''
** Perhaps their music could be termed "dreamgrind"
* Streetlight Manifesto mix ska, punk, acoustic, big band, funk and hardcore. Fans of Streetlight Manifesto, and frontman Tomas Kalnoky's side project Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution (another genre-splicer, fusing acoustic, ska and Middle-Eastern influences), sometimes refer to this as "the fourth wave of ska".
