Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Difference between revisions

Line 331:
* This trope can be applied to food as well as to music. The (fraternal, not identical) twin Louisiana styles of Creole and Cajun cooking can be described as French/Spanish/African/Native American/Caribbean.
* "Fusion" cuisine in general tends to be this trope. Not so much when it involves related styles (eg. Chinese/Korean); but many forms incorporate multiple completely unrelated cuisines.
* Although not a full genre or a full band example, the Pogues in concert brought [[The Specials (band)|Lynval Golding]] up onstage to play [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7QL_PDC5XM "A Message To You, Rudy" in a Celtic Ska style]
* Fictional example from ''[[Daisy Owl]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20130205143529/http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-12-04 ElectroFolk ClassicAlt is pretty cutting edge.]
* Delhi 2 Dublin is a band that mixes traditional Indian music (sitars and the like) with Celtic fiddles and whistles, and filters the lot through a little bit of techno.
* A fictional example: the Kabbage Boy in ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' are a "Second Wave of American Tween Melodic Rap Metalcore" [[Boy Band]].
* [[Seattle]] over Memorial Day weekend hosts the Folklife Festival (the largest folk and eclectic music festival in the US that's still free admission). Expect a lot of experimental bands and equally experimental descriptions in the guidebook. It's not uncommon for one to find sea chanties rendered in chiptune or bagpipe and steel drum covers of Beatles songs.
 
== Examples in Fiction ==
=== Live-Action TV ===
* Another fictional example, probably: Although we never ''hear'' it, Rastabilly Skank in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' sounds like it ''should'' be a cross between reggae, rockabilly and ska punk.
** It's a rare genre, but "Skabilly" fits that description.
 
=== Radio ===
* In one segment of the [[NPR]] radio-show ''[[This American Life]]'' entitled "By the Numbers", host Ira Glass commissioned a song combining the most-hated musical elements as voted by the public - it featured, among other things, an opera singer rapping a cowboy song accompanied by a tuba and a children's chior singing about Labor Day!!! [[Springtime for Hitler|AND IT'S AWESOME]]

* [[Ridiculously Human Robot|Querty's and]] [[Mad Scientist|Dvorak's]] music experiments from ''[[Freefall]]'' include ''Cyber Rap'', ''Cyber Rap and the Digital Symphony Orchestra'' and ''Epic Rap Yodeling Operas''. Oh, and ''Orbital Bombardment in D minor''.
