Crossover

Crossover music emerged in the late 1980s as a cheeky little mishmash, where different genres—often rock and hip hop—decided to have a jolly good time together. It's characterised by unexpected blends, meaning you might find a guitar solo in a hip hop track or rapping over a heavy metal riff, leaving purists scrambling for their fainting couches. This genre proved that musical boundaries are merely suggestions, and it's the ultimate proof that sometimes, two wrongs can make a right, or at least an earworm.
