Worst Combinations of Music Genres
Although I like jazz, the two together are worse than pop on its own. The rhythm, drumming, and layout mostly come from pop, while some girl meows in a hoarse voice, and a man is playing random notes on a saxophone, and someone is rolling his elbow on a piano. Not to mention that both pop and jazz lyrics are already weak on their own.
A genre based on American and one based on Jamaican folk music together? You should just add some sitar, bagpipe, pan flute, steel drums, and balalaika to complete the picture.
Prog - Musically complex with many themes surrounding its structure.
Hip Hop - Musically repetitive with common themes surrounding its structure.
Yeah, try combining those two. Doesn't work, does it?
I agree that disco goes with rock - "I Was Made For Lovin' You" by Kiss is basically a disco song made hard rock style. I would add that surprisingly, disco also goes with metal, judging by some metal covers of disco songs.
Disco goes surprisingly well with some genres: Blue Öyster Cult's self-titled song is a great example of disco and rock together.
Jazz has two layers: popular jazz and instrumental (more technical) jazz. Popular jazz doesn't go with metal, but elements from instrumental (technical) jazz are used in metal, mostly in progressive metal (especially technical death metal and progressive death metal). I think it's an interesting experiment, but some results are better than others.
Some metal bands just incorporated jazz better, and I don't mind this combination when it's done well. I made a list about it - Top 10 Metal Songs with Jazz Influences
It usually remains alternative rock.
By Christian, I mean religious songs sung in the church. Nowadays it is a fashion to sing pop songs about God in the church, but why?
Together, I call it "great-grandma music".
There's a metal cover of "Havana" with disco elements.
That's a good question. It could work if Napalm Death collaborated with Ella Mai on an album.
The main example of it is the song "Norwegian Reggaeton" by Nanowar of Steel. I heard this song. Then metal and reggaeton don't mix, just like rap and country.
I put it in last place because I think it doesn't exist. But imagine if it did...
