Hybrid Theory
One form of music theory, similar to harmonic theory, which insists that by combining two opposing genres of music, the resulting music contains the strengths of both genres, and makes up for the weaknesses of each individual genre.
-Linkin Park's album "Hybrid Theory" mixes primarily the two music genres of Rock and Rap. The album uses Rock to fill in the harmonic and melodic gaps which traditional Rap songs have, while using Rap to employ more unique beats and allowing for more complicated lyrics.
-Daft Punk's "Tron: Legacy" mixes primarily the two genres of Electronic and Classical. The Album uses Classical to deeply inspire emotion in the audience that could not be achieved by any other genre, while the Electronic genre makes the music much more exciting and upbeat to make the classical music much less boring.
-Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon,” mixes primarily the two genres of Rock and Jazz. The Jazz in the album allows for much more expressive instrumental solos and a groovier sound, while the Rock makes the Jazz tolerable to listen to. The result of mixing Jazz and Rock is a psychedelic sound.
