Talk:Fusion (music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Fusion

The only "fusion" music we were aware before the "biggest hoax ever" appeared on the Earth was the genre that is known as Jazz-fusion. Later, during the 1990s, the term crossover was used to refer to several acts that, mainly in USA, crossed the styles of grunge and hip-hop. In my humble opinion, these stories regarding fusion genres, derivative forms, sub-genres, and blabla.. are merely original research and were invented by some Wikipedia editors or web hackers-suckers. I could be wrong, but it is a sensitive article, that influences dozens of templates and hundreds articles, so, please provide serious offline sources, preferably books that anyone can buy or seek for. --Doktor Who 01:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Nah. Fusion as a term in general is derived from jazz fusion, and originally it was just an abbreviation. As fusion moved away from jazz, the term adapted to refer to any "fusion" music. Crossover refers to something else entirely. The bands you refer to are called nu metal or rapcore, both fusion genres. Eh? ~ Switch (✉✍☺) 10:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Nah? You are saying almost the same, so what "nah"?  :) The term fusion never moved away from jazz, btw.Doktor Who 16:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Fusion is jazz fusion. You say fusion and people don't think "a fusion genre? fusion of what?", they know you're talking about jazz+rock. Get rid of this stupid list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 19:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
