Music has been around since the creation of man and different sounds were compiled into musical pleasure. Over time it's developed into whatever the current generation most appeals to, with constant changing of media and social interested, as quickly as a "viral video" can spread, that's how quickly the musical taste can change for the current generation.
Kelis, "Like You" (using Mozart's The Magic Flute).

Kelis is able to bridge the generation gap between modern girl-pop artists like Rihanna and classical artists like Beethoven or Mozart, in W.A. Mozart - Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute). While Kelis appeals to the pop artists, Spike T Jones, a raper who found his recordings through Beat Boutique 2010,
Spike T. Jones - A Fifth of Beethoven (Hip Hop Instrumental Mix).

Is another great classical-rap mix-up or mash-up. It's like taking two records, a classical record, and a rap record recording, and you play them the same time at the right times, that they mesh well together into a coherent song. It's not everyone's favorite genre, but it's the way out generation explores our musical creativity; the mix is a strange, but a lovely blend of two generations melding into an appreciable song for both generations, bridging the gap, (Though, it doesn't mean you'll immediately want to listen to rap, or classical, baby steps)

And in case you think I forgot the title of this blog is, "Modern music" here's a band that didn't necessarily mix tracks of classical and rap or pop music, but the music is a hybrid, a breed of rock and punk and rap, like Beastie Boys - Sabatoge.
Many would say, simliarly, that Nirvana was the staple of a new area of music, the changing of a generation of music. It's exciting to keep up with new and fresh music to see what's developing around the world from all cultures. Share it.
