Can be from any genre. Mine is when an acoustic guitar comes in towards the end of a song and totally changes or reframes the mood/energy (see "Money" by Widowspeak)

I love songs that completely change genre partway through. Can be slow acoustic songs that switch to fast techno; loud, bangy songs that turn calm and soft; rap songs with calm, piano-based choruses; whatever.

Examples would be:

Don't forget Bohemian Rhapsody, the all-time king of this niche.

God yes, using changing genres to tell a story in your music is such a power move

Here is a song I think you are going to LOVE: Set to Stun - Walk Tall II

Scaretale by Nightwish and Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold are both all over the place in terms of genre.

Little Piece Of Heaven is the Bohemian Rhapsody of metal, I love it.
