To help niche genres like jazz and world music break through via popular music’s cultural fusion trend: First, blend their unique elements (e.g., jazz’s improvisation, world music’s ethnic instruments) with mainstream pop/electronic frameworks—like a jazz track using pop’s catchy chorus. Second, collaborate with mainstream artists; a jazz musician featuring in a pop star’s song can expose their style to wider audiences. Third, leverage short-video platforms: share snippets that highlight niche charm (e.g., a world music drum solo) to spark curiosity, guiding listeners to explore full works. This balances authenticity and accessibility, avoiding marginalization.
