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.

Yeah, Stairway is another great example.

Aqualung does it well, too.

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

Stone Cold Metal by Ensiferum does that as well
