I'll try my best to present my mindset on the subject. Crossover,
fusion and eclectic are not favorable terms in my musical world. I grew
up with classical music then turned to hard rock until my mid-30's. At
that point, I decided to give up rock entirely and concentrate on classical
music and going back to my roots. I didn't give up rock to move toward
crossover, fusion or anything along those lines. I simply have no
interest in those routes, being more than very busy just staying
up-to-date with the music I love.
Also, as another poster mentioned, these "hybrid" forms that spring up
from time to time are usually contrived attempts to garner a greater
audience and are doomed to artistic/creative failure.
