[ CREATOR CULTURE ][ ATTENTION ECONOMY ]
A creative work that combines two or more existing pieces of media — usually songs, but also video or images — into a single new piece, relying on the unexpected combination itself for its appeal.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"That mashup shouldn't work at all, and somehow it's perfect."
LORE & ORIGIN
A music-culture term generalized across other media once combining unrelated existing sources became a common creative technique well beyond audio.
