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 fucking hate the word trope
Siren noises and airhorns and generally post-ironic soundboard noises. Like remember DJs in the early 2000s? When the radio sounded like
(Tires screeching) Husky overly excited voice: you’re listening (Siren blaring) To the one and only (Red tailed hawk screech) (Machine gun noises) 97.4 (Dog barking) (mgm lion roar) KZRL “Krazy” FM (Choir sings hallelujah) Your one-stop-shop for hits from the 70s and 80s (Chorus from “don’t you forget about me” plays) (Guitar solo from Panama)
All those stupid noises are great when they get shoved into mid 2010s dubstep music, and when they are put into SoundCloud mashups.
I like it when the vocalist announces what’s coming next, like yelling “GUITAR!” right before a guitar solo or “bring back the horns” right before the brass section kicks in or “sing it, girls” right before the female backups echo the refrain.
I don’t know how to describe it or have the music theory knowledge to understand why it’s so satisfying, but the outro for Tank! (Cowboy Bebop opening song) is just so good and I can’t explain it.

Multiple lines of a song being one sentence, with the candence carrying it through the lines. Eg. Snowman by Sia.
