* Music/{{Paramore}}'s substantial fanbase within the African-American community has [[https://www.nylon.com/articles/black-people-loving-paramore been noted]] by [[https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5pyx9/how-paramore-captured-hearts-black-fans many writers,]] especially given that PopPunk was at the time known as a genre dominated by White teenagers. In the late 2010s and early '20s, many Black musicians like Music/LilUziVert, Music/RicoNasty, and Princess Nokia cited Paramore as a direct influence on their style. A commonly-cited explanation is that the band's members were both clean-cut Christians from the South who didn't use "hard" swear words in their songs (their frontwoman Hayley Williams was a church choir girl and part of a short-lived [[ChristianRock Christian pop]] group called Music/MammothCityMessengers) and also politically and culturally progressive, meaning that their music wasn't offensive from either an obscenity standpoint or a political/racial one and thus passed muster with their parents in ways that many other White rock bands didn't. From there, Paramore's {{emo}}-flavored lyrics about not fitting in resonated with many Black youth, especially those who had been raised in close proximity to White culture. Williams is fully aware of her Black fandom, and discussed it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At1GaTIYy7w an interview]] with Sequoia Holmes, the host of a podcast called -- fittingly enough -- ''Black People Love Paramore'' that's about this trope more broadly within the Black community.

* Long before it became common for pop singers to get followings in the indie scene, Music/JustinTimberlake and especially his breakthrough solo album ''[=FutureSex/LoveSounds=]'' was extremely popular among hipsters who would normally never listen to pop or R&B. Website/FourChan's music board /mu/, which is stereotypically the most hipster-y place on the internet, even included it on their Essential Albums list.

* Latino rap group Music/CypressHill has a surprisingly large fanbase with rock audiences who don't normally listen to hip-hop[[note]]This is likely because many (if not most) of their songs are about cannabis, something [[Main/TheStoner that's definitely not exclusive to Latinos or rappers]][[/note]]. This audience was eventually one of the reasons they experimented with RapRock and RapMetal in their later albums.

** Ditto for the HardcorePunk and HeavyMetal (specifically ThrashMetal) fans.

* Music/AlterBridge were originally marketed towards teenagers, much like the band they were spawned from, Music/{{Creed}}. However, their biggest audience is among older classic rock fans, who've noticed the heavy influence from 70s rock bands. In addition, Alter Bridge won over many of Creed's detractors, mainly because of the difference in vocal style between Myles Kennedy and Scott Stapp, as well as the more classic rock-influenced sound.

* Music/{{Evanescence}} were initially marketed towards male ''and'' female rock fans, but amassed a large following of pop music fans, goth kids and {{Emo Teen}}s at their peak. It helps that they happened to have a female singer[=/=]FaceOfTheBand, along with a "goth" image, and their biggest hit was "Bring Me to Life", oft name-dropped as a stereotypical "emo" song.

* While Music/TinaTurner was a respected music legend all around the world and across several demographics, her song "Nutbush City Limits" holds a particular reverence in Australia. In the 70's, a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IpqOn-XsXk line dance]] was developed based on the song which has since become a staple of Australian culture, to the point that kids are taught "the Nutbush" at school and it's regularly played at wedding receptions and other social functions across the country, not unlike the Electric Slide in the US. Many Aussies have joked that learning (and demonstrating) the Nutbush should required for immigrants seeking Australian citizenship. Interestingly, when the song was performed on ''Series/{{Glee}}'', many Aussie viewers were confused that the characters weren't doing the dance, but the Nutbush is virtually unheard of outside Australia, even in the United States where the song originated.
