Jazz Rap
For every well-known musical fusion, there are many others with small followings.  For instance, fans of jazz and rap no longer to keep those tastes exclusive because of jazz rap.  It started as an endeavor to bring the past and present of African-American music together and to give a positive alternative to aggressive gangsta rap.

following：追隨者
instance：例子（=example）
exclusive：唯一的、排它的
endeavor：努力
aggressive：好鬥的、挑釁的
gangsta rap：幫派饒舌樂

Glitch
Electronic music has perhaps been experimented with more than most other styles, creating lasting hits while also causing confusion, as the glitch genre tends to do.  Glitch does not mix two styles of music as much as it adds noises music.  Glitch musicians often damage electronic instruments and equipments until they barely work, than play them to achieve the desired sound.

experiment：實驗
tend：傾向、走向
damage：損害、損失
barely：幾乎不能

Nintendocore
This style integrates electronic music as well, specifically the sound of early Nintendo video game music.  However, tunes like those from Super Mario Brothers are played in a heavy metal style, sometimes with a singer screaming lyrics over them.

integrate：結合、整合、合併
Nintendo：任天堂
screaming：叫喊的

Just like rock ‘n’ roll or folk rock before, new fusions will bring transformations to the path of music.  Only time will tell what new mixes of older styles are down the road.

transformation：變化、轉變、轉化
only time will tell：時候到了就知道
down the road：未來將會發生

文法：
to achieve the desired = to get the kind of result that is wanted（以達成所想要的或期望得到的）

特別補充：
or：換言之
Some people suffer from acrophobia, or the fear of heights.
