There's definitely a bit of a pattern to this in music as with nearly everything.

Players within the established tradition "take it seriously" which is on one hand respect for tradition and on the other impedes full integration of new techniques and sounds.

Newer less established genres are more playful/experimental, and what works for them can eventually get accepted by the older forms and rolled in.

I kinda mentioned this in another comment in here but it's very visible in the relationships between jazz and hip hop right now. Contemporary jazz uses a lot of techniques and sound profiles that were developed in trap music of all things.
