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)

Any percussive delay with loads of filtered feedback in dub or tech house

Really repetitive samples that evolve like Global Communication - The Way

I love when something is sung in a lower, more calm register and towards the end when things get fast the same thing is said but with a higher octave and more energy like it's so exciting it feels like character development but for music

The Stage by Avenged Sevenfold fits the bill. Especially if you watch the video along with the music, that song is just all around fucking great, to include the ending.

I was also reminded of A7X except I thought of their song Sidewinder. The guitar ending is my favorite part.

BT - Firewater is a very extreme example of this. First part of the song is more 'ethnic electronica'.

This one is probably very specific but Utada Hikaru has one that I love, where towards the end of certain songs she sings the chrous, and then keeps the same melody going multiple times but with different lyrics. It's like she extends the feeling and rhythm of the chorus but keeps it interesting by using different lyrics the whole time. Some examples: Goodbye Happiness, Making Love, About Me, LETTERS, Sakura DROPS.

I can't think of any more examples, but bands that rework an old popular song and keep parts of the melody and make a new one. Both examples I know of are teen spirit/rape me by Nirvana.. and linoleum/linewleum by nofx and are both, imo, reflections of what gained them a larger following. Can you name some more?

Right now it's breakdowns in hyperpop songs that are a lil too dubstepy but don't overstay their welcome. Underscores is a great example

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.

I like short intros with only vocals like "Hush" from Stick to your Guns.
