ITTL: Freddy Mercury doesn't get AIDS and is still alive in 2012. (OTOH, Elton does get AIDS. :( )

Like the earlier "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Don't Stop me Now", Queen's music of the 1990s is segmented with *significant* changes in both tempo and instruments between the pieces (segs) of the song. Other groups in the early to mid '90s adopt this this type of music (called Rhap after Bohemian Rhapsody) (ITTL, OTL Rap is still viewed as a subgenre of hip-hop).

Later groups in the mid '00s will create songs whose music is entirely made of their own (and from others) segs from other songs and in different orders. This style of music becomes known as Jigsaw from the idea of assembling songs like a jigsaw (somewhat similar to OTL remixing, but in more exact pieces).
