A way records feel rather than a category they belong to. Only listeners can say it.
Syncopation is a technical term in music including those rhythms that are surprising and/or deviate from the standard downbeat-upbeat pattern. This can include stressed beats where you'd expect unstressed ones or vice versa. Common forms include missed beats, suspensions, anticipated bass, and "even note" and "off beat" rhythms. Syncopation is common in contemporary musical styles like funk, raegae, ska, rap, rock, classical, jazz, jump blues, dance, and ragtime, but may appear in some form in almost all areas of contemporary music. .
