Given your learning of the banjo, have you ever been pleasantly surprised to 'encounter' a banjo in a song outside the expected genera? I still have to remind myself there's one in Dropkick Murphy's Rose Tattoo lol.
Heck yeah, absolutely! <3 I expect banjo in Celtic or Americana-related material, but there's nothing as satisfying as catching banjo in pop punk or soundtrack scores. Even if it's played poorly, I appreciate the inclusion. As a newly-annointed banjo obsessee, I take note so I can show friends that banjo is more diverse than they think it is, and more omnipresent.
The ones that catch me off-guard tend to be media I'd known a long time but didn't notice the banjo due to my youngness. Watching an Arthur episode after 20 years, and noticing how much banjo was in their music, was a hilarious surprise to me.
The ones that pleasantly intrigue me come from musicians knowingly taking the banjo new grounds, like Bela Fleck's jazz and symphonic works (to be clear, banjo was in jazz in the 1920s, but we've long since forgotten that) or Abigail Washburn's collaboration album with guzheng-player Wu Fei, in case you wanted to hear American and Chinese folk melodies played simultaneously with one another.
There's no reason for banjo to be pigeon-holed. So I am the biggest fan of hearing banjo outside its unfortunate hole of pigeon.

Oh, the joys of viewing my soul-soothing shows with a loved one.
White Collar Free Fall
(Neal and Mozzie walking together)
My older sister GPDofTUN: I know him! I know him!
Me: The young guy or the older guy?
GPD: The older one.
Me: Probably Sex in the City. (NEVER willingly watched that show, just know Willie Garson is apparently known for it)
GPD: Why does Peter's wife look so familiar?
Me:.... It's alright 'cause I'm Saved by the Bell....
GPD: Ohhhh! That's HER??!
(Peter learns that Neal is hiding in his house)
GPD: (As Neal when he shyly shows himself to Peter) Hi, Daddy.
(She gets it!!!! 🥰😁)
(Peter hiding in the shadows when Kate walks in)
GPD: Oh my God.... He married Kate?!
Me: What?! No!
GPD: Ohh, she looks just like his wife. (I never noticed the resemblance between Kate and El until someone pointed it out on a forum a year or so ago. It's hard to see anyone but Kelly when looking at El. In the far back of my head, Zack Morris changed his name to Peter Burke, darkened his hair and eyes, and joined the FBI . That's how he's so hip to Neal's schemes 🤣)
White Collar Vital Signs
(When Neal points out that Peter has to flirt with that woman all afternoon and it'll be a fun story to tell Elizabeth over breakfast)
GPD: He's definitely the kid. (As Neal) Mom, guess what Dad did!
Me: 🥰🤗
White Collar Home Invasion
GPD: That's the girl you like, right?
Me: Yep, Alex with her sexy self.
GPD: That's not the one he's been looking for?
Me: Nope, that's Kate.
GPD: So, why did Peter tell Alex he's FBI if Neal didn't want him to?
Me: Just being a dad, embarrassing him wherever possible.
GPD: Ohhhhhhh, right.
Don't kill yourself.
Do become a tutor in White Collar 101💛
