...The history of mashup culture in general can be dated back to the beginnings of dada and conceptual art. Artists such as Marcel Duchamp were the first to introduce already existing objects, which they rearranged and combined in collages, to the world of higher art. These artists believed that even though certain artifacts were ascribed a certain meaning, this meaning could be altered through rearranging them and putting them into a new context....Paul D. Miller, also known as DJ Spooky, Sound Unbound: Sampling Digital Music and Culture that it has been "fuelled by rapid advances in technology that have transformed art and communication". He describes sampling as an essential part of our society. The book was published by the MIT Press

"Mash up" is common in Jamaica and across the entire Caribbean. It can be used as a verb or adjective to mean "Demolish/demolished" or "Destroy/destroyed". You'll likely hear this used in reference to something that is in disarray, and the term also carries some level of disbelief or shock.

...traces the inexorable rise of collage, montage, sampling and the cut-up. Tracing its roots from the multiple-perspectives, montages and readymades of Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Hannah Hoch, to the present with its postmodern network culture, where remixing and co-production are the norm and the New Aesthetic seeks to harmonise the now-everyday crossover of the digital and the actual.The book addresses the development of détournement and deconstruction in art, architecture, music and society. Each chapter is a detailed, inclusive look at a cross-section of the main artists and thinkers that have embraced and developed all forms of 'mashup' culture, since its inception in the late nineteenth century with Braque and Picasso's experiments into perspective.

And then you chop it small;
Then mix the bits, and sort them out
Just as they chance to fall:
The order of the phrases makes
No difference at all.
'mashup' entered my lexicon sometime in the late 1990s, and is an example of le mot juste, the epitome, a crystallization in a single word of a combination, and the process, the algorithm, the verbal form, by which something new emerges.
Portmanteau words are mashups. 'Blog' is a mashup of 'web' and 'log'. When I first heard (or perhaps read) 'mashup' it FIT semantically for me, and the signification of the term instantly ramified beyond the domain of musical creativity to other domains where one might profitably combine stuff. 'Mashup' filled "a much-needed gap" in the English lexicon (from the perspective of sober-sided prescriptive lexicography)... BUT emerged from the living rockface of English As She Are Spoke. A wonderful word, applicable to all manner of combinatory exploration. Turning a raw mashup into an explicated recombination of elements that manifests something NEW is ...an artform, surely—the making of Form. And such transformation of component parts into a novel configuration requires TOOLS, and the understanding of their use that's expressed as Technology (insert here a digression on the genesis of MP3 files and the tools to work with them) ...and pretty soon you see evidence of mashups all around. Making them artfully, seamlessly, verisimilitudinously requires practice.
"There is nothing new under the sun" is an aphorism, a virtual parable, and is, as they say, arguable. Every thing that is is composed of parts, many and even most taken from other things—borrowed, stolen, thiefed, repurposed... It's a human thing: we learn by watching, listening, practice, gradually evolving skill, and accumulating knowledge of surroundings and potentials and possibilities. We "create" largely by bricolage, using materials that are within reach.
A ,b>cultural activity that we humans are pretty good at: making STUFF out of other bits. I'm reminded of the student who responded to my ?what's the essence of humans? question:

'Mashup' became a Thing and was instantiated in the context of the development of the MP3 codec for sound:
MP3 WikipediaThe combination of small size and acceptable fidelity led to a boom in the distribution of music over the Internet in the late 1990s, with MP3 serving as an enabling technology at a time when bandwidth and storage were still at a premium. The MP3 format soon became associated with controversies surrounding copyright infringement, music piracy, and the file-ripping and sharing services MP3.com and Napster, among others. With the advent of portable media players (including "MP3 players"), a product category also including smartphones, MP3 support became near-universal and it remains a de facto standard for digital audio despite the creation of newer coding formats such as AAC....An acapella version of the song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega was the first song used by Brandenburg to develop the MP3 format. It was used as a benchmark to see how well MP3's compression algorithm handled the human voice. Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the compression algorithm, making sure it did not adversely affect the reproduction of Vega's voice.[47] Accordingly, he dubbed Vega the "Mother of MP3".[48] Instrumental music had been easier to compress, but Vega's voice sounded unnatural in early versions of the format. Brandenburg eventually met Vega and heard Tom's Diner performed live.

In the first decade of the 21st century the term found its way into more general use in other computer applications:
...an application typically served from the web that integrates elements from multiple sources to form a new service (Cartographic Perspectives Bulletin 2009)...A mashup aggregates and reuses information from multiple sources. This is accomplished via some means such as a transclusion (Ted Nelso 1982) which is an on=demand inclusion of one resources into another via hyperlinking (Dasgupta Social Computing 2010)
Other examples in the same realm of recombination, possible to see as mashups: food (Banh Mi mashes up Vietnamese and French [baguette is essential]), and plentiful examples of the introduction into cuisines of foods from elsewhere. And blues lyrics can be read as mashups, recombining phrases and tropes. And in fact each of US is a mashup of DNA from two parents...
