'''Flip music''' is a genre of music created and performed by [[human]]s.

==Trivia==
* The flip music heard in the "Jenkins' helmet cam" cinematic is a song called "[[Shreddin']]".<ref name="H4fg">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/Media.aspx?mid=13895&age_verify=1 '''''Bungie.net''' Media Player - Halo Music'']</ref> This song was created for ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', although it is not present on the [[Halo: Original Soundtrack|retail soundtrack]]. It was later released as a free download on [[Bungie.net]].
*According to Joseph Staten in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' cinematic documentary found in the Legendary Edition Bonus Disc of ''[[Halo 3]]'', the development team originally planned to license ''Paint It Black'' by ''The Rolling Stones'' for the Pelican scene in ''343 Guilty Spark''. It was instead decided to use an original song before the game's release.
