Morphology
The phrase is compositionally clear: 'crossover' (a blend of styles) combined with 'of genres' specifies what is being blended. This noun + of + noun pattern is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common way to indicate mixing of categories, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
