Which new book genres have emerged in the past decade?

Found family: It is a variation of the family saga in which people who are unrelated people get together and serve as a family unit. I've read older literature (written before genres) that has this theme.

Speculative/Murder Mystery: These occur in a Fantasy setting and a Sci-Fi future or anywhere that the laws of science can change to make it easier to solve the mystery.

Romantasy: A romance plot in a high fantasy world. Not quite the same as Arthurian romance because it is usually steamier, and courtly behavior is not always common.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

These are not really new book types. They are combinations of past genres and typically listed as sub-genres.
