Video Game Music.

Re: Anyone else Prefer Video Game Music over Traditional Music?

"video game music"? "real music"? where are these lines you are drawing? what does orchestrated video game music count as?
 
Re: Anyone else Prefer Video Game Music over Traditional Music?

I totally prefer Video Game music, because popular songs are not known by me. I'm just a tiny Alxprit who gets all the music he needs from Video Games.
 
Re: Anyone else Prefer Video Game Music over Traditional Music?

I'll change the thread title since so many people are complaining. I just don't know what to change it to. I fail at knowing stuff about music so I wasn't really sure whether 'traditional' was the right word.
So.. what should I change it to?

Errr by video game music i mean the soundtrack, the background music. The music that plays when you're actually playing it. I wasn't really referring to certain styles of music or anything, just music that plays as you're playing.

By the other kind of music I wasn't really referring to a certain kind, just pop music, bands, singers etc. Just the kind of music that lots of people like. rock, rap etc.

I fail at explaining things. >_< I doubt anyone understands any better.

Anyway, I'm glad other people are like me.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

<Furret> Saying you like video game music is like saying you like music from Europe or music from people who are attention defecit
<Furret> the only thing all video game music has is that is indeed from a video game
<Furret> there is no stylistic consistency
<Furret> so to talk about it all at once like it's all the same damn thing is ridculous
<Furret> video game music pretty much covers every major genre ever

There really needs to be a genre made for old-style game music, made with three 'instruments' (really just synths and a drum thing) and complicated bass and catchy melodies that one could repeat for hours. I adore that kind of music. Ecruteak City and the Super Mario bros theme are really catchy and have nice melodies. There is something called Nintendocore but that sounds really lame.
 
I recently discover the most awesome video game music ever:

The Masked Man Battle from Mother 3. Listen to it now. It sounds dark and depressing, but awesome, and it gives you that feeling in your stomach you don't know if you like or not.
 
I like the Starcraft background music. Haha.

And AK, I think talking about music in video games qualifies as 'video game music'. I wasn't aware we were inventing a genre.
 
The best title for this thread would probably be "Is video game music your favorite genre of music?" or something to that degree. iTunes classifies most of my VG music as either "Soundtrack" or "Game".
 
But video game music isn't a goddamned genre. iTunes also classifies all metal music as "Rock"; it is not a good place to be getting your audio metadata.

Ok, exception to every rule. I think that's clearly not what I'm talking about, so no.
