Video Game Music.

[Murkrow]

I have nothing against ordinary pop music, it's just that I like video game music more. In fact, I like quite lot of pop groups etc. The only thing is, I always find myself listening to music from games instead (Koji Kondo has got to be my favourite Musician). I rarely listen to normal music, not counting to the car radio.

I'm guessing it's just because these musics just make me happy because they remind me of the happy times I've had playing the games I like.

I mean in my music folder my VGM file has to be as least 20 times bigger than the rest.

So...
Anyone is else like me?

Please nobody call me a weirdo.



SEE VOICES IN MY HEAD? I DIDN'T MENTION ZELDA AT ALL ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

I love video game music, and it's one of my favorite types of music, but I don't prefer it to performed music. There are catchy tunes, but few pieces have the emotion that songs actually performed by people contain.

Keep in mind, I count video game music as NES-style music or at least up to the N64, when it was mostly a MIDI-like thing. Mario's theme is fun and catchy, but it's not made to express any emotion. I shouldn't be talking, since I listen to ABBA, but whatever. :P

I generally like non-video game music more, but the like-to-dislike ratio is higher for video game music, I guess; that's really just because it's narrower, though.

I agree with you... I like video game music better than real music. Animal Crossing has a lot of the good music. :)

Ooh, I thought I was the only one!

Yes, my video game music folder is about 5 times bigger than my normal music one. I especially like Final Fantasy music. Nobuo Uematsu is brilliant. <3

Of course, I still do like several tradional songs. It's just that I find myself listening almost exclusively to FF music now.

The only video game music I really like is Command & Conquer, and Blizzard Entertainment games. I don't really like video game music besides those.

Brawl, Zelda and FF music > all regular music. My brother always tells me I'm weird when he walks into the room and hears The Brawl theme playing from my sound system. It's even worse when I play Song of Storms, because then he gives me this look. XD It's nearly as fun as playing Japanese rap, just to watch his reactions. :P

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

It depends on the game music. I'm the one you'd find listening to my CD player while playing my DS, so I have to say that I prefer regular music.

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

er guys

traditional music isn't pop music

traditional music is FOLK music, perhaps even classical music, but not pop music

considering video game music (for example the soundtrack to Brawl) is based off of classical music, which is traditional music, the thread title is totally misleading

Game music rules, end of story.

I've been listening to too many remixes....

Although the Brawl-Zelda music rules. Beyond reason.

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

Perhaps it should be renamed 'Video Game Music' to 'Other Music'. I consider video game music a genre, not just stuff in videogames. I wouldn't consider the Brawl theme video game music, though it is in a video game. I define VG music, as I previously said, as NES to early N64 music with lots of beepy sounds, three 'instruments', and the ability to be listened to for hours on end.

Yeah, it's not like all video game music falls under one genre. Saying you like video game music is about as vague as saying you like movie soundtracks or music from Europe.
