It mostly uses diatonic scale, Its based around harmony, and it uses a 4/4 beat. These are all very distinctly European musical traits.
erratic post-African repetitions
>genres can't have more than one rootstick to video game soundtracks.
>>130367065>diatonic scales>distinctly euroLOL why do chuds always think history began in 1700
Listen to some based jazz for once and find out yourself.
They also took a lot from Ravel and Debussy and Scotch-Irish folk music's as well. Don't tell them that though, they will flip the fuck out that their music doesn't exist in this afro-centrist narrative where every culture with complex rhythm and harmony actually were influenced by West African Polyrhythms.

>>130370444Because most “traditional” culture is only 300 years old at the earliest.
>>130367065usually I hear jazz described as the merging of African diaspora music with Western instruments and musical theory
>>130370560the diatonic scale has existed longer than 300 years dumb fuck.
>>130367065syncopated drum rhythms
>>130370591wrong. black people, in all creative endeavors, are divinely inspired and produce their art from whole cloth with zero outside influence to corrupt its purity. imagine thinking modern culture had any roots traceable to western white people kek
>>130370539there's far more stravinsky and bach in jazz than those two, larper
>>130370636I mean generally
>>130370591this is accurate >>130370539influence goes both wayshttps://youtu.be/jrZLWfHQAc0?si=dLVo8iaGBfQqt16E
>>130370400>vgm sticks to diatonic shithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVAJOjA0kok
>>130371432Neat. I didn't know Debussy wrote that.
>>130367065>and it uses a 4/4 beatSo, Mr. Dave Brubeck would like a word!
>>130371432>influence goes both waysHello?This guy is black?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q6kG2r41lQHello!Hello?
It is European in origin. For an honest discussion we'd need to take this to /pol/.
>>130370539you are being replaced by ai and robotsgo tiki torch that shit, cunt
>>130370508fuckin nice>>130371364trump wonthe fuck is your problem? go enjoy iran controlling oil and the sham paper stamping supreme court. go pretend youre in a ball room giving immigrants covid or whatever. just shut the fuck up.
>>130371627well done obeying what i said
>>130372993NOT AN ARGUMENT
>>130372993lol. I first read your post as root meaning key center as if you were implying video game music doesn't have interesting harmonies that go outside of a single (root) key....but now understanding that you were talking about roots as origins, that makes even less sense since vgm draws from fucking everything.
>>130367065Pervasive syncopation. Western tradition only used it as a special effect.
>>130373064this post is interesting. on the one hand, its language, given the context of 4xchan, borders on racism. pervasive this pervy that.but jazz is a fantastic embedding of groundfloor level syncopations into the very meter of the music. so in another way "pervasive' is not a terrible take.
>blah blah blah jazz is le heckin degenerino da joo negermusik or somethin but also whites invented it or somethin
>>130367065Part of the story of jazz is like the new orleans stink blues or something, storyville was torn down so no jazz historian is 100 percent on any of the sources anyways probably
>>130367065Its got tons of different influences, some come from europe as well. I dont know why its so hard for people here to accept that a lot of what formed jazz came from black people
Black Americans are white
>>130373063wrong again, try again
>>130375714On 4chan maybe, everywhere else the influence is massively overstated. Musical styles that emerged in the US are some kind of creole as a rule and arguing racial ownership over them is nonsense. If there is one instance where the ‘diversity is our strength’ mantra is genuinely, unequivocally true, it’s objectively in our music.
