What exactly do normies have against listening to video game music? It definitely has more artistic merit than the popslop they listen to.
Whenever I put any on around people everyone looks at me like a fucking leper. A girl once broke up with me after finding out I listen to it.
I hate that I have to keep my taste in music more secret than the nuclear launch codes.
>>
>more artistic merit than the popslop
Not at all, it's ultra simplified on purpose.
>>
>>84158006
Normies' justifications for why things are "weird" are always circular. Any question like this will be answered with some variation of "it's weird because it's weird" with no further justification.
>>
>>84158006
normies are just bots god made to fill up earth
>>
>>84158006
>What exactly do normies have against
Who cares.
>>
>>84158030
>it's ultra simplified on purpose.
popslop you mean? you are correct, it's made to reach as much people as possible, just like marvel movies.
>>
There's no difference between "real" music and "videogame" music. They are both music and videogame soundtracks are inspired by a multitude of "real" music genres.
>>
>>84158076
real music is made to heighten the senses, videogame music is made to be unobtrusive while you play.

It's like liking elevator music. It signals you're a more basic individual, with little potential and desire to challenge yourself for something better.
>>
>>84158076
Of course, normies are incapable of listening to anything that isn't trending on Spotify.
I've told multiple normies that I don't have Spotify and they all looked at me like I just told them I don't have a toilet.
>>
>>84158006
I don't understand /mu/fags desu
I tried listening to Siouxsie and I just don't like it
>>
I listen to boomer metal, 2000s music, vidya music and some underground rap. I can't listen to music that's currently trendy for some reason.

Spotify isn't all bad. It has Disney songs in my native language that I couldn't find anywhere else in decent quality. Also it's pretty good at remembering songs I like after using it for a while.
>>
>>84158457
*it's good at helping me remember songs I like
sorry I'm a retard

They think it's lame because they think you're trying to LARP a theme or live in a fantasy land.
It's like listening to specifically only vampiric black metal and when people ask what music you listen to you don't hesitate to say "yup, vampiric black metal" then you start blasting the craziest Nasferatu shit. It's too themed, it comes off as weird.
>>
>>84158052
You can counter by saying "give me one specific reason." They usually bluescreen.
>>
>>84158006
I actually really don't understand why.
From normie music, there is only a couple I like, and it's usually just one song out of their entire album, like "Sicko Mode" or idk, I guess I like Yung Lean too
Then asked wut video game music I like, Sonic 1, 2, CD, 3, Mania soundtrack, SA 1 and 2 Soundtrack, Zelda soundtrack, SMT II, IV, Nocturne, idk the list keeps going for days, but I feel it sound so much better

Bro, SMT Nocturne music was way too fucking epic, I think I am a changed Man because of those musics. So freaking good.
>>
>>84158006
>What exactly do normies have against listening to video game music?
Same reason people don't like listening to music that was specifically composed for movies, it's very well made for a specific setting but sounds out of place without that
>more artistic merit than the popslop
That doesn't matter when people want to just move their bodies and probably turn their head off, even sloppa has somewhat it's place
>>

I think that with autists, they're able to mentally connect the two better than normalfags which creates this special interest.
For example, I can listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQzjP7IrTlw and be instantly put back in the feeling of the movie, the horror faced by the German troops. But for normalfags they probably can't do that is my guess.
>>
>>84159289
>But for normalfags they probably can't do that is my guess
They can otherwise they wouldn't use it in movies or vidya but that's not why most listen to music
>>
>>84158006
Dorks say this and then say the Evergrace and Drakengard soundtracks are just noise and that Undertale's soundtrack is the peak of humanity.
>>
>>84159312
My point is they can't connect the two with one absent. I think autists create stronger emotions in their memories. I talked about this with my shrink once and he said autists are much more susceptible to trauma, this is probably related.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11997697/
Yeah it's definitely related
>>
>>84159390
>My point is
That's not what i was talking about tho
>>
I sure couldn't give a fuck what some faggot normie thinks about my vidya OST's, why should you?
>A girl once broke up with me after finding out I listen to it
Is that the reason? Fucking kek.
>>
Boring and sounds like shit shriple as
>>
>they need lyrics to appreciate music
El oh el.
>>
>>84158006
If you're listening to "video game music" I'm assuming you're just listening to it because of its connection to a game and you have limited interest in music itself and exploring the medium in any kind of depth.
>>
Music is filled with pretentious retards OP, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
>>
>>84159480
Untrue, in fact sometimes it's the opposite. I mainly played Undertale because of the soundtrack.
>>
>>84158110
Right because the thousands of rap songs about getting money and bitches are so carefully made and deep. Or the countless whiny songs about love are SO meaningful and nuanced. That's some bullshit right there Anon.
>>
>>84159246
I don't know. I think some stuff about normies is retarded. They give some autists shit for stimming but then they flail their arms and legs autistically in a pattern and call it "dancing". Most dancing looks retarded as hell.
>>
>>84158006
i am exactly what normies think i am and i do not care
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faWJY_QzIYc

Stop caring if normies think you're "weird." Normies spend thousands of dollars a year on useless shit, go to noisy bars, and have casual sex. Their approval means nothing.
>>
>>84158006
Because it makes you look like a fucking manchild retard
>>
>>84159722
any shitty rap song has a lot more layers into it than vidya music, which is deliberately diluted to not bother with what matters.
>>
>>84160257
Nobody actually thinks this.
>>
>>84159651
>i am an exception, therefore the rule is invalid
>>
Because you haven't heard peak like African tribal or native aboriginal music. Stop listening to radioslop.
>>
>>84160391
I'm not saying people don't listen to video game music for that reason, I'm just saying that's not why I listen to video game music.
>>
Usually neckbeards who like video game music only listen to music from games they've played

It's more about being reminded of the game than enjoying the music on its own merits
