Video Game Music sort of feels like it isn't taken seriously. However, I feel it could be some of the strongest types of music because it's attached to experiences. Today, we take a look at the history of video game music, the different types, and some of the most effective uses of it in games.

Greetings and welcome to the bottom of the description. I'm Alax, more legally known as Alex Carducci. I make design analysis videos on fictional stuff I really like. Most of this time this centralizes on video games I love like Super Smash Bros., Super Mario, Persona, or Sonic the Hedgehog. I studied design and communications, so I find it fascinating how technology and culture shapes the media in our lives and how we perceive it. My channel aims to look into the history and development of these topics in depth so we can all find the truth as to why things are made the way they are. Also, there's a talking cat.

Another thing amazing about Celeste’s soundtrack is Madeline’s leitmotif vs Badeline’s leitmotif. Badeline’s is a minor, almost more sinister version of Madeline’s, signifying how anxiety is the part of her that is “bad.” But when the two start to work together, their themes merge in a beautiful harmony, signifying how embracing your anxiety rather than pushing it away can seriously improve everything. It’s amazing.

Music is music and no one has to be judged, including people that listen to rap, game music, reggaeton, blues, electro swing etc... You know... I was thinking about being a musician but then I thought that here in Spain (where I live) if you make Reggaeton or trap or something like that half of the people are going to tell you that your music sucks but if you do other types of music the other half will criticize you...

this, is beautiful, no joke, I just love this. I just remembered the time that I listened to 11pm in animal crossing new leaf for the first time. It was last year, I was hyped for New Horizons, and I had gone back to new leaf for the first time in ages in a brand new save to experience it again. It was a game I grew up with and I hold so many fond memories with it, going back to it at that time was helping me with the stress of exams and life in general. One night, I was playing it, and I suddenly heard music that I had never heard before, it was surreal to me that I was hearing new music in a game that I spent hours playing when I was a child, but I had never played the game this late before. The calm and reflective vibes that 11pm gave off... it reminded me of all the time I spent with this game when I was younger, and how this game gave me a place to escape to when the relationships I had in real life were toxic, and how the game was still helping me through rough places now. I cried, a happy crying, because I realised just how much this game meant to me. Video game music is incredible, and I will always remember this experience.

Y’all are literally forgetting about Touhou, the mother of video game music. ZUN(Jun’ya Ota) literally made 555 songs or more for the whole franchise. And each one were a bop. The all had different atmospheres and some tracks had similar atmospheres because they were in the same setting(LoLK and IN)! He always wrote the music for the game first and then designed the game based on what the music would do. The amounts of leitmotifs present is ridiculous as well(Theme of Eastern Story appearing in every Windows game, and in the new bosses music. Necrofantasia/Pure Furies/ True Administrator/ Concealed the Four Seasons having new parallels being discovered.) Or even character themes having something that distinctly makes each character different(Marisa had the most amounts of themes in the franchise yet they all are distinctly Marisa representing a different aspect of her.)It even inspired undertale’s music for god sake. (Just listen to Undyne’s theme or Asriel’s theme and compare it to Lunar Dial or Love Colored Master Spark.)

Based on only the first 3 minutes of the vid, I think you're you're attributing some things to video game music alone, which are actually common to much instrumental music. In lyrical music, what you can simply say with words, in instrumental music must be said through the composition. Its a lot harder to do, but often elicits the intended feeling much more thoroughly. I look to a band called Balmorhea for an excellent example of evoking the sense of a certain setting or region through only the music itself and the track titles (and without just using a genre that comes from that setting, i.e. not just making standard country music when they were evoking the spirit of the early american south)

Tom TheRavenclaw A couple of solutions 1. Grab some Final Fantasy, Persona, or Sonic (R and Secret Rings sound the most like radio music consistently.) music and play it. See how those people react to the song first. Then tell them its origin. 2. Next time they say that, ask them what songs you heard that sound like that and make them search it. They most likely aren't able to, as there are tons of video game music and they probably didn't even bother to look up the name. That or they just made it up and have never listened to a song from a video game. 3. If there's ever a huge event, ask the DJ to play a vocal theme from a game. There are a ton of options, not limited to Persona, Sonic (mostly the games in between Adventure 1 to Sonic Lost World), or Jet Set Radio. Those games in particular have the most vocal themes, but you can also use other vocal themes. Freesia from Mega Man Zero 4 will get the heads turning. 4. Alternatively, you could just play Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts on a speaker one day. No one will tell the difference. I hope I helped.
