Man, it's kinda weird always being one of the only people to post legit songs in this thread rather than a piece from an OST. Eh, oh well.

Spoiler: Chantal Claret - Pop Pop Bang Bang

Warning: Imagery within the Music Video could be considered creepy or dark by some, but the song is a really good one so if you must don't actually watch the video

Spoiler: Mindless Self Indulgence - This Hurts

MSI, as I said in a prior post, has an over the top sound and swears a lot usually. Listeners be wary.

I didn't know video game music wasn't legit music.

My wording could have been better I realize, but what I mean is that there are definable differences between a track from a game and songs. There are of course a few exceptions to those differences, but the majority of tracks and songs aren't interchangeable.

Spoiler: The Mountain Goats - No Children

Music is music, there is no difference between video game music and well, regular music. Not to me, at least.

Agreed. There is little reason to classify the music that accompanies video games as something different, as some of the highly revered pieces today were written for theatrical performances and films.

I actually agree that there typically are compositional differences between music that was created for the sake of making music, and that for accompanying theater/films/television/games. The music is a key part of the production as a whole, and has to work with the rest of the production or it otherwise creates a dissonance that feels awkward. (Of course, that dissonance might also be desired for effect.)

Regardless, I think that music is music. It's just one of the many forms of creative expression we have. :)
