  Lol, then you obviously don't really get it. If it appeals to someone then its good to them.

  
  You can like ****ty music. It's still ****ty music.

  Your opinion is your opinion. In mine its not ****ty.

  I don't really understand why people would listen to background music. Not saying I don't, but doing stuff like going to the mall or riding the bus, I'd rather not listen to instrumental music only. Only real thing I can think of is if your a dancer/breaker/raver/etc.
  
  *Rides the bus. Turns on Touhou BGM. /Hallucinates the bus in a bullet hell and starts freaking out*
  
  The video game music I listen to.... have lyrics; the BGM ones.... I use for other things like Mabinogi BGM, although I stopped playing.

  
  
  Stimulates the imagination :D

  Both genres suck. Listen to classical.

  I can agree with this 9/10 of the time. :XD:

  Depends on what you mean by classical. Are you talking about the specific time period, or the general term that encompasses the baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary periods? Orchestrated video game music often borrows from the same themes as the so-called classical music, so it's not as if they're entirely dissimilar. There are plenty of parts in Stravinsky's Firebird that I could find in video game music today.

  Video game music (along with music from movies, tv shows etc) is pretty much modern-day classical music with modern instruments.
• Rebel wrote on 2010-05-03 22:02
  I tend to listen to baroque more often than classical...but that's only cause I feel cliché listening to beethoven.
• Chillax wrote on 2010-05-03 22:04
  To me, Baroque is droll as hell. I like music from the contemporary period, since it's a lot more exciting.
• Rebel wrote on 2010-05-03 22:18
  What's wrong with a little whimsy?! ._.
  lol
  I don't like chopin though...too flouncy for my taste.
  Though don't misunderstand...I do like a song that has a dark backstory to it, like the chaconne bach composed for his wife who commit suicide.(allegedly?!)
  
  
  ...I don't think I'm familiar with many contemporary pieces..sadly.
• Chillax wrote on 2010-05-03 22:20
  Nothing wrong, I just like action-packed stuff.
  
  A lot of classical music is more fun to play than to listen.

  Well, what makes ****ty music?
  
  I mean, Britney Spears isn't my favorite artist, but some of the songs she has put out over the decade have been really catchy and make me wanna dance!
  
  Some hip-hop also makes me wanna move my feet.
  
  What is crappy music then? What makes good music?
  
  It's different for everyone, it's all subjective.
  
  
  I like being open-minded about stuff. I listen to the radio a lot and I don't cringe at every mainstream pop song I hear. I listen to it and I'm like, "oh this isn't so bad."
  
  I dunno how some people stand listening to Metal or Screamo, but I don't think their music is crap.
  
  Some of it is really catchy and fun.
  
  Every type of music appeals a certain audience.
  
  
  The only bad music I can think of is somewhere who sings off-key most of the time or when instruments don't hit the right notes.
  
  That's just noise to me.

  Give me my 90GB playlist of Mega Man and my original fan fiction OSTs, and I'm good. None of this modern crap for me, thanks. =P I'm very much into nerdcore.
• Haydrian wrote on 2010-05-04 03:57
  Give me metal or give me death. Amen.
  
  Not pop. Not game tracks. Guitars, drum sets, strong vocals, and a good bassline. Hard rock, metal and sometimes punk.
  
  I'll listen to anything, but that's where my alliances lay and always will.
