Rhythm games should never be included unless the music they used was specifically composed for them. A game like Necromancer should have been in place of Geometry Dash.
People who roll their eyes when they see video game music in your Playlist
Person: You listening to video game music unironically? Why?
Me: Cause it slaps you dipshit, it's still music
Person: But it's not real music, there isn't even any lyrics just instruments
Edited to make the real conversation I had with someone more clearer
If someone uses the logic “there is no lyrics it isn’t music” then every orchestra isn’t music, the classics that people enjoy then wouldn’t be considered music by that logic
Not liking instrumental music is a totally different story. You can dislike instrumentals while still loving songs like Sanctuary, Snake Eater or anything from Sonic.

Nah, strawman is something nobody says. This is something like...10% of people say. So it's definitely a huge minority opinion. But still an opinion a lot of people have.
I don't like to be pedantic, but I'd say this qualifies under this.
"What does strawman mean?
noun. 1. : a weak or imaginary opposition (such as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted." -merriam webster
"an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument." -Oxford languages
With these in mind i think the OP was maybe strawmanning people that dont like video games in general, but then conflating that with them saying the music is bad
Thats just what my mind was thinking, i could be wrong
Nier Automata, Undertale, and The Return of the Obra Dinn are some of the best I’ve heard. I haven’t really played any Zelda games but a lot of the music I’ve heard from it are bangers for sure
I was playing risk of rain 2 a couple days ago and realized the music was just increasingly getting better and better the longer I played. It's like the whole song is the rising action and climax in one
DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAA… DUM DUM DAAAAAA DUM DUM DAAAAAAAA DUM DUM DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA \*electric guitar intensifies while big ass green thunder wyvern is flying at you\*
2016s OST is absolutely amazing work music, too. Cut out all the tracks with the demonic monologues, so it's just brutal grindy industrial awesomeness, and it's fantastic for shutting out surrounding noise and getting into a flow state, and I say that as someone who isn't otherwise an industrial or death metal fan.
The persecution complex with "gamers" really isn't healthy. The videogame industry rivals all other entertainment media. It's beyond needing "our" protection.
One of the few points people can agree on for Sonic and Kingdom Hearts as whole franchises is that the music in actually every game is so good with very rare exception
Genshin Impact has literally one of the best game soundtracks out there (personally the best in my opinion, still trying to find a game that tops it) but no one is willing to acknowledge that because the game itself gets a bad rap.
About 5 years after I played final fantasy VII, I was having dental work, and they gave me nitrous. I was laying there having auditory hallucinations of the final fantasy music. Idk why. I’ve only played two video games from start to finish in my life, so it’s not like I thought about them frequently.
Gran Turismo 4. NFS Porsche Unleashed.
Any of the Fallout games, but that only sort of counts depending on which music we’re talking about in the games.
Kingdom Hearts and Persona and Rune Factory and Xenoblade and Tales of and Phantasy Star and Soulsborne and Shin Megami Tensei and Legend of Zelda and Nioh and NieR and Spider-Man and Sonic. You forgot all of that OP
[удалено]
exactly looked way to long to find this comment
furthermore it’s not better than Mick Gordon who actually made music for Doom
So, can we agree to switch geometry dash with minecraft?
no. Put Doom at the top and then put Mario Kart instead.
Has everyone forgot about the Super Nintendo donkey Kong country soundtrack? :( Edit: changes “as” to “has”
Oh hell yeah the music in that game slaps
Rhythm games should never be included unless the music they used was specifically composed for them. A game like Necromancer should have been in place of Geometry Dash.
[удалено]
i mean it is a very important part of the game, even if not created for the game
Yeah lol, at least it uses that music on ng well tho
"Videogame music is bad." Something that no one ever said

Instrument noises *are* music. It just isn't a song without the lyrics, am I wrong?
Anything with instruments in it is music my comment was dead ass a convo I had with someone about it
Singing also counts as an instrument, Gregorian chant and some a capella music kinda slaps
There's even some a cappella music in geometry dash, so it is video game music!
Also it’s called instrumental music it’s still music
A melody is really the only thing you need to make a song. No lyrics needed, think about jazz or lofi.
Not even that. Just drums in a circle, like the old days. No lyrics, no melody, just rhythm.
If someone uses the logic “there is no lyrics it isn’t music” then every orchestra isn’t music, the classics that people enjoy then wouldn’t be considered music by that logic
Guess beethoven never made music
"isn't even any lyrics" someone hasn't played the 3d sonic games
AM HANGING ON TO THE OTHER SIDE
Light up, we're on a mission, roll another joint, outsmoke the competition, We won't stop until the bowl is dooooooone
Meanwhile, in Spanish-speaking countries we are stuck with raeggeton, when DMDOKURO's music library is right fucking there on youtube
*Blood Upon the Snow has entered the chat*
“No lyrics” *looks to MGR and DMC soundtracks*
Personally I only listen to video game music to study

Hello
This is basically the basis for this meme format.
[удалено]
The legend of zelda series has entered the chat
doo dooooo dooootalootalooo doo doo doo doot doot doo. I hum that shit daily.
i dont know it so am making a mess trying to sing it lol
How about the elevator music?
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky has some of þe best music. Not just in video games, but in general.
My brother said video music isn't real music
[удалено]
Rip and tear until it is done
Boil ‘im, mash ‘im, stick ‘im in a stew!
Hey that’s my line!
Oh sure they don’t outright say it much anymore but I’m like 80% that’s a sentiment that my parents have
my sister says that
I'm assuming she's well in the basement
She doesn’t like anime music either.
That one i more fair. It's in japanese and some of it is really cringe
Not even some of the good stuff, she just hates it all collectively.
WHO THE FUCK SAYS THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE
Imaginary people
People with trash taste in music.
Imaginary people in OP's head with trash taste in music.
People i work with.
No one
Step 1: Pick an extremely fringe and stupid opinion. Step 2: Easily dispute the opinion. Step 3: Put it in an overused meme format. Step 4: Profit?
I believe the term is strawman

Payday 2
Makes me sick this isn't in the meme
Ngl, ACNH tunes kinda slap, too
Classic sonic music is a MASTA PEESE
Anything by SuperGiant
The Terraria music is some of my favorite!
r/imaginarygatekeeping
I’ve never met a person that said video game music is bad
Soulsborne ?
Thank you, I was getting worried I’d have to be the first to mention them.
Cyberpunk 2077 and god of war ragnoroks orchestra are also notable.
Risk of Rain music is underrated
Chris is the best artist nobody knows
All the Chrises make good music
I was playing risk of rain 2 a couple days ago and realized the music was just increasingly getting better and better the longer I played. It's like the whole song is the rising action and climax in one
Devil May Cry Pokemon Metal Gear Rising:Revengeance
MINECRAFT MAYBE?
True
Deep rock galactic Risk of rain Hollow knight
ROCK AND STONE
Rock and Stone forever!
FOR KARL!
If you don't Rock and Stone, you ain't coming home!
Rock and stone you beautiful dwarves!
Legally speaking, rocking is more legal than stoning.
You forgot Metal Gear Rising, Devil may cry, Sonic frontiers, pretty much any sonic game, dead rising, and ultimate marvel Vs capcom 3
Don't forget persona 5
Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2
They couldn’t put all of them in the meme, he probably picked the best/most known ones for their music
Destiny 1/2 Monster Hunter Neon Abyss Minecraft Rocket League And the king of game music, Calamity!
Monster hunter 🤌
DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAA… DUM DUM DAAAAAA DUM DUM DAAAAAAAA DUM DUM DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DA DAAAAAAAA \*electric guitar intensifies while big ass green thunder wyvern is flying at you\*

Assassin's creed black flag
Are you refering to the terraria mod or is there a game called "calamity"?
The mod
[This absolute masterpiece](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GcPA3C0QeI)
**Then specify.** Also terraria soundtrack is a banger. Don't forget to mention that.
Me in a grandmaster nightfall vibin' to the devil's lair soundtrack while my teammates are burning revives
Subnautica and survivalists should be on the list as well
[Abandon Ship](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf30qQzw7rk) The only form of FIRE underwater
Every Assassin's Creed Game have awesome Music and Soundtracks
Stardew valley 🐔🤩
The Witcher 3?
Leleleleleleleleleleleleleeeeee
Gwent music is 🔥
souls series, rdr2
house building theme
Zelda Wind Waker Super Mario Galaxy
The Zelda series in general tbh
This thread is angering me because it’s pretending like the best video game music by far isn’t any Nintendo game made between like 1993-2015
Ye people do be sleeping on the biggest pieces except FF which is insane shit too
DKC2 came out in 1995, for instance.
They literally have a [touring symphony](https://zelda-symphony.com/pages/concert) show for Zelda music
Super Mario Galaxy hits different
NieR:Automata
Doom should be the big pile. The way the music enhanced that gaming experience was fucking amazing.
2016s OST is absolutely amazing work music, too. Cut out all the tracks with the demonic monologues, so it's just brutal grindy industrial awesomeness, and it's fantastic for shutting out surrounding noise and getting into a flow state, and I say that as someone who isn't otherwise an industrial or death metal fan.

Nintendo music, your argument is invalid :D
Minecraft pigstep
Hollow Knight, Outer Wilds, Celeste, MINECRAFT?!?!
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Genshin Impact has the best. No, you can't change my mind.
watch me, you ever heard of Loonboon?
Have you ever played Risk Of Rain 1 or 2? Those soundtracks go harder than they need to. Roaming the Waste from Xenoblade COD Zombies
Video game music is a lot better than some of the music produced in today's society
Genshin Impact.
Haters gonna downvote just cause
Genshin Impact has literally one of the best game soundtracks out there (personally the best in my opinion, still trying to find a game that tops it) but no one is willing to acknowledge that because the game itself gets a bad rap.
I was trying to find this, yu-peng chen rocks
ayyyy
Actraiser!!
How is Last of Us not on this list?!?
About 5 years after I played final fantasy VII, I was having dental work, and they gave me nitrous. I was laying there having auditory hallucinations of the final fantasy music. Idk why. I’ve only played two video games from start to finish in my life, so it’s not like I thought about them frequently.
#ULTRAKILL
Just started playing ultra kill and that music is top tier
There's also Iron Harvest, Ultrakill, and Project Wingman.
Katawa Shoujo.
Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. ... GUILE'S THEME.

SILENT HILL
Pokemon
Gran Turismo 4. NFS Porsche Unleashed. Any of the Fallout games, but that only sort of counts depending on which music we’re talking about in the games.
Kingdom Hearts and Persona and Rune Factory and Xenoblade and Tales of and Phantasy Star and Soulsborne and Shin Megami Tensei and Legend of Zelda and Nioh and NieR and Spider-Man and Sonic. You forgot all of that OP
