To me, game music is just any genre that happens to be in a game, unless it's a distinctively videogame-ish genre like chiptunes. Same goes for movies.

Modern game music generally has little to no trouble fitting into a definite genre, but the same can't be said for, say, the original SMB theme...

Some people would notice a startling similarity between early electronic music from the 60s and video game music from the 80s. I say that synthesized video game music belongs in the category of electronic music. But that's a sketchy way to define music, because that just refers to the instruments, not the notation or rhythm or anything. For example, some Sonic the Hedgehog music is clearly influenced by P-Funk.

Methinks Weegee doesn't really listen to a lot of "modern game music".
That was a joke.

By "modern", I mean that they're generally fully orchestrated and arranged to include stylistic elements of actual, definable music genres. I can't think of any examples off the bat, but... yeah.

If I find anything good, I might listen to it, but I mainly listen to Gangsta Rap and Classic Hip-Hop. Most of Hip-Hop/Rap nowadays isn't too lyrical or enjoyable, with the exception of a few artists.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

I love rock, and I mean real rock.  I don't think any of these new pop groups can be classified as "bands" because they don't play instruments.  But I do love the old classics like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, etc.  Folk like Neil Young and Bob Dylan, and Psychadelic like the Beatles.

I also love Canadian rock groups such as Tragically Hip, 54-40, Crash Test Dummies, Barenaked Ladies...I urge you to check them out.

This statement actually does make a lot of sense. Bands play live instruments. Groups usually don't.

nensondubois: Uh, Crystal Castles or 8-Bit Weapon?
bullykoopa: The '90s are not vintage.
Also, when was the last time one of these "groups" was popular?
That was a joke.
