Is video games music real music?

[Civiliangineer gaming]

In my opinion yes.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

yeah ... even the music you make by banging drums and toying around with your yamaha shs 10 is real music.

[nullable]

It always has been.

Hit song in Japan 34 years ago.

What comes to my mind is a hypothetical scenario, that is if a game dev/pub did a call for user-created music to add into their next game.

Say Rockstar put out a call for independent musicians to send in their stuff and the songs that get picked, will be put into the next Grand Theft Auto Liberty City II or something, all sorted by genre via the in-game radio stations, you know all music would be by independent music winners songs and stuff. Kewl, huh.

Even the commercials could be put out there and users could do do their voice acting and if good enough, get their stuff put into the game too.

That'd be soo rad.
Tubular. Like gag me with a spoon of musical grooviness.

OMG. That is sooo profound.

It's asking, "If my fart is silent and odorless, is it still a fart."
Like, wow - ex·is·ten·tial

I almost exclusively listen to video game music because I don't like lyrics.

the GOAT is Chill Penguin theme/remixes

There is game music with lyrics though.
And other source of music without.

Why would it not be "real music"? What other kinds of music are there that are not "real"?

[Gus the Crocodile]

Well it's not imaginary music.

[ReBoot]

That depends. Yer olde run-off-the-mill bombastic as is common in games isn't really music as far as I'm concerned.

[🍋 Lemonfed 🍋]

unless it's just noises like that crazy bus game then it's real music.

[TGC> The Games Collector]

Some of it could fall under the category muzak, but that's still music.

Its not a Steam-Game, but I really like the music from World of Warcraft for example,
There is a „song“ for every map or dungeon.
I also like the theme music from CS:GO, its like the music from a good action-movie.
