I didn't know where to put this.. So it's here! :3

Anyway, I listen to video game music more. Actually it's the only music I listen to these days..

What about everyone else? :3?

Video game tracks have an inherent nostalgic value attached to them (assuming one has played the game from which the music was derived). I do not like listening to music solely for the purpose of listening to music. As such, I tend only to listen to video game music and music in languages I am studying or interested in (if I choose to listen to anything).

I listen to video game music sometimes, don't have anything mainstream at the moment (Or have downloaded anything that was released in 2008 besides TMV's Bedlam In Goliath and Why?'s Alopecia.)

Video game music it is.

Seeing that I want to compose music for video games as a job, and the fact I can stand a little mainstream music, I chose both.

You gotta find the good mainstream music at times. Also, I believe that video game music is an artform that will earn it respect by the mainstream in a few short years.

Grew up on video game music, so I'm going to go with that. I got into mainstream music rather late.

Heh, I'm the reversed. Grew up with mainstream music (Ska and rock) then got into gaming music. I usually enjoy mainstream rap music during a big party or something, but I usually listen to some Aerosmith, Megadeth, KISS and video game music at my private time.

This. I've gotta' go with both. And I don't much like anime music, so I'm not lumping that together with Video Game music. :{

There's like only six anime singles that I honestly enjoyed in my lifetime. Here's a list

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCKg_q1Sk9s (Lupin III '80)

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHEP71Wt_I8...feature=related (Main Theme of Lupin III)

3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-TAxm00jOg (TANK!- Cowboy Bebop)

4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEDEEd1t5xA (Sailor Moon: Moon Revenge Brass Fantasy)

5. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=5293 (Vanessa Mae's performance of Sailor Moon's Outer Soldiers theme)

6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hojDsebgY8A (Sailor Saturn/Hotaru's Theme's)

Granted it that four out of six of the songs from the anime series I enjoyed are jazzy. I can't help having a jazz biased since I grew up listening to jazz. Out of all music genre, I just enjoy jazz the most! I don't mind jazz music in anime and video game music just because I just love fuckin' jazz!

I listen to video game music, almost exclusively. A lot of the mainstream stuff sucks these days, and I've listened to the older ones so much I'm tired of them. But VG music is always good!

I still go back to some mainstream stuff sometimes, though. But not often.
