VGM is not a medium, just as it's not a genre. At best, you can say that particular formats or hardware were a medium (SID, S-SMP, etc.), but contemporary VGM isn't appreciably different from music you'd listen to anywhere else. So you're basically asking, "Has the golden age of ALL MUSIC passed?," which is a pretty silly question.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I don't know much about combinatorics, but it's easy enough to find the number of unique combinations of 12 tones, given n notes to work with: it's just 12^n.
4 notes = 12^4 = 20,736 unique melodies 5 notes = 12^5 = 248,832 unique melodies 6 notes = 12^6 = 2,985,984 unique melodies And so on. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

If you're worried about that, you could calculate it in terms of intervallic leaps. There are 12 intervals, and n-1 "gaps" for a sequence of n notes, so it would be 12^(n-1) instead. I think that's right, anyway.
In any case, you're probably correct about the amount of rubbish. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
