"I can't listen to this. It's Video Game music and needs to be in a game"

Agreed. I spoiled much of Gitaroo Man by listening to the soundtrack so many times that by the time I was able to play the game I remembered just about every track and nothing was surprising.


I think that chiptune music is too annoying and that's the kind of music that I can't listen to outside of a game. Other than that, 95% of my music collection is vgm music, so there's really no complaint here. If anything, I complain if a song sounds too mainstream (and is), and it instantly forms a negative impression in my mind if it's mainstream

If the vgm music drags on or isn't particularly active, then I'm not inclined to listen to it outside of the game, but I won't refuse to.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
