Cinematic

Cinematic music, which began to gain traction in the late 20th century, is essentially the soundtrack of our imaginations and often evokes more emotion than your last three heart-to-heart conversations combined. With sweeping orchestral arrangements and a penchant for dramatic crescendos, it sounds like the soundtrack to your life, just with better instrumentation and fewer awkward pauses. It's become the go-to for trailers, making even the lamest film seem like a must-see, because who doesn't want to give their popcorn a thrill?
