Video Game Music

Video Game Music, or VGM, emerged in the late 20th century as arcade machines replaced pub pints as the go-to social activity for the youth, proving that a Nintendo soundtrack could become as iconic as any chart-topping hit. Characterised by catchy melodies and an alluring pixelated charm, it often sounds like a delightful mix of classical compositions and bleeps and bloops, making you feel either like a hero or utterly perplexed whilst you jump on turtles. The genre has grown so influential that it now fills concert halls, proving that sometimes, the true magic is not in the gaming but in the anthems that keep you pressing 'start'.
