    Jazz has developed for over 100 years by now. If a game soundtrack is “jazzy”, it’s probably in the “easy listening” corner. But there aregwere hardcore musicians who tried to invent new things in the genre.

    Imagine only ever playing 2D Mario games and someone shows you Dark Souls. Yeah, it’s not really easy to get into when you haven’t grown into the medium. But that doesn’t mean both aren’t valuable.

      You have literally no idea what you’re talking about.

      Go and google the soundtrack for “Bully.” Observe the funk/jazz fusion of genius composer and performer Shawn Lee. Then come back and say: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have opened my mouth when I didn’t know what I was talking about.”

      I’m not talking about jazz-ish soudntracks. I’m not talking about jazz-like soundtracks. These soundtracks are ACTUAL JAZZ. They just happen to be on videogame soundtracks. Now, the meme is funny because it seems that jazz goes with videogames, even when you’re exposing it to people who generally don’t listen to jazz.

      But, again, don’t fucking talk about shit that you don’t know about.

      EDIT: also, there’s no way to disgust me faster than “hey, the music I listen to is awesome because of how hard it is to listen to it.” Fucking gross. Get out of here with that snob shit, man. I can’t even tell if you’re trolling.

      EDIT 2:

      Imagine only ever playing 2D Mario games

      Uh-huh. And you think those can’t get turbo-difficult? That’s another thing you don’t know about, but you’ve got no problem talking about, anyway. Go take a look at the Mario romhack scene. The harder levels in that scene will make any of your “git gud” Souls-like players cry like babies.

              Exasperation at what? People enjoying things that are too “low level” for him to accept, without registering his disdain? People knowing stuff that maybe he doesn’t know?

              That’s something to get fucking exasperated about?

              Why can’t YOU just admit that he was a fucking snob?

              I realize HE never will, but that’s what snobs do. They will never, ever admit what they are, because they have substituted incredibly specific preferences in place of an actual personality. They’ve got nowhere to run. They have to keep pretending that they’re correct, for the whole of their natural lives.

              But you don’t have to fucking defend them. I can’t think of anything more pathetic than white-knighting for snobs.

                  Ohhhhh, okay. I was pretty confused, actually. Sorry.

                  That’s the problem with being a naturally angry person. When something confuses me, but also could be annoying as fuck, I don’t start with the “maybe this is a mistake” option.

                  I really should start doing that, more often.

        Wow, what an asshole reply that purposefully misunderstood my comment. Not going to engage.

          I understood fine. There’s no way to misunderstand snob-ass comments like:

          “jazzy,” in the “easy listening” corner.

          You’re being a fucking snob and now you’re salty because I’m calling you out on it.

          Music being hard to listen to doesn’t mean it’s good. But being “better than the average peasants at listening to music” is probably one of the few things you think you’ve got going for you. So you’re obviously not going to let it go, just because I pointed out how pathetic it is.

          I mean, I did realize that when I replied.
