Why is videogame music so much more memorable than film music?

[David Parker]

Each time i listen to a videogame song, i remember it perfectly, but i can't say the same for films:

You can’t tell me that John Williams or Morricone scores are unmemorable.
If anything you probably remember the video game music because of the short 30-60 second loops

[Jaxson Baker]

Because film and tv music actually helps create tension and builds on emotions, unlike cheap electronic video game music.

Film music works to set a mood appropriate for the scene. Video game music may also aid in setting a mood, but it's main focus is on keeping you engaged.

[Austin Adams]

They are more "memorable" because you often hear the same songs over and over again while playing a game.

>Star Wars
>Ghostbusters
>Lord of The Rings
>the entire genre of musicals
Besides, the reason (for you) is that videogame songs usually have longer runtimes , giving them more time to gel in your head. Also you probably play more videogames than watch movies.

[Angel Myers]

there are videogames with good music, but almost none where I'd actually want to listen to it outside of playing the game

[Daniel Diaz]

Western composers for films and TV make generic orchestral suites to give atmosphere to the scene. They have absolutely no value outside of the scene they are used in. Meanwhile, the Japs make a lot more money off soundtrack sales, so they put in the effort to give their tracks memorable melodies.

There are exceptions, of course, but for the most part this is true. Maybe one out of a hundred movies have a soundtrack worth listening to independently.
