brentalfloss @ocremix Alright y'all. I'm on a mission today to create an umbrella genre term that means "Video game music with lyrics over it". Ideas?

Let's see whatcha got.

EDIT: Inside the mind of djp:

<djpretzel> Hmm now... anime has Filk already

<djpretzel> "Gilk" would be a mutation of that, but I doubt that would work

<anosou> sounds like an amphibian

<djpretzel> I'd suggest the umbrella term have more focus... if it's funny lyrics specifically, that's one thing

<djpretzel> if it's ANY lyrics, that's a little big

<Liontamer> my guess, he probably means funny lyrics

<djpretzel> it's a typographical error, but has come to mean a combination of folk music w/ sci-fi/fantasy media fandom

<Liontamer> What's filk stand for?

<djpretzel> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filk_music

<djpretzel> if there's "Anime Filk" there could be "VG Filk", as a phrase

<djpretzel> anything else would need to probably mix or enjamb VG/VGM/Game with another word, like karaoke, satire, parody, vocal

<djpretzel> VGMbellishment, VGMbarassment... could go honorific and call it a "VGM Yankovic"

<djpretzel> I like that

<djpretzel> anyways, there's my brainstorm

<djpretzel> fancy: Game Libretto

<djpretzel> or VGM Libretto

[Dhsu]

Nerdaoke.

[Bahamut]

Vocal VGM?

[djpretzel]

Vocal VGM?

Or Vocal Game Music, which probablematically shares the acronym VGM. Or Shariq suggested Game Music Vocal. But to me, both of those have issues. Larry missed this:

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:33] <djpretzel> anyways "Game Filk" and "Game Libretto", or VGM instead of Game, those are my top recommendations

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:33] <anosou> Yeah, can't come up with anything re: this ..

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:35] <Shariq> gmv

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:35] <Shariq> game music vocal

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:35] <Shariq>

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:36] <djpretzel> sure, that too... although it's ambiguous with actual game music that happens to be vocal

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:37] <djpretzel> Filk and Libretto both clarify that the emphasis of the genre is adding your own lyrics

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:37] <djpretzel> game music vocal does not, but sounds good

[17:05] <djpretzel> [13:39] <djpretzel> for someone who named their site OverClocked ReMix, I suppose that's the primary barometer

What is this even pertaining to anyway? Are you talking about someone singing over like, Green Hill Zone or something? Is this video game songs that already have lyrics, like that song from Final Fantasy X? Is this just a song about video games with lyrics, like nerdcore or something?

[Melbu Frahma]

Also, what about songs with pre-existing lyrics that can fall into other categories, for example Kingdom Heart's "Simple and Clean" which can be considered J-Pop?

Funny lyrics over instrumental VGM arrangements is my inference to the overall premise. It's brentalfloss, of course.

I plan on doing lots of vocal tracks but I think Flik is a little gay, we can come up with a better vocal-track-genre-name than that. Instead of remix, how about.. vomix..

[Gollgagh]

vomix..

compete with bucket receptacle?

[Dhsu]

More than a little, if his Vision Quest track is any indication.

[The Biznut]

All VGM tracks without vocals must simply be Instrumentals, so lets just go back and add " ~instrumental~" to each track name...

can you imagine?

My real suggestion would be VVGM: Vocal Video Game Music. Bahamut had it right.

[Cyril the Wolf]

Video Game Parody?

VGP?

VGL -> Video Game with Lyrics?

*shrug* just my two cents.

[The Author]

Gamusocal.

Ok ok, maybenot.

That's a pretty good one, you ask me.

[The Author]

Lyricized VGM

[Kidd Cabbage]

Voxmix. I like the alliteration.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

Ooh. I've got one. How about:

Bad.

(j/k.... someone had to.)

[The Author]

How about we give the credit to the master of this art and call it a Flossing?

[OverCoat]

Nerdaoke.

I think "videogameoke" might work

no matter what term we come up with, it'll sound retarded, might as well go all the way.

[HalcyonSpirit]

How about we give the credit to the master of this art and call it a Flossing?

I endorse this motion.

[Capa Langley]

Tubevox. As video games were originally played on tubes (CRT) and vox for vocals, of course.

[Cyril the Wolf]

I too endorse this motion.

Hopefully he'll agree. Damn humble people always ruining good names

[Gollgagh]

Voxmix. I like the alliteration.

I was gonna say voxmox

[Monobrow]

Lip servix

[Gollgagh]

totally no sexual connotations at all
