Liontamer Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 http://twitter.com/brentalfloss/status/16239074275 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Vocal VGM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? <Liontamer> my guess, he probably means funny lyrics Funny lyrics over instrumental VGM arrangements is my inference to the overall premise. It's brentalfloss, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I plan on doing lots of vocal tracks but I think Flik is a little gay More than a little, if his Vision Quest track is any indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Video Game Parody? VGP? VGL -> Video Game with Lyrics? *shrug* just my two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capa Langley Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Tubevox. As video games were originally played on tubes (CRT) and vox for vocals, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
