      my hot take is that even though portal is a masterpiece this song is so cringe because i associate it with unfunny “the narwhal bacons at midnight” type redditors

        You need to get out more.

        The song is a masterpiece on its own.

          the counterpoint to me not liking a song from a Video Game because it of its association with Internet Culture has to be something other than “get out more”

            No, it’s valid because the reason you claim for it to be bad in itself is kinda cringe

        I feel like the association of Portal with that era and that type of person, even though I think most of them probably became different people with age, even though I was practically one of them, makes the song a little harder to enjoy. I am aware of Ellen McLain’s (GLaDOS voice actress) opera creds and think that’s super cool though.

        Sorry to the composer, it is not your fault. Similarly, I think maybe the same thing happened with Undertale. I think I played before the fandom got a bad reputation, so it and its songs are not quite tainted in my mind, in fact I’m a big fan of the game’s use of leitmotifs (am I using the word right?) and really enjoy its music, but if I came in after I saw the fandom, I might like the work less through no fault of the composer.

      My brain defaults to this if I feel the need to fill silence with sound.

      These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I’d describe as “catchy”

        True, i agree with that. I will amend to be:

        1. Lost Woods (TLoZ Ocarina of time)
        2. Song of storms (TLoZ Ocarina of time)
        3. SMW Overworld Theme (Super Mario World)

    My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus “+” indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk “*” indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.

    1. Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)

    2. Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)

    3. Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)

    4. One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)

    5. Golem King - Moonlighter

    6. Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)

    7. Dragonborn - Skyrim

    8. Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)

    9. Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)

    10. Nate’s Theme - Uncharted (*)

    11. Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)

    12. Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)

    13. Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)

    14. Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom

    15. This Song - The Witcher 3 (It’s the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)

    16. Bloody Tears - Castlevania (*)

    But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:

    Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II

      Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.

      Could scream that shit in my car honestly.
