The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 had a massive impact on my taste in music.
Need for Speed was that series for me. Pendulum, Justice, The Qemists, Junkie XL, Hyper, Madeon, Feed Me, Nine Inch Nails, Celldweller, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, Haezer... Man NFS had some killer soundtracks.
Riders on the Storm. But afair it was Snoop Dogg who made the Version for NFS.
This but WipEout
I just wanna skate skate skate skate skate skate
Bladers gonna hate hate hate hate hate hate
Skate it off, skate it off
Thanks i hate it
How about need for speed most wanted 2005
So here I am.
Doing everything I can.
Holding on to what I am,
Pretending I'm a super man!
You are in my brain
What's so great about Taylor Swift? Everyone talks about how "great" Taylor Swift is. Taylor Swift isn't so great. She never got her picture on a bubble gum card. Have you ever seen her picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who's never had their picture on a bubble gum card?
I still play Tony hawk soundtracks on Spotify in my car
Someone please make a custom ROM of THPS2, but with all the songs changed to be AI-powered covers of the soundtrack by Taylor Swift.
Noooooo
Yeah. AI covers!
Edit. I completely missed that you said ai powered, lol. Fistbump
Is the same way, but with the Pikmin series
Who?
I know some of us don't consider later seasons canon, but imagine hearing that from a little girl who hung out with Billie Eilish.
If I told AI to make a pop album Taylor Swift's music is what it would compose
He would probably rock a mean parody
Thank you for reminding me. I am about to release the first Al powered AI bot. It only responds in comedic polkas.
WeirdAI sounds like a good time.
It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime
What better place than here, what better time than now?
All hell can't stop us now!
If it's not in Vice City, I don't want to hear it.
Hold The Line brother!
"Hate" is a strong word, but I really, really, really don't like you.
Same, dude. THPS2 was massively influential for my generation.
Never been a skater myself after having had a neck injury in third grade, when I first tried it. But the music stuck.
S-tier soundtrack on THPS2, hard agree OP
if I die before i wake..... at least in heaven i can skate.....
My brother's friend died young when we were in school, and definitely played Tony Hawk.
My brother bought him this song for the funeral. Not sure if the parents appreciated/understood it, but it was a nice thing nonetheless.
Fully, a MASSIVE amount of what I'm into now came from Tony Hawk games and [adult swim] and the trajectory that put me on. [adult swim] was for sure the MTV of my generation.
By the time I was watching MTV, it was still some TRL and music vids, but also a big dose of Room Raiders, etc... And it eventually fell out of fashion. [AS] definitely had their finger on the pulse of what the cool cats were to tho. Such a hip scene. I still vividly recall a bump for Boondocks featuring Flying Lotus' song Massage Situation that felt mind blowing.
Weird to think where I'd be without either.
This is why I am fucking terrified of Gen Alpha raised on Elsagate-style youtube shorts.
Wonder what the media trajectory of growing up watching your beloved cartoon friends unexpectedly mutilated as their chubby little baby fingers scroll into the weird part of youtube
We are gonna get some uniquely fucked up people in the next two decades.
Pretty sure she was not born yet when the first one came out
She's 34 and the first Pro Skater came out in 1999
Oh yeah, I remember all her albums from when she was 10 :D
being in a video game doesn't mean the music is good....
Bruh, seriously? Have you even heard the Tetris theme played in all its glory on a motherboard internal speaker? That shit slaps.
I learned how to play Tetris on bass. It annoys the hell out of everyone when I play it. I love it.
I would always make one of my friends play the Banjo Kazooie theme on bass back in the day lol.
lol kind of what i was getting at... for any devs in here, the surest way to make someone despise what you consider to be "good music" even more than they already do is to FORCE them to listen to it. saying that because i'm doing another playthrough of death stranding.
oh, the choices are listen to your fucking terrible music, or have no audio at all? guess i'm playing as a deaf person then.
i would never try to impose the music i like on someone else. wtf even is that?
Jesus Christ. I met my ex-girlfriend through mutual music tastes. We both followed bands that are well under the national radar.
I couldn't take her to bars because she would load up the jukebox with hours worth of the music we listened to.
I'm the first to admit that it's an acquired taste, not necessarily something you want to blast throughout a bar full of drunks who don't know it and more likely than not won't like it.
This happened over and over. Got thrown out of a couple places because she would get in fights over it.
yea, i listen to death/black/doom metal, and i learned early on that although the jukebox is open to everyone, the music isn't.
Where do you even find a jukebox, that plays Darkthrone?
What I found via the experiences I relayed is that most jukeboxes will allow you to download just about anything. Too niche for an old school unit that has a fixed number of CDs in it, but not too niche for the Internet.
Makes sense. I wasn't aware those existed. Where I come from jukeboxes aren't really a thing. The only one I ever encountered was really old school and only had vinyl records from the Elvis Presley era.
