Hehe, this is so hilarious.
My parents HATE anything that´s about video games, and I was gonna "try" them by playing some Nobuo Uematsu music for them.
I actually started out with this arpeggio-ish Prelude, and they immediately started talking about how relaxing and nice it was.
The sound wasn´t anything special, either!

Then I changed to Time Remains from the *real* FF3, and they still thought it all was beautiful and stuff.
And that was a MIDI file...
I also considered playing Terra (FF6) and Eyes On Me (FF8), but then they had went to sleep.

I promise you they´d feel really embarrassed if I were to tell ´em it was all VIDEO GAME STUFF!

"Was it a video game? Oh... []"

Haha, I sympathize. My mom actually thinks some of it's really pretty and I've let her know it was from a videogame. Some of it she likened to Yes (the band lol) and others to classical stuff (nothing about orff though). My dad however, doesn't like to listen to it simply, 'cause he's "too cool for school" as some would put it. haha. But I have ff6, ff8, and chrono cross. Chrono cross is kinda like really amazing yanni music, that isn't by yanni, and is a whole lot better. Maybe I'l play that for my mom

I've never shown my parents my video game music, on purpose. I sometimes blast my Drakengard soundtrack from my room, but they can't stand it. Not surprising, because it's not soothing, or anything, but still. It saddens me that they can't appreciate it.

So I don't even want to try to force anything else on them.

Friggin' hilarious.
How do parents work, anyway?
So if you talked some fantastic composer into writing stuff for games, then he'd all of a sudden suck?
I mean, if he writes music that fits with the games?
Would that make him suck?

SO, this is apparently parents' logic;
write music for video games, and you'll run out of nice melodic inspiration.
YEAH!!!!!

Are you being sarcastic or something?
