Poll: What music genres do you?

[Kriminal]

When i see a soundbank labelled as "cinematic" or "soundtrack" i just laugh.

WTF does that mean? Its totally meaningless. Is it sounds like the soundtrack from Metropolis, True Grit, Grease, Wolf Creek?

It's different of course! It fits better for soundscapes and building atmosphere since cinematic/soundtracks have a lot of underscores. That's a big difference to for example Dubstep, isn't it?

Depends what the film is, which is why that label is meaningless.

I don't think so, because it is what it is. It doens't matter if not every movie makes use of it, a lot do, and that's what you get with this definition, stuff that works for cinematic media and is often used for it, signature sounds. Rhythmic pattern for underscoring, synthetic orchestral instruments, epic percussion, soundscapes - a lot of things heavily used in cinematic music and less in other genres.
