Absolutely agree on Hazbin; all style no substance. I think the writing is where the South Park guys have always excelled, even with Hannibal. They are juvenile at face value, but the stories tends to dig into something deeper. I feel like Hazbin and South Park are quite opposite when it comes to style & substance.
I think the big one is the goal or pursuit of the music. VG music is background music there to lend to the game. Most other music does not have that as the reason for its creation, and may be distracting in a game.
I also think that the storage and tech that drove the sound VG is not that far in the past. Wouldn’t it just make sense to just lay into what’s been working and expand on? We are conditioned by certain sounds and there are expectations when we are in certain environments. IMO, VG music to me is sonically distilled dopamine that works best as a supporting role to the task at hand.
