Default Re: Rhythm Games, A Long-running Niche: A video essay?

Aight, I'm down to see this happen. Keep us posted

My own personal answer is that it would have stayed mainstream had Konami been willing to deliver solid ports of the games and Activision not over saturated the Guitar Hero brand, playing into the cartoony Rock Star angle so much that people just felt they had to be growing out of it nly 2 years after the first release.

Cost of production and music rights becoming more expensive because of Rock Band's success probably didn't help.

It's from 2001. I remember because I used the term to refer to the series and got corrected by Jonathon Matthews/Disco Man while driving on I-75 back in 2008

It specifically was used in the CS release of GF4th / DM3rd

That said, I agree the script should be changed as Storn suggest, lol.
