    When I was in a jazz/prog band in 2019 I made my bandmates listen to the original NES Solstice theme and they just couldn't take it seriously. They said it just sounded like beeps and boops to them. I felt like if they couldn't hear the musical composition and tech mastery behind this... then they just weren't real musicians. Or they were pro snobs.
