Speedrun

The music genre of speedrun, often associated with the electronic dance music (EDM) scene, is characterized by its frenetic energy, rapid-fire beats, and pixelated nostalgia. Emerging in the mid-2010s, speedrun music draws inspiration from 8-bit and 16-bit video game soundtracks, chiptune, and Japanese pop culture. Typically featuring breakneck tempos, pulsing synthesizers, and catchy melodies, speedrun music is designed to fuel high-intensity gaming sessions and fuel the competitive spirit of speedrunning. As a genre, speedrun music pays homage to the golden age of video games while infusing it with modern electronic production techniques. Its cultural significance lies in its symbiotic relationship with the gaming community, providing the sonic backdrop for record-breaking speedruns and fostering a sense of camaraderie among gamers. Speedrun music's distinct blend of retrofuturism and hyper-kinetic energy sets it apart from other EDM subgenres, making it a unique and captivating style that resonates with gamers and music enthusiasts alike.
