Hello, fam! We all know that bop games can influence our mood by enhancing our well-being, and, if we speak of P2E ones, our wallets by bringing us money. However, their effect is even more impressive, for they can change our tastes. Are you intrigued? Let’s spill the tea.
The Power Of Gaming
Multiple researchers prove that gaming influences our mindsets positively by fighting depression, enhancing our logic and creativity, boosting our focus, upgrading our brain power, and teaching us higher-level and abstract thinking skills. The thing is that playing video games literally reshapes the brain’s physical structure, giving it a no-cap workout similar to reading, playing piano, etc. And indeed, such training has side effects related to our tastes in music, pop culture, and aesthetics.
Music
The best way to understand how exactly gaming influences our tastes is to explore the taste-shaping mechanic in music, where appreciation of some sound depends on repetition and duration.
Firstly, while diving into the gameplay and completing various tasks, users have some soundtrack or a playlist. As a rule, it is repeated, and the more you listen to a particular song, the more you like it. No magic, fam! This is a simple audio psychology: humans like comfort. Thus, they go for the same harmonies and sounds they have heard. This is probably why many famous songs have the same four chords of a major key, including I, V, VI, and IV. You see, repetition is the mother of all tastes.
Meanwhile, if any bop is on while a gamer is winning, they will likely appreciate it double-fold, even if the song’s volume is low. The thing is that the track will be subconsciously associated with success and other pleasant feelings. Iykyk.
However, duration is always important. If any sound is played for too long, a listener gets irritated. Thus, it should be properly mixed with other cool tracks.
Musicians know the power of gaming and do their best to collaborate with popular titles. For instance, Fortnite had two virtual concerts with Marshmello and Travis Scott. Considering that 96% of Gen Z! representatives play games, such partnerships shape the taste of the whole generation. Reports prove this idea for youngsters state games as their fav sources of new bops, 18% of them generally discover new songs while playing, and 30% oF GenZ users play to listen to music. Wig!
Books And Movies
Gaming is constantly reshaping pop culture. It made geeks cool, proved that cute creatures can be strong, and brought more action to movies. Meanwhile, it also affects one’s taste in stories by introducing people to the basics of gameplay, encouraging them to broaden their hobbies, and, finally, shaping their inclinations.
One may assume that the more a person plays, the less involved they are in reading or watching something. In reality, catchy titles based on novels, comics, or films, are more prone to explore them than people new to these stories.
So, gaming, being the most popular among them, can still be regarded as a bridge to other sources of entertainment. Thus, it introduces people to new habits of spending their time, feeds their interests, and even teaches them to become more concentrated on the explored topic.
Meanwhile, gamers want to spend their non-playing free time in worlds similar to their fav titles. Thus, fans of shooters are more prone to start appreciating thrillers more than other users, players, who have discovered strategies, are more likely to choose detective stories, and roguelike enthusiasts show much passion for surrealistic fairy tales.
Aesthetics
Visuals are a vital component of gaming. Thus our tastes in aesthetics are also influenced by titles. For instance, the retro wave trend is inspired by pixel games. Next, stans of particular titles tend to acquire relevant merch.
As for individuals, the games they play can determine their understanding of beauty. Firstly, gamers can consider humans similar to their fav characters more attractive. Secondly, they can go for conscious and subconscious cosplays of their avatars and even get inspired to achieve the same physique.
Thirdly, they can see some aesthetics for the first time, get attached to them, and start seeking them daily. For instance, players who like minimalistic mobile games in beige and white can cater to their interests in the same home and fashion vibes.
