I would have to say that... Games, and some media around them (like music someone made about xxx game) are literally nothing but another form of entertainment. If someone made a song about a movie, there would literally be -no- difference.
As far as "gamer culture" makes me think of those people that only play stuff like CoD and went on about casuals and junk, and unfortunately make people not like video games.
Also, as far as video game music > movie music, I would have to agree for the most part. But, my reason is because most movie soundtracks have to be more subtle, because of other sounds, actors talking and most of them are really, really forgettable, imo.
Whereas most have music doesn't have to be subtle, it can be blasting loud and clear, without and real restrictions.
Just my random thoughts. :p

Every type of culture is usually filled with idiots. Why? Because they're people who decide to define themselves as belonging to one certain thing and for some reason that starts to make them lose perspective on how stupid they're being. For gamer culture in specific, since things such as anime and gaming require literally nothing but to sit on your ass and stare at a screen and press buttons, it is naturally more saturated with people who are socially awkward or mentally disabled or just straight up douchebags who think they're better than you over stupid shit like what console you use or what game you play or whatever.
The problem with people who define themselves in a certain culture is that they think their hobby > everyone elses. Literally every hobby I have's culture is filled with idiots like this. To use myself as an example I play a shitload of games, love BMWs, am an engineering student, and primarily listen to heavier metal music. Literally all those those things I listed everyone hates because of the culture that revolves around them. Apart from the gaming shit everyone thinks BMW drivers are snobby assholes who think they're driving a sports car because they own an entry luxury car, all engineering students are assholes who look down upon pretty much everyone just because of the degree they're taking, and metal heads are constantly arguing amongst each other which band can chug the hardest while doing the fastest sweeps on guitar. They're all equally retarded.
Just don't define yourself as being a part of any culture and laugh at the silly people who do, there's no point of arguing with them because they won't change from some guy trying to tell them different on the internet.
Quoted for truth. Couldn't have said it better myself.

The had the video game awards (renamed VGA) yesterday and although I was disappointed in a lot of the results and the show wasn't great, it was 10000x better than it was last year.
