How do you define "epic music?" - Cinematic music that speaks to the soul (lemmy.ca)

The answer to this would be good to include in the sidebar so people would have a better idea what’s ok to post.

Epic music is its own genre, but it can also be used to describe music more broadly - music from other genres that evokes a feeling of awe or other strong emotion.

The, uh, other place’s epic music community describes it this way:

“Music that speaks to the soul either lyrically, melodically, instrumentally, aurally, rhythmically, vocally, technologically, emotionally, temporally, or in some other profound way.” (a broad definition that would encompass multiple genres)

What kind of music would you like this community to focus on?

EDIT:

I just came across ascallion's post on [email protected] from 2 months ago where they described it as Cinematic music that speaks to the soul.

That description answers my question.

Thanks for this, finally getting my shit together. I've updated the sidebar to accept epic music in the broader sense.

Since you're more on top of things, if you want to be a mod of this community, let me know.

Good to see you're back!

Nice job with the update.

I appreciate the offer but I've tried being a mod in the past and have come to realize I'm just not suited for it.
