A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Swap music with Graphics or Story and I’m with you on most games.
IGN's review of Starfield has zero mention of the music, same with its Fallout 4 review.
Just checked The Verge - also not mentioning the music of Starfield at all.
In my opinion, music is what turns a good game into a great game.
Eh, that's very subjective. A ton of people (me included) mute the music and have something else in the background (with exceptions, of course).
Music has always been the part I've cared the least about. Out of the thousands of hours I've wasted on games, the only video game song I can think of out of the blue is the Mario theme song. (And Raphael's battle song in bg3 because I just fought him; that shit was pretty cool.) It always surprises me when I see OSTs included in deluxe editions because I think, who's going to listen to 2 hours of instrumentals from a game they played 5 years ago. To each their own I guess.
Very true.
But then again, it's a Bethesda game. You already know what the music going to be.
Other than the fallout radio and main menu music for the rest, I have no idea... I always turn the music off if it's coming from a non-immersive source.
You also already know the quality of the story and gameplay. Seems they didn't buck the trend this time.
No, you don't, because Fallout 4 was particularly trash on both counts. It's explicitly why I haven't even subbed to Gamepass or anything for Starfield after growing up obsessed with Oblivion, FO3, FONV, and Skyrim, as well as buying the Pip Boy Edition of FO4 because I was so excited for it.
Yup. It's been twenty years since they started the whole "player cannot fail and they must succeed at everything" gameplay ideal. Anyone still expecting better is playing themselves.
The Elder scrolls series had always fantastic music.
It's been the same music for 20 years.
Oh look it's another rendition of the Morrowind title theme.
