I really love stereotypically sounding Oriental music in old games. For whatever reason this kind of music coming out of Game Boy speakers hits me just right. Feel free to post other examples.

I'm sure there's something about Eastern scales and their sharpness that feels at home with limited sound channels but I'm too retarded to know

>>10583727
no, that's where you're wrong. By broadly calling it "oriental music" you're creating the stereotype. If you were to qualify the music by identifying the time period of the music, your statement would offer enough context to avoid being characteristically stereotypical. As it is, positing "oriental music" insinuates an ignorance of the subject matter and hence a characteristically stereotypical interpretation or lacking understanding of the subject matter

>mfw S&B Foods, a company located in Japan describes their Golden curry product as Oriental
I already knew you were full of shit but seeing things like that right out in plain view makes me chuckle a bit. Literally every Chinese person I've ever met used the term and other South East Asians use the term too. Things from the parts of East Asia traditionally occupied by East Asians and most Central Asians and Southeast Asians racially categorized as "Mongoloid". Unless you're using the term as the Romans did Whitu Piggu go home.

it's just semantics, despite what your politbrain is attempting to tell you. Calling something oriental simply conveys very little about the subject in question. You can use the word, but you've got to ask yourself what you're actually saying; but you don't care about that, you just want to call people libs on the internet

What does this have to do with anything said here
OP is talking about a specific cliche and not "oriental music" in general. Gamelan is also "oriental" but that's not the kind of sound OP and other people in the thread are seeking, is it?
