I feel like Fallout's genre should encapsulate the bleakness of the world they live in with all the melancholy and hardiness, with maybe a tinge of hope and romance to keep the vibe similar.
If the apocalypse occurred the music wouldn't be bright and happy to cheer people up, it would be dark and desolate to fit the vibes of listeners. Going against that would polarise people. Listening to bossa nova while you slay a mutated beast gives a little bit of mixed emotions.
Sure, you could make the argument that those living in bunkers don't experience the full horrors of everything above, but staying in an unnatural, metallic hellscape isn't exactly lovely either. Music isn't exclusively to change your mood and make you feel better, it's to make you feel more comfortable with the emotions that you're -already- having, to sort of ease you into it or maybe make you feel better by knowing that there are others going through the same stuff.
Correct me if i'm wrong though, i've never played fallout after all.

There's the Maslow pyramid of needs, and most people aint over the first few steps. There might be a few people in the Self-Actualization step, but it would needs a way to share it.
Means to share music are scarce in Fallout ( vinyls, for example ) and it was not as easy to produce new music, or even new genres for that.
So yeah, musician will be scarce, and will hardly be able to share their music, making new music rare in post-apocalypse.

Fallout isn't so cooky in the first 2 games, and the 50s music bs wasn't there either. New Vegas took steps to fix it, but it was still trapped in the Bethesda style. 4 also did, but didn't try very hard. I'm glad you called this out tho, I like the music but it's always bothered me

To be fair, the guns that turn people into goo were very much invented -before- the Great War. Like, I agree that musical innovation should have happened, but the example is flawed because the plasma tech wasn't invented by post-War people.

This is why the ost for Fallout 1 and 2 where so great. They carried with them the actual weight of the post apocalypse. Bethesda just looked at the intro's and was like -This is what the ENTIRE wasteland must listen to. -

It could also be that they want to listen the music that was around at the time of the destruction to remind themselves of a world gone by and that chaos in the sense that they are in can still be temporary.

to think, Safety Fan and Bureaucratic Wunderkind Brian David Gilbert was once making analytical videos regarding the musical stylings of the fallout series, and now hes voiced two characters in Fallout 76

Nuclear generators and terminals. In fallout five they could make a simple DAW for your terminal that you could export your tracks on a holotape, then have a quest to get one of your songs on the radio

-Art makes life worth living- is a really sad statement when you think about it. Do you not have friends or somebody to love? Your greatest joy in life comes from the consumption of media? Really?

Personally I like fallouts music especially NV. I just feel like it-s needs a larger selection. Listening to the same 10 songs over a 50 hour play through is exhausting

there comes a point while watching this video that you realize that ska is coming. The horror of that realization is something unreplicated by any other form of art.

A time span of almost 200 years between games is kinda crazy. The Sole Survivor would see the FO76 player as old as we see George Washington

3: 03 don't the performers at the Tops play fallout related covers of country songs? I know it isn't really unique but it's still a different song

Kinda want an edit of Fury Road with a ska soundtrack now. Couldn't understand most of the dialogue anyway, the trumpets won't be a problem.

You may have forgotten one very important purpose of any form of art, which is -expressing yourself- which is where sad music comes from

This raises a good point, and always bothered me. Generally though, I just accepted it as part of Fallout-s identity.
