# Video Game Music Videos This Interactive Video Game Music Video Brings Sound to the Virtual World By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-02-24 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-game-music-video References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/02/music-video-game.html) & [archiepelago](http://archiepelago.com/) This video game music video is one of the best ideas for a music video that has ever come out. The [music industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-1) is in a slow declining state while the [video game industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-music) is climbing, so this move makes absolute sense. Brooklyn-based trio Archie Pelago just decided to release their new music video as an interactive video game level. The video game music video works with the song Saturn V and gives insight into the lives and works of the band. It's not new to see a video game video as the main inspiration for a music video, but it's a completely different thing when the music video allows users to interact. This is a great idea for a group that may not have a huge following as it allows them to build a relationship fast with new followers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Music Videos:** The trend of interactive music videos allows for immersive and engaging experiences, providing innovative opportunities for artists to connect with their audience. - **Convergence of Music and Gaming:** The convergence of the music and gaming industries creates new avenues for artists to reach wider audiences and tap into the growing gaming market. - **User-generated Content in Music Videos:** The increasing use of user-generated content in music videos offers a way for fans to actively participate in the creative process, fostering a sense of community and loyalty. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Industry:** The music industry can capitalize on the trend of interactive music videos by exploring new ways to engage with fans and create unique experiences that go beyond traditional music videos. - **Gaming Industry:** The gaming industry can leverage the convergence of music and gaming to enhance the gaming experience, incorporating music as a key element and collaborating with artists to produce immersive gaming soundtracks. - **Digital Content Creation:** The rise of user-generated content in music videos presents opportunities for digital content creation platforms and social media platforms that facilitate collaboration and user participation in creating music video experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Album-Inspired Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cross-country-legacy.md) - [Web-Based VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-of-music.md) - [Musician-Themed Online Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fortnite-festival.md) - [Gamified Music Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixelynx.md) - [Virtual Music Video Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangershow.md) - [Stimulating Audio-Visual Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periphery-synthetic.md) - [Mobile Music Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elynixir.md) - [Gamified Music-Making Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-machine.md) - [Trendy In-Game Music Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roblox-music-hub.md)
