I think FPS and Racing games oh and Hack n Slashers (the worst one) get the brunt of crap music now that I think about it. Lots of crap metal, and songs that throw off the tempo of the game instead of support it are included for filler. Another thing, I like games where the music can change depending on the tempo of the game but some lay it on too thick and it gets annoying (Suikoden III?s music forced the mood). But I think there is a loss of quality and originality, as well as an increase in the ineptitude of its use in many games today. I think game makers are more focusing on the effects part of the sound and the music is getting neglected because of that.
