Why Animal Crossing Music Sounds Nostalgic

Animal Crossing music has a completely unique feel to it. Rather than the purely fun, upbeat aesthetic you might expect from just looking at the game, the music always has this slightly tainted undercurrent - a kind of world-weariness that punctuates the optimistic exterior. This feeling adds to the mostly upbeat, simple melodies to create some truly poignant musical moments. 0:00 - 3 Steps to Animal Crossing Music 0:52 - Animal Crossing 6:05 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons 10:13 - Animal Crossing: Wild World 15:23 - Outro PATREON:   / 8bitmusictheory   Check out my album: https://8bitmt.bandcamp.com/album/let...
