Before deciding the music genre for your game soundtrack you should ask yourself the following questions:

• Who’s my target demographic?
• What are the musical tastes of my target market?
• Which are the music genres normally used for my game genre?
• What is my expectation for the music?

You can action the questions above following the 4 following steps:

1. Identify the player type of your game.
2. Understand the musical tastes of your player type.
3. Figure out the music genres for your game genre.
4. Pick a music genre mediating between the previous points and your idea of the music.
