Imagine you're making a SCBW movie (not SCII), and you had to pick music. It should be a highlight movie. What would you pick?
Plz tell me via answering the poll above. The Bands mentioned are only examples to show which kind of genre I mean. You can always mention other Bands/Genres.
Gogo!

If your goal is to do a good job then the answer is, it depends on the content of the video. When I think back to the pimpest plays videos, they did a great job (2002,2004 are the ones I remember) of choosing the music to meet the mood and tempo of what was 'going on' in the video. The genre of music by itself almost doesn't matter.

Well, strongly depends. I have a little experience with making movies. For what I know the music has a strong influence on the success (qualitiy) of the work. This is why I (at least once in my life) want to have a soundtrack before making the movie. I want to hear what people expect (imagine) from a soundtrack. I always hear people complaining so I try to get a little feedback before I the most is done.
If you're interested what I done this far check this link here:

If you use the latest FireFox with the Plug-In ADBlock Plus you won't get annoyed by ADs in the stream.

voted for classic not that I like it that much but maybe it could be kinda cool... And also I never heard any of the other options but I hate all the wild PL/OSL/MSL and pimpest plays songs that we had in the past. Actually its the only thing I dont like about progaming, but guess the music cant fit everybody everywhere. Anyways good initiative and good luck to you sir

As far as I can remember, I've always associated hardcore music with BW. I don't even like it, but it always seems to fit.
|
I listen to electronic music.
|
Yeah, electronic is the big missing genre. Not only that, but it's so diverse at this point that if you wanted to actually collect a broad sample including stuff as far from modern as Mozart, then you probably deserve 2 electronic categories. It's certainly more deserving than punk, metal, and hardcore (I don't mean in terms of preference, but in terms of volume of popular/modern music to number of your poll categories).
To actually answer the question though, I think you should dub it out.
EDIT: Wait a second, are you me in high school?

The answer to your question is the theme music from Tron:Legacy. Daft Punk are simply awesome at creating a mood.
If no that, then something electronic.

I think most SC scenes go well with powerful music. I think some classic music(Dvorak and Mahler in particular), movie soundtracks and some metal pieces fulfill that.
But the big problem is that obtaining the rights to use a piece is difficult... There are some creative common versions of classic pieces.
|
Voted Alternative because I think Muse falls under alternative rock, and I think Muse is an awesome band =D
Songs like Supermassive Black Hole and Uprising might suit particular situations in SC.
|
Voted classic by default but its probably not too good for bw 
|
Voted Hardcore, I think you can't go wrong with Hardcore music and BW 
|
KPop is the only choice for a Sc movie. :3

A mixup of a bunch of different rap songs with violent lyrics.
