» Sun Apr 12, 2015 5:28 pm It started with the thought that Nords are very metal. Long hair, beards, beer mead, battle and glory, dragons etc. So I tried to think of what the other races would be if they were music. Here is my list:
Nords: Classic metal
Khajiit: Reggae. Also perhaps some of the weird songs from the 70's.
Altmer: Classical music. Thalmor are that modernist classical music which is created with mathematics and sounds awful. Psijics would be that music no one can make any sense of but the person who made it. Traditional Altmer culture would be like Bach, Mozart and the like.
Redguards: I can't help but thinking about Pirates of the Caribbean's soundtrack, because of their sword fighting. But I can't think of a music style that would fit perfectly.
Bretons: Celtic music, or rather: Modern music that sounds celtic. And some goth thrown in for the dark magics.
Orcs: I think I'll settle for hip hop. They don't look like hip hop, they look like very brutal metal, but content wise it fits. Both the "I'm the biggest badass" part and the "going through struggles" part (and also the sixism 
).
Dunmer: Their hairstyles and piercings are punk, but I don't think the rest of Dunmer culture is very punk. Well, except for their misanthropic tendencies and generally negative outlook on things I suppose.
Dwemer: Idk. Industrial?
Bosmer: The music style that Bosmer would be doesn't exist afaik. There is the hippie part and the nature loving part, and there is the bloodthirsty part, but you don't ever hear those in the same music. Or?
Imperials: I think they fit the "Epic movie soundtrack" style better than the Redguards, although it kinda works for both.
What are your thoughts? If the tamrielic races and cultures were music, what would they be?
