Just noticed all heist movies and shows have a very typical kind of music in the scenes where the heist is actually playing out. Mid-tempo, upbeat, kinda roundy notes… does the genre have a name?
Not just me, right? You’ve all noticed this?
I realized because wife was watching something and I wasn’t paying attention, and music came on and I asked “is this a heist thing?” and it was.
oh totally, spotify has entire lists of "heist music" - there was a whole era from like '95 to 2005 with a bunch of movies that all sort of coalesced around the similar vibe of swingy suave hero tracks + the plinking tense maraca and bongos 'crime taking place' tracks
