I’m in my 40s now and the music that resonates with me the most is from the 80s

While GTA VI is clearly set in the modern era, the decision to place the game in Vice City surely must surely be based on the huge nostalgia people have for GTA Vice City, and a lot of that comes from the soundtrack, so do you think they’re going to lay it on heavy with the 80s stuff?

For me, in GTA V, everytime this absolute banger comes on in the car I know I’m going on hit and run spree…

 

[Black_Stride]

Theyll be a radio station for oldies.

Otherwise itll be music that makes sense for the era.

 

[The_Observer]

Mostly modern music, but I’m 99% sure they will include classic radio(s) and songs as well, like in GTA V. Many people expect it who loved Vice City.

 

[amigastar]

Although Vice City is a masterpiece i never was a fan of 80s music.
I hope its modern music.

 

[Badlucktroll]

they should put this song on there

 

[DKehoe]

As others have said, there might be a radio station with that theme but I would think most of the music will be contemporary.

 

[ComputerBlue]

There better be an all 80s radio station.

Anyway, there was a band recently from the 80s who came out saying they didn’t want to put their song in VI and turned down Rockstars offer because the pay for it wasn’t good. So it’s confirmed there will be 80s music, we just don’t know how much.

Rock Star Tells Rockstar to ‘Go F*** Yourself’ After ‘Extremely Low’ Offer to Use Hit Song in GTA 6 - IGN

A founding member of British synth-pop band Heaven 17 has alleged Rockstar offered the three writers of hit song Temptation $7,500 each for its use in Grand Theft Auto 6 — a figure he has flat out rejected.

If anyone from RockStar’s reading, bring these back…

 

[Hrk69]

Oh, we’re definitely getting some bangers

I hope its modern music.

 

[tusharngf]

We need tracks like this

 

[diffusionx]

OP, Miami is a modern city. It did not fall into the ocean in 1989. People live there and it has a culture and it's not eternal Don Johnson. Time to get with the times grandpa.

 

[MiguelItUp]

There will definitely be an 80's station I'm sure. But it won't heavily consist of it because it doesn't fit the period that the game takes place.

 

[poodaddy]

This opinion skeeves me out. Gonna go back to listening to my 85 thrash playlist.

Best Soundtrack ever!

 

[amigastar]

Best Soundtrack ever!

Don't get me wrong as a Soundtrack it was perfect, it was fitting and made the world come really alive. I'm just not into the whole 80's music, sorry.

 

[CGNoire]

I hope so.

We will atleast get a retro station.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

FlashFM most likely.

 

[Hunter 99]

Just give me this so I can relive my vice City ps2 days.

 

[V1LÆM]

no. it's obviously set in modern times/present day.

there might be a station for 80's stuff but i doubt they are gonna go hard with the 80's vibe. just because it's vice city doesn't mean it has to be 80's.

 

[noob smokes]

Just reuse the vice city ost it was perfect

 

[intbal]

It will be 100% Taylor Swift.

 

[lh032]

nikki minaj and kpop

 

[squidilix]

GTA5 Radio Track sucks maybe the worst of any GTA (even Stories), so I don't expect a much better sountrack for GTA6.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

There was a leak I can't remember when.

There will be definitely a Radio Station with 80s music. Johny Hates Jazz was mentioned with the song shattered dreams.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

You don't have to wait GTA VI to enjoy 80s goodness you know.

 

[Markio128]

I wouldn’t mind a bit of 60’s and 70’s stuff included - a bit of Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd would be awesome.

 

[kruis]

Although Vice City is a masterpiece i never was a fan of 80s music.

[CLW]

Don't get me wrong as a Soundtrack it was perfect, it was fitting and made the world come really alive. I'm just not into the whole 80's music, sorry.

 

[Syphon Filter]

it will be woke music since the game will be woke.

 

[amigastar]

Excuse me for having a different taste than you

 

[intbal]

it will be woke music since the game will be woke.

I'm not sure what woke music is.

Maybe this:

 

[Drew1440]

I can tell you Heaven17 won't be in it.

 

[Iced Arcade]

hope not

 

[YCoCg]

Did you even see the amount of Radio Station GTAV has at the moment? No doubt there'll be a few 80s and oldies stations but also trap and grime, etc, there's like 20+ slots on the dial.

 

[intbal]

Maybe they'll try to future-proof the game by having nothing but AI-created songs that are just "in the style" of all the various genres.

 

[DAHGAMING]

I hope so but we will probably get aload of mumble rap, Taylor Swift, Ed sheeran, you know, all that real gangster shit.

 

[DAHGAMING]

I'm not sure what woke music is.

Maybe this:

I forgot this, I remembe hearing this shit in Call of Duty lobbies back in the day .

The most you are going to get is a 80s station.

The soundtrack is going to be full of shitty mumble rap, Sabrina Carpenter unseasoned chicken breast music, and somehow the rock station will probably be full of Twenty One Pilots or some other trash tier band.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

This song is a banger. I'd be curious to hear a remake that modernizes the synth sounds because the groove, structure and hooks are great but the sound quality ain't the best.

 

[RAIDEN1]

I would be surprised if they had this on the radio station:

 

[Madserb2023]

It will likely have an 80s radio station but it's going that have modern music as it looks like it's set now.

 

[HogIsland]

It would be crazy if Southern rappers like Kodak Black and Rick Ross weren't in full effect. The game has TikTok in it. It's not a period piece like Vice City.

 

[Myths]

Mandatory

 

[Trilobit]

The songs I want to hear when I'm cruising at night with my freshly stolen car:

Spoiler: More

So essentially this vibe:

 

[bender]

Excuse me for having a different taste than you

 

[amigastar]

 

[YCoCg]

I would be surprised if they had this on the radio station:

Vice City FM, GTA IV/Episodes from Liberty City

So essentially this vibe:

Emotion 98.3, Vice City Stories

Rockstar rarely reuse songs.
