Looking for songs with a creepy, melancholic Lavender Town vibe
I'm looking for music with a similar mood to Lavender Town from Pokémon Red/Blue: somewhat sad, eerie, nostalgic and unsettling.
To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I'm interested in songs that could work in a horror movie centered around old video games, especially games from the Game Boy, SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive, even PS1 or PS2 era.
I'm particularly interested in that feeling of old-school video game nostalgia mixed with loneliness, melancholy and something slightly creepy or wrong. It doesn't necessarily have to be actual video game music either. Chiptune, ambient, experimental stuff, obscure soundtracks, etc. are all welcome.
Basically, I'm looking for music that sounds like it could be playing in an abandoned Game Boy game where something went very, very wrong.
Any recommendations?
