I basically agree. Zeppelin is old for me and I'm 37. I know that there are a lot of classic rock fans out there amongst Gen X and Millennials, but it's a niche genre.
I [i]don't[/i] agree that they should have put modern pop/rap/rock in their commercials, but it would have at least made more sense than stuff from before I was born. Their target audience is teens through mid 20s after all (based on age polls in the forums).
I always prefer music that matches or at least emulates the music/mood you expect to see in game. Though Bungie does have a history of tongue-in-cheek advertising, so it's not surprising that the ads don't match the tone of the game.
[i]While I'm baffled by their choice of music in the ads, I just let it go, as it is [b]typical[/b] of Bungie ads.[/i]
The only time music in an ad/trailer ever made me kind of angry was in the Dark City trailer. They used a track called Sleep Now by Howard Hughes, which is absolutely awesome, but very different than the music and mood of the movie. With a movie trailer, I actually expect to get a taste of what's in the actual movie... In this case I went in expecting a more action packed and well scored movie like The Crow. Instead I got a slow movie, with a decent climax and a completely different musical style.
While having a very different mood in an ad or trailer isn't exactly atypical, as there have been many other instances where advertisements and products with not aligned. But I definitely think they should try to at least stick to music that resembles the in-game/movie score or a song that on the OST at least (if it's going to be a pop/rock/rap/etc song).
