    The music in the game effectively captures a vibrant 1980s vibe, enhancing the immersive and relaxing bar atmosphere with its synth-driven soundtrack. However, some users express disappointment over the use of AI-generated music, feeling it detracts from originality and raises ethical concerns about artist compensation. Overall, the soundtrack is praised for complementing gameplay and setting the mood.

    • “The vibey soundtrack perfectly immerses you in the disco atmosphere, and the simple and comfortable controls allow you to relax.”
    • “The vibe is amazing and really captures that 80s feeling. Mixing drinks, serving customers, and managing the bar feels fun and relaxing. The music and atmosphere make it easy to just chill and enjoy the whole experience.”
    • “Featuring stylized visuals, reactive characters, and a fully original 1980s-inspired soundtrack that keeps the night alive.”
    • “The studio that made this game decided to use AI for image and music generation, which has taken work from real artists and musicians, not just in jobs, but in theft.”
    • “More importantly, I'm disappointed that in the game's description it reads that there is "a fully original 1980s inspired soundtrack," but there's an AI disclaimer.”
    • “Music and art have to be taken and fed into AI to train it before you can get a desired output.”
