An old friend, pointing to the soundtrack to The Day the Earth Stood Still, remarked that Nothing says, "Little green men approaching" quite like a theremin...in this case, TWO theremins!, to which I had to reply that "Nothing says 'here comes an ass in a perm and a leisure suit' better than a vibraslap and a heavy brass section." So between the two of us, we've just got the 1950s sci-fi and 1970's action film music genres down.
[We're still working on a pithy formulation of the early 21st century aspiring-to-hipness genre, with the obligatory faux-Philip Glass enharmonic common tone arpeggiated turn-around chord sequences.]
