Background music: "OST"

Hello! Turns out, OST abbreviation is mostly "slang", as it can be found here: Internetslang.com's entry... Or here: learnersanthem.com... or on Wiktionary.

It may be WP:OR-ish to say the following: I used to see "OST" abbreviation a lot 10 years ago: on Youtube, a lot of game music is posted not as "VGM", but as "OST". For example, here or here.

Besides, modern game music at least counts as "soundtrack": here or here, music from GTA V is considered to be a soundtrack rather than "v.g.m.", and that's just a quick little search for "rockstar releases soundtrack" keywords. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 07:40, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

@81.89.66.133: Sorry, what exactly is this in reference to? Augend (drop a line) 07:43, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Ah I see. If you're talking about this diff, the reason for revert is that the added content doesn't actually provide any encyclopedic value. It offers some trivial synonyms that are best placed in a dictionary. Augend (drop a line) 07:46, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
