By vignette, I mean a little ambient scene thats probably infinitely looped that you could leave on the screen and just let play on and on as an ambient scene that is enjoyable despite not progressing or changing. The background music is a huge part of it but it can also be said that the combined music and video/visual is greater than the sum of either part

Banjo’s House from Banjo Kazooie

    A bunch of scenes in Kentucky route zero, the secret of monkey Island you could do this in game by just wandering around the lava area endlessly, or maniac Mansion: day of the tentacle starting screen is a TV in the distance playing fake late night commercials

    And for fake commercials the radio in vampire: the masquerade - bloodlines between the late night DJ Deb of night and the mud slinging political ads.

      I wonder if GTA has somethint like that, I seem to remember there was a collection or talk radio or something it seems infamous for. I really love the meta tv in tv show movie in movie or media in video game schtick
