hey tell me your favorite riff :3 (or the equivalent of a "riff" in electronic/hip hop/whatever else you're into. a repeating part played by a nonvocal instrument that gives structure to the song)
mine's this one that starts at 4:04, timestamp placed slightly before for context. i have been obsessed with this album for 11 years now...

the part that starts at 4:50!! it's the most memorable part of risk of rain 2 to me, and i get hyped up every time it starts up in a run!!
oh this rips. i've always been somewhat interested in risk of rain 2 but never actually dived in, i had no idea it had a 90s/00s guitar virtuoso-core soundtrack lmao, that's so sick!!
Thank you for reminding me to go listen to this soundtrack. Really liked the first one
i'm struggling to think of a specific riff for this buuuuut here's a sick bassline which has been living rent free in my head for the last like 3 years. it's not a riff but it's close? i guess?

100% counts as a riff for the purposes of the question, thank u! in fact it's riff-like enough that i want to hear someone play it with string bends on a guitar...
I think most of the music I love has a good riff in there somewhere, so it's hard to pick. But today I'll go with the beginning part of whale song. It's beautiful and catchy
i didn't know this band and loved this song, thank you :3 i liked the revisit on the opening riff at the end + distortion and octaves
https://youtu.be/SP9GPsdga6g?t=55 you've GOTTA love that guitar with the BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
wow ok i hadn't heard this one yet! ggst continues to be absurdly fun!
A.B.A. IS SO FUN TO PLAY MY GOD!!!
and the theme hits super hard! harder than my abusive parents :')
I have yet to really figure out the difference between riffs, licks, and hooks, so I may be talking about the wrong thing here, but the electric guitar thing that plays after each line of the verse in this song rattles around in my brain constantly: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=98XFrVREkm8
i'll take really any instrument thing tbh, i'm not a cop, but i would say this counts anyway :p very pleasant song, thank you!
This is the first one that comes to mind (I'm sonic trash)
also sonic trash. i should start using those notes more too :p
