Just noticed how often online videos or games have haram music in them, usually in the background, or in case of game, when the boss fight occur. What do you do when this happen?
(P.s yes I asked my marja already, and their answer is

- Any music which is lahwī and deviates people from the way of Allah is ḥarām. Lahwī and deviating music is that which due to its characteristics keeps human beings away from Allah, the sublime, and away from moral merits and drives them towards sinful acts and carelessness.
- To distinguish the subject of a ruling depends on the view of the mukallaf as a part of common people. There is no objection to other kinds of music in itself.

Not really an answer (or maybe it is) so I am asking for opinions)

Salam generally has considered this music as Haram which it just shows initiating special stage in a video game which it has been designed for increasing adrenaline which may cause increasing both of excitement & focus in the video game during boss fight which there is no problem about listening to it during playing but playing any video game whether with music or not must not cause " beings away from Allah, the sublime, and away from moral merits and drives them towards sinful acts and carelessness." for example playing the video game won't cause postponing your obligatory prayers.
