Yes it is. It’s what makes a trailer a suburb piece of editing as opposed to some ad.

praise chuck, raise heck
Baby Driver did it during the movie itself, which ruled. And Mad Max Fury Road made sure the drums lined up in part of the trailer.

In most cases it should to be an enhancement to the trailer and not completely take it over. Feels tacky/gimmicky otherwise

edit: I’m reminded of the trend of Anime Music Videos years ago - you could tell who just wanted to match every frame to a beat, and the others that let it flow without being too over the top.

Because everything gets old. I'd argue that most of the trailers that do it, do it well. It's just that, like with anything, it's effect is diminished over time. And then when everyone does it, it kind of poisons the wells for the really big swings.

I might be just deeply ill because I still love a lot of trailer music covers. I like when they do that stuff.

I never get tired of it because when it works it works and when it doesn’t it doesn’t, and my instinct isn’t to say “nah shits done”

I don't mind trailer movie covers when it's done well. Ultimately a trailer is a mini-creative exploration that, when it works well, evokes an emotional response from me. Lots of mechanisms can be used to do that. Music covers can touch a lot of different areas of my brain.
The "edit to explosive beat" mechanism has a very narrow emotional appeal to me. It really just touches the action/energy/brawndo vibe. It's easier to wear a rut in that emotion for me than it is in some of the more broader emotions.

I’ll be honest I never rewatch dramatic trailers for that reason. They’re just not entertaining outside of getting my internet up or not.

Action trailers to me are the highlight of the art due to the cut ratio. I live for that stuff.

Yeah I mean it's interesting in a sort of music video sort of way, but it's like candy that is good at first but starts to make my stomach hurt after too much. But also, just as a person I'm more into things that tap into the more softer emotions. Not slagging off action films or their trailers - I still watch and enjoy them! I've just always been the kind a "would rather cry or feel grandiosity" at a trailer rather than a have a kick-rear end feeling. That's why I mentioned the Insterstellar Trailer 2 a while back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt2LHkSwdPQ). It's got the emotions that I resonate with as well as a nice rhythm to the trailer rather than just presenting me with content.

I do unironically miss that "song written for/unreleased song used on" soundtrack accompanied with the thematic music video trend of the 90s. It ruled.

Also Corgan has a whole Nosferatu thing going in that video drat

The Batman and Robin soundtrack also included U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" which includes the lyric "I don't know what you're doing/Babe it must be art" which is one of the most hilariously apropos lyrics ever.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

The Batman & Robin album features a 10 minute song by Underworld, which plays during the motorcycle race in the movie. Despite the artists having made shorter 4 and 7 minute versions they just inserted the "full" version that comes with a 3 minute fadeout at the end. Not even the version on Underworld's own album features this extended ending to the song. It feels like an incredible troll move.

Now I don't mind, it's an absolute banger. But I can imagine a lot of people just prefer to skip to the Smashing Pumpkins song afterwards before the vocalist even shows up (4 minutes in).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHgQGEg5_2w

And Blade II also took the genre-mixing approach of Judgment Night and Spawn, although the mixes of artists were less exotic and just made sense sometimes.

I have an hour and a half long DJ set by Underworld and I've worked out to it like probably over 50 times. It's so loving good.
