Why do people listen to video game soundtracks? Aren't they supposed to be only listened while playing the game?

Why not? It's still music? Music is music? And if you really like that genre/style of music..
I'm not big on videogame soundtracks but I like a few videogame songs. Sephiroth (One Winged Angel) from Final Fantasy 7, the entire soundtrack from The Witcher 3, and Hyperdrive by Scirocco, which I'm not sure was used in any video games, but all or most of his songs are made for video games. I also have a song from MegaMan and a techno remix of the MegaMan theme. And I have one other song that I think is from a video game, I thought the song name was one of the areas in Super Metroid but I don't recognize it in the Super Metroid Wiki. And there are some video game songs that are very nostalgic for me, especially Mario game songs and F-Zero songs, but I don't really have them or listen to them, except for a video of the Super Mario Bros. theme played on an ocarina.
