No, you don't understand, the fact that "Terminals play music to lure machines" is even a theory, in universe, implies that Machines being capable of appreciating music is not just canon, it is a fact known and accepted by the humans who made them in the first place.
Please, listen to me, they put appreciation of art into their blood powered tools of war and it's the only reason why their self expression yet finds appreciation even after humanity's end.
Just, just be with me for this. V1s creator might have been into drum and base. Ultrakill OST might just be as canon as the graphic settings (see: Sentry codex entry).
V1 has a fucking "tunes to listen to at work" playlist, and a dedicated song for throwing hands with V2 on it. But it also has a Gabriel theme, and it's creator couldn't possibly have met him. And the songs are so fitting for the stages in general... omg
V1 has a fucking composer AI. It's creator made their super weapon, the "Supreme Machine" a fucking musician. V1 makes music it commits mass murder to. It made a music for Gabriel and V2. 2 songs with themes and motifs for each of its rivals.
Wait wait, fuck. Fuck, wait.
V1
Composed the god damn Requiem motif. It took a look at Lust and went "ahh, yes, a gut wrenching violin solo for this place". And then it put that motif into Order. Which means...
Which means V1 understands the tragedy of the Lust layer and King Minos. Which mean the mindles-ness of its carnage across Hell isn't total. It understands how sad it is enough to make art about it.
I need a moment.

A tribute to the City of Tears
(script under cut)
1.
Unlike what people thought,
the Dreamers were aware of the world even in the Dream.
So Lurien continued to watch.
For that was his duty.
/
2.
Perhaps,
the title of âWatcherâ
suits him now
more than it ever did when he was awake.
The Watcher's gaze wanders the city like a ghost.
//
3.
The endless sound of dripping rain, light glinting off the wet streets.
It didn't always rain in the city.
In the yearsÂ
since the city was built,
the rain was a relatively new development.
4.
But now even Lurien
finds it easier
to imagine the view outside the windows without rain
than to remember the city of before.
/
5.
Every day the city the Watcher knows falls into ruin.
And Lurien's worn out memories
fade bit by bit
leaving only the vague impression
that 'it wasn't always like this.'
/
6.
A song echoing amidst the patter of rain.
Traces of a dream different from that of the Dreamers.
Or perhaps a requiem from the city to itself.
7.
In either case
the song is not for Lurien.
Lurien loved the Kingdomâs Capital,
the heart of Hallownest.
He did not live the age
where songs for a ruin were sung on the streets.
/
8.
The streets echo with the footsteps of busy bugs.
Peaceful silence hangs in the Spire
and Lurien sits at his telescope.
/
9.
Perhaps
if you cover your eyes
you could pretend
that Lurienâs beloved city
hasn't changed at all.
/
10.
But the Watcher never turns away.
/
11.
The wanderers call this place
the City of tears.
They will never realize
just how apt the name is.

i think âvideo games arenât really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they areâ and âcertain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holesâ are ideas that can absolutely coexist
