You got me curious, what game, and what genres did it invent?
BMS (Be-Music Source), which is technically a file format, not a game. Started off as a Beatmania (now Beatmania IIDX) simulator in 1998, and evolved into its own thing due to some alleged copyright beef with Konami. Someone has made a 20-min video essay about this that is better than anything I could explain
Every song in BMS is original & is fully key-sounded, so the community ended up gathering a lot of (overwhelmingly Japan and Korea-based) music creators. Some of them are... quite experimental. The entire ArtCore genre (which is almost nonexistent outside of rhythm games, but extremely prevalent within) was invented and pioneered by BMS creators. Recent ones... I'm pretty sure I've never seen a "Hi-Tech Full On" or a "Poetry reading" genre song outside of BMS, but there are at least several songs that fall within these two respectively
Just a heads up... BMS as a game is brutally difficult even by rhythm game standards, which is already a very demanding video game genre to get into
