Surume Gē
Recently, I came across the term surume gē (スルメゲー).
Since surume (スルメ) means "dried squid," and gē is an abbreviation for gēmu (ゲーム - meaning "game"), the literal meaning of surume ge is "dried squid game."
It does not mean a game where you manipulate dried squid.
Just like dried squid, which tastes better the more you chew it, surume gē refers to an attractive game that becomes more fun the more you play it, even if it is not fun at first.
Similarly, a song that becomes more appealing the more you listen to it is called surume kyoku (スルメ曲 - literally means "dried squid song").

スルメゲー
最近、「スルメゲー」という言葉を知りました。
「スルメ」は "dried squid"、「ゲー」は "game" を意味する「ゲーム」の略であるため、「スルメゲー」の文字どおりの意味は "dried squid game" となります。
「スルメが出てくるゲーム」というわけではありません。
「噛めば噛むほど味が出て美味しいスルメ」のように、「（最初はいまいちでも）プレイすればするほど面白さが増してくる、長く楽しめる魅力的なゲーム」というわけです。
同様に、聞けば聞くほど良さがわかってくるような曲は、「スルメ曲」のように呼ばれます。
