Copying Music Style

So it's obvious that in a fangame you want to copy the graphics style if you want to make some graphics of your own to put in the game. But very few people bother making their own music; they just use some music that's already in the game.

First you have to make sure the instruments are right, then the modifiers, and the rhythms. Next the form has to be correct (see the "ABAC style for video game music" topic), and finally, everything has to mesh together.

What are some of your experiences with this? Or have you tried it at all? (I suggest you do, though it's difficult it's also quite fun!)
