Was this directed at me? If so, I think you misunderstood. There's a big difference between acceptance and indifference.

Anyway, spreading bad vibes is kind of a waste of energy fellas.

oh, but we're SO good at it!

geh, you guys are just in tune with your interests and not afraid to be honest no matter how unpopular the thought may be. although i dont personally LOVE LOVE LOVE IFD, i wish them well on their musical journey and dont believe that their success is in any possible way detrimental to chipmusic. (congrats dudes!)

also @scienceguy: good for you, like what you like and don't give in to the hate!

Fixed.

Then again its about 400bpm too slow and doesn't have any distorted amens in it.

yet when a group like IFD comes along, they get tossed aside and have assessments like "they are not good" thrown at them like it's some sort of objective, conclusive fact.

Videogame gimmick.

Completely putting aside how cool the band members may or may not be for a moment-- I find it a bit strange that lots of people into chiptunes insist that it's an instrument, not a genre, and that more bands should treat it that way, etc... and yet when a group like IFD comes along, they get tossed aside and have assessments like "they are not good" thrown at them like it's some sort of objective, conclusive fact.

I've only heard a few songs but I dig what I hear. I think it's pretty good music, whatever you wanna call it. Oh well. *Shrug*

other things it can be used alongside as instruments: analog synths, bent gear, violin, banjo, ukelele, washboard, etc
seriously though, i dont think its hypocritical at all to dislike a band that uses chip with other instruments just because you want more people to treat chip more as an instrument instead of a genre..that thought doesnt even really say that it couldnt still be the only instrument, but more just asking for recognition that chip stuff isnt only one genre of music, but a variety of genres done on similar instruments
its not the same thing at all, though i admit both involve the words "chip" and "instrument"
