this is a great read 10k, pretty comprehensive.
also, i empathize with you bringing up the chiptheft issue. @DaPantz: i think it's a very interesting idea to locate the cohesion of the chiptune community partly in its resistance to chiptheft, and in its attempts to overcome it.

also, here's a link to a not-so-brief history of chiptunes by two US scholars. it's written for an academic audience, so no lazy journalism here. i'm working on something similar for a different journal myself.

Ive said this before but there are three temples of chip. People who think the sounds are whack but the songs are perfect (ocremix), that the sounds are awesome but the songs annoying (modern chip dudes) and that both are perfect and must never change (famicompo covers section big_smile)

I hate hearing shitty vst redux of ffII soundtrack as much as you, but having them mentioned in the same breath isn't so outrageous.

This idea has really stuck in my head.  I noticed I've been subconsciously categorizing stuff as:

Impressionist -- the sounds are whack but the songs are perfect

Modernist -- the sounds are awesome but the songs annoying

Purist -- both are perfect and must never change

Regardless of what actual words you use I think this type of differentiation is far more useful than "fakebit", vgm, chipstyle, or what have you.

Oh btw 10k your article was awesome.. learned a couple of essential things in chip history that I wasn't aware of due to not being a part of the scene even close to the time. Thanks!

Its definitely becoming more of a problem, because as media exposure grows, i feel like the people who would really enjoy our genre would be totally turned off by how it is being presented. And dont even get me started on the people who WOULD like the description.

Yeah.. fuckin nerds
