it could be worth mentioning "hey i'm dude and i make music with a thing" at some shows just so they're like "hey check it out, dude isn't just playing songs off an ipod!"

then again some people will still think that regardless, so maybe it pays to not give a shit!

No, though the image of Skrillex as a homeless busker is... interesting.

If MTV starts showing chiptune videos and we can actual make a living off of it... will we still call it legit?

No we'll say chiptune has sold out and move on to other niche-y music.

But seriously I fear for the day when chiptune becomes fully "mainstream."

chiptune "as a thing" is mainstream anyway, even Community had an 8-bit episode.

chiptune can sell out without you selling out. if the standard perception of low-bit music is dance music and covers then if your tunes sound like Art Bears kicking an atari ST to death you are still an underground lich king

Yeah, but 8-bit isn't necessarily chiptune.
