yeah because 98% of humans on earth are shitty electro house DJs it wasnt that hard for them to find each other
if i went out into the world and talked to people i'd end up being friends with steve aoki or afrojack
if you don't like the site why don't you just sign out and not come back instead of trying to police which spaces other people use for innocuous and constructive interaction which ultimately Makes Them Happy
if it doesn't pay to be a dick online why don't you stop doing it
sorry

I really enjoyed reading all of this.
It's hard to judge what should happen with "the scene"...It's not exactly a scene. We have certain technological sensibilities in common and use similar tools to achieve goals, the goals musically being very different (prog rock, electro, experimental and noise music, 80s era nostalgia pieces). As an example if T Pain and Alva Noto were considered the same type of music because they both recorded their music on a mac...well you see what I mean.
I felt it needed to be said. chip music is not a genre, it's not an ideology, it's a loose association of shared techniques for sound design using a somewhat specific set of hardware or sounds.
The steps needed to cement the scene in place seem to me to be smaller tribes of musicians with similar goals making collectives (ie realizing this isn't one scene but alot of them sharing production techniques)...to stop using "chip" as a genre or umbrella and instead treat it for what it is, colors for painting. to play down the process and up the creativity, production and marketing of what it is you're trying to create and how it fits into music as a whole as opposed to how it's made.
