This kind of existential discussion is one the most badly flogged dead horses of the chip music community. There's just nothing worth saying that hasn't been said already.
Faerlight, I don't know if you're a troll, but I'm leaning in that direction. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Washington state is a breeding ground for trolls...

he's new, nitro. really new. cut him some slack.
it all depends on you own views. some say it's its own genre because it uses a signature sound, and some say it's a medium just like guitar. there's jazz guitar, meat guitar, country guitar, etc. all guitar, different genres.
in my personal opinion, it's a medium. But that's always up for debate, and this is one of those debates that will never. ever. stop.

maybe what this site needs is an Microsoft Word Clippy-esque character that pops up based on the content of the topic title/message
"Hi, it looks like you're creating a topic about the definition of chipmusic. this topic has beaten to death numerous times. Would you like to continue? ( N / N )"
Faerlight, I don't know if you're a troll, but I'm leaning in that direction.
And I'm sort of leaning in the direction of being new to this place. My first topic was about getting into LSDJ, my second topic was which gameboy I should get, my third was a general discussion I started because I sincerely wanted to hear the general opinion of this place. What constitutes this "attitude" I apparently have is beyond me. I guess I'll just lurk-more until my 64m card arrives from kitsch-bent.

I've solved the riddle of chiptune. You're welcome, everyone. *holds out hand* NOBEL PRIZE, PLEASE!!!
I bet you could use that technique to begin an essay, too.
Yes, please lurk more. All the information you were asking for in your topics has been covered at least twice over already.
If this discussion ceases for all time we will never hear from the guy who has the new insight which opens our minds to whole other worlds of possibilities.
This happens in things as objective as maths and science all the time; the chances of it happening with music conceptualization are high, and slight alterations to the question can shed new light.
For me, for now, the chipflip definition trinity seems the best we have.
At first glance I thought
it doesnt matter...
if you want to shoehorn them into a classification instead of a feeling, then you're making art under completely plastic pretenses
had it nailed, but then
none of this makes any difference to the actual sounds I'm trying to make, it's more of a fun text based mini game to play while the other part of my brain works out how to finish those tracks it's working on.

how can you ask this question differently though?
if chipmusic as a medium is heading north at 80mph and chipmusic as a genre is heading south at 75mph ...?
Should I take over chewing for you guys for a minute? Have a break.

that was in response to nitro2k01 - who posted 8 examples.
The point I really wanted to make is that knowledge isn't a static thing, and if people are discouraged from questioning current thinking improving it will be more difficult.
Who cares what you call it, go write some.
