I do agree chipmusic and 8bit graphics go hand and hand together,

That's not what I said and I don't agree with that.

How so? There is no immediate logical link in that comparison.

8bit has nothing to do with audio. Just as 72bit has nothing to do with dub-step, 8 bit has nothing to do with chipmusic/chiptune.

Ok then, what do you think fake bit is?

I'm not trying to define fakebit. I'm trying to make you realize that you made your definition up yourself out of the blue.

No, not at all.
I have made inform decisions based off of what I have read.

also from other people in the community.

Chipmusic is music using old video game/computer chips correct?

Fake bit is music made using modern day vst instruments, there for fake bit is fake chip music.

Fakebit, sometimes also called 9-Bit, refers to a style of electronic music that differs from real 8-bit (music) in being made with the technical resources of sound emulation or VSTi (software synthesizers) instead of real low bit computers and gaming consoles.

DId you read my question? You're not answering it.

I guess it really depends on who you ask then.

Which is my point exactly, thank you.

What point are you trying to prove again?

An orphan article blurb on wikipedia that cites no references and reads like a school assignment and a cherry-picked minority of the vocal part of this community... Sounds like a good set of sources. I've actually never seen anyone use "9-bit" until now. A quick search on this forum reveals that there is a net label with that name, but nothing else, which makes the wikipedia article read like "original research" (although I'm reluctant to use the term "research" to describe something that obviously involves nothing of the sort) more than anything else. The fact that an article in that shape has been left unchallenged for a year tells something about the complete irrelevance of the subject.

Not necessarily as far as I'm concerned, but as you said yourself, it depends on who you ask.

My point is that you are trying to make your personal opinions sound generally accepted definitions.

Whether 8-Bit Music equals Retro music?
Not necessarily. It does usually but chiptune people make also some dubstep things, and others.
