If i am making music in renoise and only using 8Bit samples (And lower) created within renoise.
Using only some built in effect (Nothing to fancy) no external samples, no vst and no hardware, do you call that 8Bit? Chiptune? Fakebit?

If you're:
a) trying to limit your DAW to produce something that sounds like it was made on a console/old computer
rather than
b) trying to push the limits of the sound producing capabilities of a console/old computer
then I would use the term fakebit, otherwise I don't really know what the definition of fakebit would be or what the point in the term would be.

8bit is more about only using 8 channels of sounds where with fakebit is more about video game music remixes which in my opinion are the better chip music : ))))))

You're obviously making proto-classification wave, although I detect hints of genre-tag rock in there as well.

Not at all. C64's are 3 channels, Amiga's are 4 channels - same with the Nintendo's. It's the difference between using original hardware, and emulating it (or adding to it).
