Hi-fi means high fidelity. There's slightly less noise on the modded sound output so it's technically higher fi than standard. I just wanted to use a term other than "pro sound mod". I don't know, I've always just called it that. The main reason I use them as an output is that the cables are less likely to come out while performing.

"Cheaptoons" is not a kind of music or genre.
You said it straight, it was not an editing thing.

"I'm Jeff and I make a kind of music called chiptunes..." CUT "...it's a really old genre."
The genre I was mentioning was demoscene. Regardless, I consider chiptunes to be both a genre and a medium. It really is a confusing term and certainly hotly contested. Personally I agree with a lot of the points on either side but my real opinion is this:
Who really cares? I like making music, I don't care too much about what it's called. Call it crapfucktunes if you want. I still like making it, I still like listening to it. Oldschool chip, newschool chip, demoscene, micromusic of all types. We need to stop dividing this stuff up with stupid semantics.
UNITE OR PERISH!

My point, more than sadly over-proved now

There is a very distinct sound to demoscene music. Again I consider the word to apply to both a genre of music, a community and a culture.
My point is that I am not stating something that is proven to be false, it's an opinion. You don't agree, clearly, but there is validity to what I think as there is validity to what you think.
Both the demoscene and chip scene have their own distinct "sound" that goes deeper than just the tools they use. For this reason I, and many others, consider them to be distinct entities in terms of musical genre. At least in some cases.

For the record Chiptune is not a genre it's a medium. It's like calling orchestral music a genre. It's not, it's just a means by which music is made with a set of instruments.
I completely understand that it could have been a very brutal edit. You don't need to defend yourself as I realise this is not your work and that you are just the subject matter.
oh come on..
Jesus Christ. Everyone is so fucking precious! What about the above was unreasonable?

HOLY SHIT! An intelligent conversation appears!
Ok, so I'm interested now. What would you say are these distinct sounds? I think a lot of music produced in the demoscene sounds exactly like the genre the artist has set out to write in (prog rock is a good example) with a different instrument set.
I'm keen to hear what you consider to be these unique distinctions as I believe this is getting closer to the core of the arguement.

I didn't even find it to be unreasonable. Some people seem to want chipmusic.org to become the new 8bc. Can't we stop fighting about stupid things?

I know, the "I" was supposed to be italicized. Fixed now.
