I think a leaflet would work better.

"Chipmusic was invented in 2006 when some guy accidentally plugged his gameboy into a stereo.
The gameboy contained Super Mario Land and people began rocking out to this hot new sound. 
Later, other guys started painting and then adding backlights and audio jacks to their gameboys,
turning them from simple gaming devices into serious instruments that you'd hear in an orchestra. 
By the end of 2006 chipmusic was the single most influential music on the planet.  With top stars
like Beck and other stars like Beck using them once, it seemed on an unstoppable road to glory."

Wait do you mean the real Beck or the Japanese Beck?

Isn't that what happened when David Bowie played a Stylophone on one track?

Haha. Yeah we probably expend far too much energy trying to set the record straight. We should really just make shit up and see how far we can take it.

I think you mean Mongolian Chop Squad. tongue

i am just new to this scene.. (discovered these art form/genre music through my new bandmate who's into using synths & stuff, and when i listened to it the first time i fell in love with it...From then I started working on making my own tunes and everyday it gets more exciting.it is challenging and fun and that what makes chiptunes unique from other music genres.I am in a deathmetal band currently, though i make my own chiptunes on my own time. regarding the pamphlet thing, i think that's cool man. but as to what others say, not all people appreciate the beauty in something, especially if it is new to them, so don't try to overdo it.I know there are a lot of people who appreciate this genre..and we are one of them. smile

I like the idea of trying to spread the word, but an airport with a pamphlet doesn't seem like a good use of resources. First the thing should be able to fit into someone's pocket easily, or they will either put it down and forget it or just throw it away because it's too cumbersome. And I'm not sure the airport is the best audience to market to. Maybe a game,anime or comic book convention? You'll probably find less resistance from those people than the 60 year old farmer who just got off a plane after a 9 hour flight.
