Yeah I always liked modem noises. Everyone I know cringes at them. I think they are weird.

You would love the intro to this song. They play modem startup, then mimic it on their instruments.

Also, my family is surprisingly accepting of my chip music. One time when I was visiting home I showed them a little bit of it.

Dad: "That was really weird, yet really cool."

My dad text me to say he "found some 'media files' on the old home computer that he was 'unsure' about..."

"...but I can't delete these mp3s, this Oxygenfad chap is fantastic!"

"8 bit? could be interesting" i send some links, friends politely drop the subject :)

if i get explicit feedback:
"at first it was like, really annoying - i mean, really just, oh god! but then after a while i started thinking "hey, it's irritating, but it actually sounds like ..animals and ..leaky taps and other things, in a weird way.. .. i don't like it""

and endless fucking drug references - why does 8 bit sound like drugs!?
