[ Closed ] I'm sick of Chipmusic because... (Page 4 of 11)

I'm sick of chipmusic because... wait, I'm not, it's all pretty cool actually.

The problem I have with a lot of these statements is that people are always calling for "innovation" and things like that in music but then failing to tell us in what terms this innovation should happen. It's making me feel like this innovation can be boiled down to things like real instruments and irregular time signatures. Add water and voila.

I honestly feel like the artists I respect the most aren't the ones that sound the most technically competent or the ones with the weirdest sounds in their music; rather, it's the artist with the most realized aesthetic vision. If that vision happens to involve dubstep wobbles or electro stylings I'm ok with that.

It's short-sighted and shallow to write off a song just because it has mainstream attributes in it. What a lot of people are actually trying to say when they diss a song for having "dubstep" in it is that "they have not successfully realized their aesthetic vision because of this short-sighted use of dubstep wobbles."

It's way too easy to just say that a genre sucks because of x,y, and z these days. It's a two way street I'm thinking. If you dislike something and are saying it in public, it's your perogative to explain fully why you dislike it. I'm not trying to say that anyone here is wrong for not liking something (you can't just force yourself to like anything) but the discussion of it should really be more intelligent and involve more than "has dubstep/electro/dance; didn't listen." (hd;dl)

And for reference: not saying this about anyone in particular! Just ramblin'

just because you only listen to lsdj songs doesn't mean the rest of chip tune is bad

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just add more pan flutes. Problem solved.

"Don't just tweak some knobs or use a generic waveform or patch"

This part kind of bugged me. Seems like one of the main points of chip music is that you're limited to certain wave forms, which means you have to be original through composition, not sound design.

I dunno whatever. I'm gonna kill myself eventually anyways. who cares.
