nerdcore, nintendocore, gameboycore, boycore, gamecore, nintendoboycore

Chip Unce
This was massively popular in 2008-2009, but has slightly waned in popularity since. Famous for hyper melodies, four to the floor kick drum and always a very high tempo. Generally the Game Boy is the most popular instrument.

ChipBreak
Chiptunes + Breakcore = chipbreak. popular around the same time as Chip Unce, there's still some people making this, but it's more rare.

Chip Prog-wankery
It's been around for a while, but it's gaining more popularity at the moment - lots of crazy time signature changes, intricate melodies, and varying tempos. Game Boys are less common in Chip Prog-wankery, the NES and C64 seem to be popular in this regard.

Chip BASS
The one for the hipsters are the moment, especially following the massive dubstep boom in recent years - fans have been asking "how do I dubstep my chiptune" and musicians have been providing "massive choonz" that generally require a subwoofer to fully appreciate. A nice mix of Game Boys, Amigas, C64s in this regard.
