Click music in the top bar and filter by file type.
Edit: Or do you mean on tbe whole internet?
Well, yeah, thats actually kind of what I am looking for. I just need some number since I can't seem to find them on modarchives..
Hey everyone,
do you have a clue where one can see how many .mod-files there are online to this date?
This would be very helpful! Thank you in advance!
I didn't expect such a feedback, that's awesome. It's really interesting to see how different everyones attitude is towards this subject.
Maybe another aspect that makes it seem to have a punk-appeal is that both forms of music tend to have some kind of soundlimitation.
What's different is that Chipmusicians always wanted to push their instruments as far as possible but in punk they kind of seem to set with what they have (E-Guitar, simple chord progression etc.... ).
I think the DIY-Aspect is still deeply rooted in the scene. In my case, I modded my own gameboy instead of buying a finished product from an online retailer because I had the ambition and the interest to make this gameboy my own unique instrument. Im seriously interested in how many people really buy finished products from retailers? To me it feels like it kind of defeats the purpose. Maybe it has something to do with authenticity?
I also read and saw that people in the audience are often pogo-ing. Isn't that some kind of punk-thing, too? Or doesn't it happen so often?
i think there's very little rebellion or anti-consumerism in the scene now, if there ever really was (individual artists in some cases, but never wide-spread from what i saw).. most of the scene has nothing at all to do with punk, at least from my perspective (that of someone who was in the punk scene for maybe 6-8 years starting in the mid-90s)
mh, sure, you can not generalize this because everyone has a different motivation starting with chipmusic.
But listen to these guys:

...and what about this ?
Hey everyone,
I was wondering for a long time now and I just can't seem to figure it all out.
What do you think makes the whole Chipmusic-Scene have that Punk-Appeal?
I know about 8-Bit Punk and that the community wasn't very pleased with McLaren wanting to push things he didn't quite get (didn't get at all acutally). But in his open letter gwEm did not take issue with McLaren over Chipmusic as some kind of new Punk.
So, again, besides from the DIY-aspect, rebellion or anti- consumerism:
What do you think, if at all, makes the scene punk today?
Thank you in advance!
