I mean, a lot of it comes down to 4mat's line "Don't call it chipmusic."

And I also think that Anamanaguchi wishes that their audience wasn't so concerned with videogame nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. There are really constructive things that can come out of nostalgia!

well it's cool that my bandcamp release of cover songs is like 2 spots below this thread

admittedly, it's all covers of trance songs, and I'm kind of relying on my lack of popularity to get through it anyway

Ok come on man what kind of attitude is that

Alternatively: I only listen to real hip hop
