edit:

this thread comes around every few weeks or so. but i change my mind about it every few weeks or so as well, so that's ok.

the thing about it going mainstream is that 99% of people will not learn how to code, they will not learn how to modify hardware (beyond a prosound and "circuit bending"), they probably won't even learn how to use a tracker (inb4 claims of elitism: they probably won't learn how to emulate the techniques properly in a daw either). they won't do any of the things we take for granted because a few square wave vsts in a daw will be "good enough"... and the kind of music that actually goes mainstream will be pop music/indie music/rock music/dance music with a few pwm leads and squarewave arps made in logic.

and they'll get rich and you won't and you'll either try to make daw music with a few squares and fail and feel sad and regret selling out, or persevere with what you are doing now and get no recognition and regret not selling out

it's far better to have the people you respect respect you back, i think, than to have millions of anonymous nameless "fans" misinterpreting your vision and stealing your singles (they won't even bother with albums!! not even with EPs!!) from piratebay.

you might realise you are an idol to millions of racist sports fans and shoot yourself in the head or something

every "mainstream" genre is shit and empiricism works (when 100% of a large sample with some propertie has some other property it implies a relationship i think)

don't tell anyone outside of this forum about chiptone music or the things i mentioned will come true
