Always call dibs before other people can call dibs, whether or not someone says it's okay to call dibs yet.
Well then put me down for Here comes Santa Claus

You're arguing as if there's only a single way to "push a system." From a purely technological point of view, not a lot of artists are even close to "pushing" anything, and from a musical point of view your sentiment is just really laughable. It's not like "pushing" a system automatically makes you end up at dubstep or whatever type of music you had in mind. That's would be the fault of unoriginal or bad composers if anything.
I didn't say there was just one way, in a technological point of view some artists kind of are pushing the limit of the gameboy (the noticable lag on a DMG from so many tables running at once forcing to use the gameboy color). My statements were kind of wrong from a musical standpoint though your right. The simplest melodies and rhythms can make for a good song but you can only do so much with thank kind of sound and make it your own.

Re: why do you compose/listen to chip? (129 replies, posted in General Discussion)
uhm, chip music has already been going for 10+ years. with very little changing aside from like some stylistic fads and such
Yeah, but honestly I don't see it having much more life. It originally started with vgm and midi, then people started using trackers to make their own chipmusic. Now some people are using the hardware to make it sound less like a game system and more of whatever fad/trend/style of music is popular (dubstep/seapunk/trip) or some people are making it sound like straight up like a game system. All I am saying is that you can push an 80's video game system (based on the fact that people are using it for its limitations) so far until you hit a limit where everyone's music sounds the same. Unless it is mixed with other instruments and different genres I don't see straight chipmusic being as popular in 2022.

Re: why do you compose/listen to chip? (129 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I totally agree, I would tape songs from my tv while playing (before I had internet). I listen to it so much that i get surprised when someone asks me what it is lol because its just normal everyday music for me. But there is an appeal more so to our generation I think than others because it is in fact using hardware or using sounds that sound like the hardware that we grew up with.
Thx for that link btw, definitely going to be using it during work hahah

Re: why do you compose/listen to chip? (129 replies, posted in General Discussion)
and maybe someday chipmusic won't be a novelty any more.
TBH I think chipmusic will always be a novelty, I really don't see chipmusic lasting 10+ years either (or at least straight up chipmusic, as always it could be used as a tool with different genres). But really why did most of you guys get into chipmusic? You obv. played video games before, and that had to at least play a little role in the decision to get into chiptune. Most of you say its not a nostalgic thing but I believe that it does lol even if its subconscious. I'll make a bet that most of our listeners or fans listen to our music because its nostalgic for them as well.
Idk why some of you are so against the idea of composing chipmusic being nostalgic lol
