I think it probably depends on your thing, Blip is a chip music festival, MAG from what I understand is primarily games. Most of the reason I haven't gone to MAG is because i really don't have much interest in going to a gaming festival, whereas blip is all music, and also just mostly people that I want to see, and as people go, most of the people I would see at MAG I would also see at Blip, but the converse is not necessarily true.

Science!

er... Philosophy!

Ok now that I'm more awake and less cranky, I have a few points of what I hope are constructive criticism for the survey.

Since you're looking at alternatives to video games of what may inspire enjoyment of chip music you might want to look at what other kinds of music people listen to rather than asking what video games they play and how much they play them. I would consider myself a gamer to a degree, but I would say it has little to no effect on my musical tastes. I have actually found that I prefer non-chip style soundtracks in games, unless they are actually games on a limited system, for a plethora of reasons that I won't really go into here.
Also I would say you shouldn't trim that age range quite so much. While you're focus is on why younger people enjoy chip music, a large portion of analysis could come from the comparison of young groups to old groups, and then also looking at the few people who may answer who are in fact older than those who would have been enjoying 8 bit games as children (40+ or so?).
Also if you insist upon keeping the video-game oriented questions a more appropriate question might be something along the lines of "when did you start playing video games" because while I have played pong it's not something that was relevant to my generation, and similarly while I am currently a gamer, I did not start playing video games until late compared with some others.

Just an opinion but I think that the survey as is will give skewed results and you'll see the results how you want to see them. There is very little room for much reasoning beyond the realm of video game influences. perhaps doing a second round of surveys would be helpful looking at some things a bit deeper. I don't know if you'll find this helpful, but I just think looking at this requires looking away from video games for a bit, because while much chipmusic is made on video game systems, I would be hard pressed to reasonable compare modern chip music to video game music, or even video game sounds.

Also I just realized that looking into what genres of chipmusic would be important as well, because there will be clear differences between the people who enjoy the dancier chip music over the proggy/mathy chip music or chip metal or whathaveyou.

Anyway I'm going to stop writing this post before it gets any harder to understand.
