It sounds different than traditional dubstep based on the limitations of the sound chip. If you showed it to somebody who didn't know it was made on/played off of a Gameboy or NES and called it dubstep, chances are they would think it was shitty.

Calling it chipstep leads to the question of "what the fuck is chipstep?" which then opens the door to the explanation behind it.

I guess we could all go with "Dubstep composed upon an 8bit processor" but that sounds a bit wordy, don't you think?

thats why earlier in the thread i mentioned that calling it chipstep is way simpler to use. when i share chip music with my friends (the newer generation skrillex and Deadmau5 listeners) they tend to think its nuts that a NES or a Gameboy can produce such a sound, and half of them continue to listen and explore chip music just for the novelty of knowing it was made on old school hardware and not a MacBook. that being said theres still those trolls who go one about "why would anyone do that?" and "thats dumb". thats where i end the friendship.

P.S. haters gonna hate but Skrillex is pretty freakin great. and so is Deadmau5
