You are very good at making me both regret and be overjoyed about the fact that I ever started using LSDJ.
Amazing work as always, good sir.
You're very silly if you don't listen to this.

Not to put too fine a point on it,
aanaaanaaanaaana.net wonders if it's been edged out of the chiptune discussion simply because it releases tracker modules instead of gameboy recordings? None of our music has anything to do with straight dance music or virtuoso AOR, instead staying folksy and silly, having mystique and the promise of eventually understanding all the in-jokes, but hardly anyone's clicking and the email we passed around to receive demos has been rather overlooked.
I make gameboy music, and I prefer aanaaanaaanaaana releases to most anything, really.

I think that's probably some sort of rose-colored-glasses hipster talk, but I really have no idea where you're finding new music. I haven't really noticed this trend at all. I dunno, I find rad shit all the time, 90% of it not chip unce. I go to a lot if shows and check out cool stuff that my friends post.
In fact, there's a lot of stuff out there today that makes some of the earlier chip records sound weak
I know that personally, even the huge mindblowing new stuff is generally dance music, and I find it really hard to get excited about dance. I'd most certainly say that almost everyone new I see get into chip is interested in dance music, and the production thereof, and that can be more than a little alienating for someone not into that.
But of course there are people making awesome new stuff not geared toward that kind of stuff. Please Lose Battle is freakin sweet, Timmy and the Robot Band are great as well, and Ubiktune releases awesome stuff. It's depressing to have to look that deep to find things that you consider interesting.
Maybe you just have a very good group of friends showing you new stuff? I know that despite digging a lot, I've had more of a similar experience to E.S.C. than to what you're describing.
I'm also consistently disappointed in people using, and recommending for that matter, the same gear over and over again. Gameboys are cool, I use one literally every day. But can we teach new people about FM? Or how to write MODs? Or just about synthesis in general? I hate that all of the literature about how to get started in chip is so technical, and so much less about understanding sound than it is about how to bloops.
That being said, I still like the scene a lot.

just saying, those limitations... chip gear is what it is... honestly thought about 5-6 years ago we'd see a shift toward mixing chip with other gear after a few acts got a little bigger, but scene is more homogenous than ever.. too much 4/4 EDM/house/happy hardcore been done with this gear already, and i wasnt big on it even when it was new... and if you use it heavily, you get labeled as chip, which then leads peopls to expect 4/4 edm dance nonsense (at least my experience in the midwest, i get told by chip gigs im not chip, and by other gigs that im too chip)
I'm well acquainted with this struggle. I've never been told any of this in such certain terms, but I've certainly surprised a lot of people at shows by not being shitty dance music (or even good dance music, for that matter)
I will always enjoy the tonal palate offered up by chipmusic, and I will always hate explaining lsdj to strangers. One of those will win out eventually, who knows which one. I'd sooner move into straight FM stuff or straight piggy than quit chip altogether, if I'm being honest. But then again LSDJ will always be the piece of software I'm the most comfortable with.
Who knows. I'm not a psychic.
