I've personally found that harsh sounding chip stuff gets two types of response from the casual or unfamiliar chiptune listeners. For a lot of people, the aggressiveness actually just draws them in as much as the "omgz gmaeboi" factor does, while it obviously also scares people away.

Nah, dude. It's pretty advanced shit.

Godspeed

Full time college student a few states away from home. Also, chipbuskin' and regular buskin' back home pays fairly well. Got a parks and rec. type job this summer.

Between songs at shows, I go on homeless guy-level rants about nothing and then just reach some kind of conclusion and make that the title of the song for the moment.

My cousin plays 6-string bass, and he finds my chip stuff interesting and novel, but likes to find sounds in my songs that remind him of Mega Man and stuff that we played on NES a lot when we were younger. My sister thinks it's stupid and annoying, especially when I'm using the desktop to record things. Dad was supportive in that he appreciated the composition and stuff, but he wasn't too invested in it outside of the fact that it's something I'm invested in. Mum doesn't really care about the details, but says that most people should be, and is always trying to get me to talk about/show off chiptune stuff to her friends/their kids, and she usually is supportive when it comes to me going to chip events and booking shows and stuff. Aunts and uncles mostly don't care as much as they do about my guitar stuff. Close friends either A.) like electronic dance music and consider chiptune to be synonymous and thus go to see me do chip stuff sometimes, B.) help me set up shop when I go chipbusking and all that, C.) have no opinion, or D.) Ended up, themselves, getting into making chipmusic.
