Composing music, like any art, takes focus, time, and practice.  Lots of practice.  Just because you know how use a paintbrush doesn't mean you're Salvador Dali.  It seems like a common misconception with electronic music, especially chiptunes, is that it's soooo easy to put together since all you gotta do is program all the parts in. 

Come up with tunes in your head and try your best to transcribe what you imagine.  Pick a song you really like and try to recreate it.  Think about the tones you want.  Think about what you're trying to convey and what you want others to feel.  Don't like what you came up with? Then scrap it, don't stress.  The important thing is honing that skill until it feels very natural.  Before you know it you'll develop the kind of sound you want

Is chiptune dying or dead?  Well, to quote Banksy: "I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."
