Sorry, I forgot that chiptune music is all about semantics.

"so do you get like the music off of the ps2 and then put it on the computer and then your gameboy gets the song?"
"So, the Atari ST just plays the MP3s you made on your game boy, right?"
It's so frustrating how the average person does not seem able to imagine:
A) these sounds existing in a context apart from games
B) people making this music for a reason other than nostalgia.

i think it sucks when i make the effort to make my music stand out as a composition in and of itself, trying to transcend the trappings of the platform in question..
.. and then people say "ohhh it totally sounds like it should be in a vidya game, you ever think of making music for vidya gamezszsz??"

Yep.
"Oh wow, this music sounds like an-cat-max!" ಠ_ಠ

"It's cool that you enjoyed my song but where's your 'like'"
"It's cool that you enjoyed my song but where's your 'like'"
Oh god whoever said that needs a hard slap in the face.
Yep. This makes a good discussion.
When will the various chipmusics be able to transcend their preconceptions?
Sure it's great to acknowledge influences (such as video gaming or personal computing), but as a medium, popculture is having a hard time accepting it as a compositional tool.
Is this because it's not 'popular' enough for popculture? Maybe this is a good thing!?
In the words of IAYD:
YOU DECIDE.
negatives: dude fuck no you dont have a program that you write music with, thats a pokemon blue game! (i put my cart in a pokemon blue case) (old friend)

positives: nice harmonies (pizza pasta times)

Haha, I love this.
Random person: Eeeeew, modem noise!
Random tracker person: Awesome!! This is so cool!!
Yeah I always liked modem noises. Everyone I know cringes at them. I think they are weird.
