Well then I guess I know A LOT of nerds. Everyone I know who experiences chipmusic for the first time, likes it more when they find out which hardware it was actually made on and that it's not faux-bit. If it's fake-bit they get disappointed. To them it's more exciting to know that someone programmed a machine that they used to play Pokemon on. It's not a bad thing. And I think people wonder what music is made on a lot more then you think. Especially Electronica like this.
But did they like it before they found out? I guess I'm thinking about the younger generations who didn't grow up with the Gameboy or NES, or were too small for their older siblings to feel safe letting them play on it.
Do they actually seek you out and ask you? Or do you volunteer the information?
But of course they'd like it more.
'haps you are right about the whole thing. You have way more experience with it than I do.
Now... what happens when chipmusic becomes widely accepted as a musical medium. We all want people to stop saying "Mario at a rave" and "bleep bloop music" and "video game music" and "lolwut is that beeping noise?"
But when they do stop saying that, and, instead, say the things that chiptuners say when they hear a good tune, and chipmusic becomes more mainstream... will we stick with it? If MTV starts showing chiptune videos and we can actual make a living off of it... will we still call it legit?
