I hate the several thousand sub genres in electronic music when a good amount of them sound a lot alike

https://8bc.org/

Why don't people just use SoundCloud for sharing their music?

And why are they using some underground music website

8bc? Underground?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I loving love Keygen/chiptune/8-bit.


You 'despise' them? Really? So if you hear a really sweet chiptune song and your totally groovin it and you read the description and it says: "Made in FL Studios", you automatically hate it? You automatically despise it?
I mostly listen to game music or demo music, and besides, you can usually hear if it's been composed in a sequencer. I'm not saying that all sequencer music is bad, but you can't call them chiptunes.

Anamanaguchi
yes please

Anamanaguchi uses old sound tones from old consoles to make music.

They did the OST for the Scott Pilgrim game.


itt: people who think that mainstream genres have no variation
I love chiptune, don't get me wrong, but really? don't generalize genres.


8-Bit/Chiptune is all I have on my iPod.
Nothing else cuts it for me.

I love it so much because it comes from that special era in gaming where people had to take less and make it more. Game play and design wasn't regulated by how much power the console held, but how you used it. Limitations made the games special. Chip Tunes or 8-Bit was the only way producers could emulate sound in their games and good god, when I first heard what they decided to do with it I was blown away. Top Gear, Mega Man... damn.

Besides, I hate singing in music.
