when will the stigma surrounding chiptune go away /mu/?

when someone makes some good chiptune

when neckbears stop liking it

>tfw people avoid entire genres not because they're bad but because unattractive men like them

When chiptune becomes anything but nostalgic wankery shared between neckbeards.

never because it inherently attracts gnarly-ass people and horrible songwriters

but why does chiptune attract the worse people in the world

>>51147269
maybe not the whole album, but there's some in there.

What would you call pale machine then? j-pop?

>>51147365
well, it certainly takes more from shibuya-kei and j-pop than it does of 8-bit sound chips

>>51147270
Because, like pop music, it's music that doesn't require attraction. It's just there. It's an extension of video game music, which was always present their entire childhood, meaning that it requires no effort to discover. It's populated by the lazy and culturally devoid.

vidya music was in my childhood too but that doesn't mean i go out looking for shitty ps1 game midi soundtracks

>>51147494
this argument can be made for everything except certain modern classical/improv and related stuff basically
your point?
>>51147533
do people really have nfc what chiptune is?

>>51147237
follicles under the chin and face

anyway, i'm actually a sucker for things that use either brief, unexpected pieces of chip-like sound (flylo does this a lot) or use heavy distortion on chiptune style synths (like vanishes), just not "straight" chiptune, no matter how virtuoso or complicated or whatever.

>>51147533
well, heads up, because faux-ps1 OST vaporwave is probably going to be the new chiptune for the next 10 years

i got just the thing fer you

if the chiptune isn't from a video game, it's good.

if it's from a video game, it's bad

>>51147625
why?

>>51147635
because video game music is for neckbearded manchildren. You wouldn't want to be a neckbearded manchild now woul you/.

has anyone listened to the OP album? I

i like this so far though, thanks man

>>51147685
like 5 or 6 years ago only /v/ and 15 year olds liked chiptune. now it's fairly mainstream, at least as a production element.

>>51147703
oh fuck man that game is insanely good

>>51147703
they are

Anamanaguchi tho
Although arguably they're more Electropop/dance nowadays

>>51147841
anamanaguchi is trash and you know it

>>51147858
Ehh. They're fun, they've got great melodies, they appeal to my ADHD-riddled brain. I don't really care.

>>51147045
it's too late, anamanaguchi already ruined it

For me chiptunes are not vidya music or nostalgia, just a different kind of "synth" that if you had spent time with games in your youth, they are more familiar to you than others, so you "understand" the sound better.

Also what do you think about the demoscene tracker music? Pick related, one of my favorite albums:
http://bleepstreet.bandcamp.com/album/a-for-amiga

What about chiptunes+real instruments, I'm not talking about anamanaguchi, but more like this:

And finally, check out ubiktune's releases:

Saving this thread. Chip music is one in the handful of genres that I feel doesn't get enough love. There's an amazing amount of good stuff out there if you just look for it. Same goes for any other genre, really. It makes me sad when I see people equate chip = vgm and claim only neckbeards and manchildren listen to it out of nostalgia.

>>51147726

I really wasn't expecting this at all, but I always thought anamanaguchi would be the first to get their shit in some advertising commercial.
I might actually like it more if the lyrics weren't so shit. however. Why couldn't they just keep making shit like Power Supply? Flora Fauna was a damn good jam.

Some of my personal favorites:

Pretty much his entire discography is great. He also has a folk project which is pretty nice too.

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_J_Arthur_Keenes_Band/Pamplemousse/
A rad mix of chip/pop. The vocals and guitar/synths mix really well with whatever chip setup they have. Check out Computer Savvy if you want more.

http://an0va.bandcamp.com/album/ego-depletion
A really solid album done mostly with LSDJ and two DMGs. The Id Suite also has some cool experimental shit if you're willing to drop a few bucks.

http://www.8bitpeoples.com/discography/8BP033
Makes me feel nostalgic for some reason. Good for getting maximum comfy/chilling.
Ruby cactus is best cactus.

>What about chiptunes+real instruments
Check out Pastoral I mang. The acoustics come in a bit late for my taste, but it builds up nicely.
Kplecraft also has really interesting instrumentation. They do a bit of goa and other arrangements. A search should bring you right to their site. There might be free downloads on Mulit-Boxer and L 012. I know you can get it on 8bitpeoples as well.
Realm of Mind has a good chip/jazz/metal feel to it. They're pretty good overall.

>>51148216

interesting modern fakebit, but too much wub to it

also, has /mu/ ever made a recommendation chart for chiptunes?

Is there any chiptune that resembles dungeon synth and carries a dark-ish fantasy theme?

On the topic of chiptune, anybody know any good chiptune backing w/rap over it? Something like this-

I made one a few years ago. It was pretty biased towards Australian producers though so it probably needs updating.

I just can't do it.
I have some nice physical copies of chip stuff that I was glad to drop money on though.

>>51149995
>On the topic of chiptune, anybody know any good chiptune backing w/rap over it?
I really don't think good chip/rap exists. I've tried looking but came up empty many times.

>>51149745
>Their live sets are hypnotizing.
I bet. I really need to try to go to some gigs sometime. I don't want to miss out on these cool performances for forever. There's not much of a chipscene where I live though.

>>51149319
Haven't listened to it. What's the album/artist?

>>51150394
Yeah, I can never pay more than like $2 for a digital download.
Maybe he'll be hawking merch at his next show and I'll be able to cop it then.

Alma, Michigan, man. There's a few things sprinkled all around the state, but they're usually in Lansing/Grand Rapids/Detroit. Quite a drive, sadly.
When I finally get competent with LSDJ + acoustic guitar I'm gonna try to find some people to jam with or maybe do some solo projects. I'd like to think that'd I'd be able to stir up a scene around here If I really try. Hopefully I'm not wrong.

>>51150782
You never know man. Just post on chipmusic.org and facebook groups and shit and see if there's anyone from your area interested.

It would be streaming quality though. I need that low-def amiga sound as high-def as possible.

Oh boy this chart is shitty. This needs to be updated ASAP.

I like the timbre that chiptune employs but it needs to be paired with softer waves to really bring them out

>>51153047
>smiletron, random, goto80, george and jonathan, dubmood
muh nigga, that's some good shit

is dubmood chiptune though? i would like to help make a chart. Do you think it should be separated in at least 2 categories: chiptunes (as in able to be played in the real console), fakebit (chiptunes + other instruments, more channels than normal)?

>>51153118
them triangle waves man

>>51153047
some classics on there, but Sabrepulse's Chipbreak Wars needs to be tacked on. Something by Fighter X as well.

>>51153576
Depends how far you want to stretch the definition of fakebit. There's so many producers out there nowadays incorporating elements of chiptune into their productions. And I mean you could go crazy fragmenting the list into categories if you wanted to. Just look at what the vaporwave kids are doing.

>>51153721
Yeah I dunno how First Crush ended up in there over Chipbreak Wars.

>>51152513

You're right, just one category is enough. but is tracker/module (sample based) music chiptune?

From your list I can recommend the ones I have listened to and enjoyed: Anamanaguchi, Random, Trash80, Smiletron, George and Jonathan, Nullsleep and 4mat.

Here are some of my favorites, give then a listen, then we can decide which ones to include.
