The Evolution of 8-Bit Art

Who here actually like the '8-Bit' music. Yes it's interesting and I think it would be cool to listen to for about 15 min., but I don't see how someone could go to a live concert and listen for over an hour, or how people base music careers off of it.

Have you ever been to BlipFest? I certainly can't listen to many chiptune artists for long, but there's a few that make really quality stuff that I can listen to all day. Anamanaguchi is one. Double Helix is just a really fun song to listen to, and the accompanying real instruments make it rock (both literally and non).

I have been to quite a few chiptune concerts. I love this shit.

I've listened a little but unless its really good or references a favorite game and its music its not so great to me. I've yet to pay for any

For some reason chiptune is very appealing to me so this happens to be very interesting. Nice find.
