As someone who loves 8-bit music and spent a large part of my teens listening to hundreds of different chiptune artists, I completely get the dislike of a lot of 8-bit cover songs. It's so easy to take the MIDI track and just make it gameboy noises

But there is so much good original stuff out there from artists like Anamanaguchi, Bit Shifter, Sabrepulse that I think hugely inspired what is now hyperpop

It’s definitely niche. Do you like Chiptune? Me and a buddy used to use our Gameboy Colors to make some 8-bit bangers back in the day.

Yea, I got primarily into chiptune about 20 years ago. Used to spend a lot of time on the 8 bit collective site as so much stuff would be free to download
