First off I fully understand the program and it's lot easier for me to make right now. I would love to create and record other kinds of music (I also play guitar and do some pretty terrible vocals), but I don't have the equipment or money for the equipment. As a genre it feels like the lo-fi/punk of the electronic music world to me, and that's a big draw. Taking something like a gameboy (in this case emulator) and seeing how far you can push it, and how organic of a sound you can make is a fun, challenging experience. But the biggest thing about chiptunes is the community. I've met a lot of people and have helped work to develop one of the largest communities for it in the city where I go to college. I'm yet to meet a person in the scene that I haven't liked immediately. Everybody has seemed genuine, and loves doing what they do for the music and not for many other reasons.
