8-bit

8-bit music, also known as chiptune, is a genre characterized by the synthesized electronic sounds produced by vintage computers, game consoles, and arcade machines from the 80s and early 90s. The sound palette is defined by simple waveforms, such as square and sawtooth waves, which evoke a sense of nostalgia for the era of early video gaming. Artists within the genre, like Bit Shifter and 8-Bit Weapon, often utilize actual retro computing hardware or software emulations to craft melodies and rhythms that mimic the constrained, yet creatively resourceful audio capabilities of systems like the NES or Commodore 64. The result is a cheerfully lo-fi and retro-futuristic style of music that resonates with both older gamers who lived through the original 8-bit era and younger audiences drawn to its unique and chipper sound.
