The chip scene has indeed grown in scale since the 2000s began, I shared a few beers with the guy who did the Commodordion and he’s one of many reaching youth with what I think many have come to consider modern folk.

Battle of the Bits is a unique and wonderful community plugged to the core by chiptune. I do recall their logo nicely visible on the reddit r/place thing recently which says a lot about the number of participants chipping away!

It's strange how they keep popping up in the most unlikely of places.

First it was a bunch of Russian bootleg MegaDrive games stealing BotB tunes that were included as demos with Shiru's TFM Music Maker.

Then there was a game jam where they all made really excellent TIC-80 games.
