What is Chiptune?

Chiptune:

Chiptune is called CHIP because it is based off of 8-bit and 16-bit video games sounds. It became popular in the 80's with the rise of video games and was be used in many pop songs. BPM is not so much a factor in this genre. The sounds/samples used make this genre. Turn up the "bit-crusher" in your music making program and hear the difference! People still use these sounds today to create a Nostalgic atmosphere. This sound is found in future beat/bass and dubstep when not solely chiptune.

Examples:

imo that Pop It remix isn't a good example, it leans too much towards future bass

I don't think it sounds much like Future Bass at all imo. Seems like a fitting example of Chiptune.

I was a bit quick about finding examples. Absrdst is a Chiptune dude tho. And it's more Chiptune than the original. But please supply more tracks you think fit, the more the better

Edit: here's the one I meant/was thinkin of

Maybe i'm just having a misconception.. but isn't chiptune be supposed to sound like this? :

That's 100% Chiptune/8-bit. My examples are more Chiptune influenced I suppose. Either way, Being under the future beats/bass category, there is also some leeway for chip-oriented tunes
