8-bit music refers to a style of music created using the sound chips found in vintage video game consoles and computers from the 1980s. This music is characterized by its simple melodies and limited sound range, often produced using square waves, triangle waves, and noise channels. The nostalgic sound evokes memories of early gaming experiences. The term "8-bit" comes from the 8-bit architecture of these devices, which limited the complexity of the audio. Today, 8-bit music is celebrated in various forms, including remixes and original compositions, and has influenced modern genres like chiptune and electronic music.
