8-bit music is a genre that originated from the sound chips of early video game consoles and computers. It is characterized by its simple, electronic sound and use of chiptune instruments such as square waves, triangle waves, and noise generators. The genre has gained popularity in recent years, with artists creating covers and remixes of popular songs in the 8-bit style. The 8-Bit Big Band, 8-Bit Arcade, and 8 Bit Universe are examples of artists who specialize in creating 8-bit music.
