Chip Tune is both a continuity from the haydays of music on old 80's personnal computer/consoles and a part of the retro-computer mouvement.
 
It is also an underground electronic subgenre, or an inspiration in various musical performances.
This is called circuit bending.
 
==Media impact and controversies==
 
The so-called world famous Timbaland (american succesfoul musical producer) was part of a controversy the day he was suited by a finnish Commodore-scener for having ripped entire parts of of one of his song into a Nelly furtado hit. I knew he was a talentless overrated robber.

It is also to note that the SID from C64 is a sought-after vintage electronical chip, and some less scrupulous peoples actually cannibalise C64 units to remove the Sid chip and put it into musical electronic effect racks.
