If you haven't heard of this genre and don't recall my posts from last year about chiptune music, it's essentially music that's made with modified [retro gaming systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamestation-retro) like the original [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riki-8bit-game-collection) or [Atari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atari-1). This 'Da Chip' Daft Punk tribute is a great blend of mainstream electronic music and nerdalicious chiptune.
