Is that what you think I was trying to do?

Does it need to be more than a vague term, if it, when entered into google or youtube, results in the exact thing I was talking about? Music, made using a "tracker".

Scene music or chiptune, meanwhile, both lead to far less specific results. Same for DAW.

As for retro computer music as a genre, I never claimed it should ALL be called "tracker music", you're the one who went "which necessitates a tracker".

I'm perfectly happy with chiptune as a word for any and all retro music. Tracker music can be called chiptune, but not all chiptune, is tracker music.
