 During the late 2000s, a new wave of chiptune culture took place, boosted by the release of software such as LittleSoundDJ for the Game Boy.This new culture has much more emphasis on live performances and record releases than the demoscene and tracker culture, of which the new artists are often only distantly aware.In recent years, 8-bit chiptune sounds, or "video game beats", have been used by a number of mainstream pop artists.
