I'm surprised Chiptune falls into the "Downtempo" category. Chiptune music tends to be upbeat.

  Very true. The best unifying characteristic of that group is "music which critics have traditionally sneered at". Many of the genre labels in it are labels which were critic/industry-imposed, and were disliked or rejected by almost all the artists it was applied to - "New age" and "easy listening" in particular. The author(s) of this page doesn't quite subscribe to those condescending attitudes it seems, but they inherit the framework from those who did. Overall, in all the genres, the project reveals its biases by having extremely variable resolution. It's not a bad project as such, it's probably as fair as any such project can hope to be - but that's why we rather need quantitative approaches. Echonest's "Every noise at once", everynoise.com is a good example of that.
