This reminded me of Ludum Dare right now, because the rankings for the most recent jam are just in: the top 100 is almost exclusively comprised of faux 8bit games. I don't mind the graphics so much, usually, because they are only retro to a point, and they do tend to cheat in places that enable the end results to be pretty. But if you look at the top 100 of sound/music rankings, almost all of those are absolutely jarring cacophonies.
