I knew someone would bring that up. I actually thought about whether I should treat it shortly to prevent someone from parroting it _again_. No, I feel like pixel art is different. I grew up with cassettes and CDs, even some disc records, but no. I hate the lack of quality and distortion so much. I think the quote is superficial and condescending and I do not like it.

- arfar 11y agoObviously this is just your opinion, but I think Brian Eno completely on point here, for music at least. The best real-world example I know is the resurgence of cassette tapes. Whenever I go to see a not-very-popular (indie, for want of a better term) band, the merch stand, without fail, has cassettes and vinyls and sometimes no CDs or optional Internet downloads. Is there a practical reason? No, not really, it's all marketing. Making tapes and vinyls is hard, burning CDs is easy, but people want the nostalgia of the more interactive process of flipping tapes and vinyls. I guess they could be moving to those mediums for the "grit" of the sound produced. But that sound can easily and effectively be reproduced with an equalizer, sound filters and effects.
