This Christmas, spread the pito.

For those of you who don't know Pitochip, it's the gift that keeps on giving... Let's take a moment to learn about its history...

«Pitochip is a political submovement of Mexican chipmusic. The name is an "albur", a typically-Mexican double-entendre referring, on one hand, to the phallus and, on the other, to the word “pitero”, which denotes low quality from a privileged point of view. The reappropriation of this notion allows artists from the pitochip movement to produce music that is also a satire of itself. Rooted in self-deprecation, stereotypical humour, and the desire to exploit the musical and graphic potential of discarded or modified videogame consoles and computers, Pitochip channels this cultural love of laughter, seen as a sign of divinity for prehispanic peoples.

Steering away from the anglocentric hegemonic internet culture and strongly influenced by Mexican vernacular memes, YouTube poops, and shitposting, leading artists including @labandadelosvergasos (LBDLV), hyper-realist mock band from Chiapas, and @nagareboshit founder of netlabel @pitochip-records, provide their take on local rhythms (cumbia, reggaetón, música norteña) and more marginalized ones (loli-core, chiptrash), broadening the cultural aesthetics of chiptune. Themes of their impeccably produced yet professionally DIY songs include unemployment, toxic masculinity, trivialization, narco-driven violence, the absurdity of suburban living conditions, and the alienation of digital fandoms. In recent years, emerging artists and curators have participated in the movement. It has led to dialogues and collaborations with sister movement chichiptune a feminist and gender-inclusive appropriation of the crude wordplay, also known under the labels femichiptune or post-pitochip.

Pitochip doesn't make fun of chiptune. It makes fun OUT OF chiptune.»
