It's interesting to note that the page mentions that "much bitpop is made in Britain" and then goes on to list 11 names, 5 of which are Swedish (Pluxus, Puss, GOTO 80) or have Swedish names (Monster & Maskiner, Slagsmålsklubben).
Also, don't Machinae Supremacy use a SIDstation and not a C64? (it's mentioned in the SID article) Plus their style is very different from the others listed here that I have heard, although they do play C64-covers. Oh yeah, and apparently they're Swedish too. :-)
I'll shut up now.

I finally removed "much bitpop is made in Britain" since no one argued it should stay.

[edit] How is this different than chiptune
Isn't this just another name for chiptune? Redirect/merge anyone?--Geedubber 00:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Chiptunes are music composed entirely on the hardware that is intended to play them back, i.e. the SID in the C=64 or Paula in the Amiga, bitpop is more conventional electronica that happens to make use of the old soundchips from legacy computers to provide a more distinct sound from every other electro act. So no; it's most definitely not another name for chiptune which as I said is purely produced using the soundchips of a single computer and often is left in the original format.
