8 bit beats sound the way they do because of numbers, not taste. The old machines had no sample memory, so a drum was a burst of noise or a cycle stretched into a kick, and a melody was a pulse wave with a duty cycle instead of a filter sweep. 8 bit explained in one line: fewer options, louder character, and aliasing that engineers spent years removing and producers now add on purpose.
8 bit type beats, NES and Sega Genesis references
What an 8 bit type beat keeps is the palette. The nes type beat side runs on square leads and short decay, the sega genesis type beat side has an FM edge that sounds expensive next to it, and both come with the drums doubled by a real kick, because chip percussion has nothing below the low mids. That is the arrangement question: keep the melody purely chip, let a modern low end carry the track, and the 8 bit beats read as 8 bit music genre over a hip hop rhythm rather than nostalgia. The mix decides whether the trick convinces, which is where a chiptune vs 8 bit difference you can hear shows up.
