I love the demoscene, and am very active in it. But that specific web site linked here hasn't been updated in 15 years. No clue why this got submitted...?
No idea, but I'm a simple man. I see "demoscene," I upvote.

What year should we put on the title above? archive.org has it back to 2004: https://web.archive.org/web/20041206000418/https://www.demos...
2004 might be correct. It mentions Breakpoint, the demo party I had been the main organizer of, which last ran in 2010. So any case, this site hasn't been updated since 2010.
2004 it is until proven otherwise. Thanks!

#23This topic is discussed here every now and then (because it is awesome). Most recently at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37927344

Is live-streaming many demoparties, and outside of those, is streaming demos.

Honestly it's probably just that demoscene minded people see the word and click because of nostalgia and belonging. You'd rather upvote this than an AI link or something about ventures. It's part of our identity :)

#25And in case you ever wish to experience a demo party yourself, here is an always up-to-date list of upcoming parties around the globe.
(Yes, these days there are a lot of streaming-only parties, and that's very nice, but no, this is nowhere comparable of being actually part of the fun on-site. So leave your sofa and go to the real thing, please.)
And yes, the US demoscene sadly is pretty much dead for a couple of decades now (with a couple of EU sceners getting exported there from time to time).

Re: Demoscene (2004)
#28Literally (literally literally, not figuratively literally) every time I see the word "demoscene" after not seeing it for a few days, I think it's the name of a geologic age, like pleistocene.
How did those two words get mushed together for this, anyway? Nobody talks about the hackingscene, or javascene, or gamescene, or magicscene (the trading card game), or baseballscene, or anything else like that.

#29Ah, Demoscene, my favorite of the Ancient Greek philosophers, who once wrote, 'In the realm of pixels and sound, true wisdom lies, not in what is seen, but in what is rendered in the mind's eye.' He was quite ahead of his time as you can see.

#30I dream of a 21st century AI demo scene that competes to get the most AI out of the least hardware just for the glory.
That's basically the AI industry already!
In 2008 there was a Demoparty sponsored by Nvidia https://demozoo.org/parties/554/
