What is the demoscene?
Short answer: A subculture in the computer underground culture universe, dealing with the creative and constructive side of technology, proving that a computer can be used for much more than writing a letter in MS-Word and hence emphasize on computer technology as just another medium that can transport ideas and styles, show off skills and express opinions etc. Another theory says, that it’s just a bunch of boozing computer nerds, programming weird, useless multimedia stuff.
