"if you wonder what the demoscene is all about, you should imagine a huge underground community of young people organized into groups which compete in the art of creating realtime multimedia presentations called demos. demos combine realtime 3d graphics, 2d effects and bitmap graphics into one fluid presentation that is synchronized to music, somewhat similar to music videos. it is to be emphasized that 'realtime' is really the keyword here as a demo is never just a prerendered animation."
