Demoscene = The oldest existent digital culture?
category: offtopic [glöplog]
I would question how the demoscene can be considered "popular culture" in any way whatsoever, but if you're not going to define it then there's not much point.
So instead, I'll just say that the demoscene is the oldest existing trunchbuckle.

The demoscene was mentioned in this one retarded cooking show with bacon once! So it's popular culture alright!
I would vote to Tech Model Railway Club at MIT...
OK! Let me try to define it...
There's a discussion that tries to distinguish popular culture from mass culture. So, the terms that I'm using here are considering these basic ideas:
The concept of popular culture goes against the concept of mass culture. A popular culture is a culture created by the people and a mass culture is a culture imposed to the people.
And with the replies, I realize that it isn't the oldest digital culture nor popular.

Is there? Popular culture = "mass culture" (whatever that term is supposed to mean). "Popular" is by definition "what the masses like".There's a discussion that tries to distinguish popular culture from mass culture.

when I have created my first demo, I was coding on my Thomson TO8 and it was the first thing that looks so nice I could look about during dozen of minutes. I've used bin from loriciels to make it and I was sufficiently proud of myself understanding how to use bin but I never code ASM on my TO8.
It was early 1987 or 1988 and the demoscene was born throught telepathies, because it was a share of ideas.
At now, I see only prods and few ideas shared throught portals, each web site are dispatched there could be a thing to be done sharing all sources, imagine a man looking to create demos and looks at links with full sources !

How about this?
The demoscene was probably the first globally connected subculture of creative hackers. Globally - as in the computerized parts of the world. Creative - as in revolving around audiovisual works. Subculture - as a group of people with rather distinct sets of artefacts & ideas.
The precursors to this were e.g. phreakers, hackers, academics, artists and activists but the demoscene was either more widely popular or more tightly connected.

Popular = by the people. The idea of "mass" is quite different of "popular".
When THEY remove a term from your dictionary or make some terms synonymous, THEY are trying to brainwash you. OK? OK. OK then.

Who is THEY?
he is cleary refering to THE MAN
While understanding the past is important, knowing the direction of the road ahead is even more important. Go make a demo about it ;)
also remember this: with great power comes great responsibility!
