• dear ep, you're an idiot.
  
  Ok let's try to see this from objective side:
  
  Your post shows exactly how much you know about demoscene. Demoscene's main idea, the thing the distincts it from other "multimedia art" subcultures, is that it's realtime, it's all about technical excellence. How can you demonstrate techincal excellence on a video or animation? You can't! And also you just got to face the fact that even if demos were made as animations, they still wouldn't attract masses any more than now, only other lunatics similar to demosceners and that's exactly how we want it to be and no one sees any of that as a problem. There is nothing to save in the scene.
  
  Also demoscene is all about competition. Who can make something better than others and part of that competition is bragging about your own stuff. When someone does that it just gives you urge to try to make something better than them so that it can be your turn to brag about it. And that's how it's been since the very beginning.
  
  It's a tradition. You point out in your post that traditions are against progress, but you must have noticed that everything and everyone has tradition. I bet even you have some tradition (in your family, or just your own) that you do. Traditions are, as mentioned earlier, a big part that makes demoscene what it is, an unique subculture that really has nothing alike anywhere else. Still despite strong traditions demoscene has progressed a lot during the years.
  
  About your ideas about design. Apparently you haven't watched much demos if you think all the demos are dark and gloomy. There are plenty of other kind of demos too. You have to understand that other people have different taste than you and not everyone has to try to make you happy. Some people like dark and gloomy demos. Other people like fun happy-happy-joy-joy demos. And also something in the middle. People do what they like themselves, not what you or the masses like.
  
  About "boozing". Demoparties are all about social interaction, having fun with friends. A party. It's nice to enjoy a few (or more ;) beers with good company, bbq some food and basically being outdoors. And alcohol also removes some social tension. It's just fun.
  
  Saying that when we drink alcohol we will die in an alcohol related car accident is just plain stupid. Alcohol affects differently on each people. I think everyone knows the health-issues about alcohol and what it does to you, but at least I much rather just have fun than worry about every goddamn danger to my health in the world (because there's plenty, not just alcohol :p).
  
  Wow. I never thought I'd write this much to pouet.

• Really good looking scenes, but a bit too flybyish for me and once again I don't really like the music. And the ending is weird.
