Can you expand on this? I used to be active in the demoscene 2 decades ago, but haven't really kept up lately, how have they changed?

80's and 90's it was mainly about pushing the limits of hardware (and some art). Now the demos don't look as innovative comparing to games, VFX. I think only C64 and some other artificially limited platforms still are doing very interesting stuff but it's very little of it.

When I was active in the scene 20 years ago, this was exactly what people were saying, though. :)
