Never read this before, thanks for submitting.
Demos are what got me interested in programming back in my teens and in the mid-late 90s I attended what few North American demo parties there were (NAID, Spring Break, and later Pilgrimage), even competing in and winning one (Spring Break '99).
It's been great to see the scene is still active and while things have changed dramatically with insanely powerful GPUs and mature 3D graphics APIs, not as defined by the hardware limitations as it was back then, it's still a really interesting space. I highly recommend getting involved.
