The demoscene is a worldwide non-commercial network of creative minds involved in the making of so called 'demos'.
A demo is a way to demonstrate your abilities in programming (that's the coding part), music and graphics. It is a kind of non-interactive multimedia presentation, the difference with a classical animation being that the display of a demo is computed in real time (like people performing a play compared to showing a movie), making computing power considerations the biggest challenge. A great demo shows what kind of graphic and sound effects can really be done by using a specific computer hardware to its full potential.
People who have never seen computer demos or who don't understand the creation process behind demos, often find computer demos quite boring. Computer demos are made for other other people interested in demos. Demo makers continue to push themselves to the limits of their abilities by making these short demos to this day.
This is not an easy concept to grasp for an outsider, but please browse through my timeline, and I think you'll get it eventually!
