Demoscene

Demoscene music is a subgenre that emerged from the demoscene culture, an underground digital art movement where programmers, graphic artists, and musicians create visually and sonically impressive demos that push the boundaries of computer hardware. Characterized by its use of chiptunes, MOD files, and tracker software, demoscene music blends retro, synthwave, and electro influences, evoking nostalgia through the intricate manipulation of sound waves and limited sound channels. Artists like PRESS PLAY ON TAPE, Lizardking, and Jeroen Tel demonstrate this genre's emphasis on technical skill, creativity within constraints, and a strong sense of community, often harking back to the days of classic video games and early computing.
