I stumbled across this and thought I'd share. It doesn't really focus on the music of the demo scene but part 5 about the art scene has some classic tunes and its definitely interesting. I'm guessing at least a few people here may have been part of this scene. I was myself, and actually know some of the interviewees (although we were like 15 and only talked via bbs). Aside from the art scene and hacking episodes, its kind of dull, but interesting to see how things developed. Especially Ward Christensen, who is just like, 'i needed to send someone file one day, so I created XMODEM. I didn't want to call a bunch of people one day, so in a week, I wrote a BBS program.' I wish I was that smart and productive.

I watched the entire thing about 932 times. I often put it in the background when I'm doing something else. It's a super in-depth look at the BBS world of the 80s and 90s. The guy really did his research. Some of the people interviewed are top tier engineers who have changed the face of computing forever.
For a guy who grew up in the 300/1200 bauds era, this was super interesting to me. Shame they didn't touch on the demoscene aspect of BBSing though.
Highly recommended! The whole thing was put up on youtube a long time ago.

Hey this is also a good movie, about hackers in the 80's - 90's.
