An interesting and very true text from an interesting guy about the scene feeling.

Interesting, pessimistic. He does write some true stuff about the old-school scene feeling - he (like us) experienced it first hand. I don't agree with his views on the future though. Things usually balance themselves out. But anyway, that part is off topic, so let's just leave it.

I don't know the guy at all, but like I said he's right about the scene feeling, and I agree that it's sad that it's fading away. However, this is nothing new. It happened to lots of generations before us: the era, the "feeling" they grew up in changed, disappeared. Maybe it will happen to our children too.

Csabo, like the hippi era?  Woodstock lives. We can mention a lot of things. But I'm interested only in the scene...
As for racism, I think there is only one "human race", as we share the same number of genes. So there is no point in talking about that.

Can someone (roughly) translate the text? I'd be interested.
A little story that fits the topic: Some former TEK-Members from the Amiga-Division (now: Neoscientists) released a PS2-Demo on TUM 2006. (Have a look: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=28494 , note the oldschoolish music and read the upscroller at the end  ) They told me, they also can feel some lack of what you would call "scene-spirit". Anyone who attended BP06 might have noticed that aswell: Especially the PC-Demo-Compos induce a shift from "valueing code" to "valueing technoid graphics and design". Dr.Doom^IRIS started a discussion about this on pouet too.
p.s.: Tomcat has a nice shirt in his shop that shows an iconic picture of a tractor and the word "paraszt" underneath it. Sadly, he hasn't got *these* shirts in his shop at breakpoint.

I think the "valuing graphics and design" vs "valuing code" has started in the PC demoscene community a long time ago, but that again is off-topic. I tried the video for the above mentioned demo but can't play it, doesn't know what codec is needed.
As for translation, it's sooo long... And not that important/interesting Here's my one sentence summary: old-school scene times: good; new times now-that-the-internet-has-ruined-everything: bad.
"Paraszt" used to mean simply peasant. It had no negative meaning as far as I know. In current slang (well, we used to use this way back in the 80's too) it means "uneducated person", lamer, basically it's offensive. I don't find that t-shirt funny at all... Eh, maybe I'm just getting too old.

Lol! Csaba internet ruined you too :D
Sometimes I look back and ask to myself the Question:"Why do I loose my spare time doing so weird stuff on this more-than-a-calculator-of-my-past-highschool machine?", and I feel I'm scared 'coz some possible answers.
Well, probably Tomcat crossed the other answer.
Which's yours?
