I’ve always been impressed by the demo scene but never tried my hand at one because of the insane programming chops needed. What are your top 3 favorite intros

I don't have three off the top of my head, but running through the entirety of farbrausch's releases starting with "The Polular Demo" [1] will give you a sense of awe. 1: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=9450 https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=9450

  The music part of Elysian is really cool since they wrote a synthesizer and a tool allowing them to make music in Ableton Live (a very popular music production application) and convert it back to code for their demos. Ferris (the guy who wrote most of it) has a video on YouTube explaining how it works and I was absolutely blown away by it.

Anything by Conspiracy or Mercury. For smaller stuff, Fulcrum seems to manage to pack a lot of content into a 4k.
