The fact that the video uses exactly two colors and isn't even greyscale is probably a big part of it.

- jabroni_salad 6y agoThat is a feature of the content rather than the technology. The original video was a silhouette piece in black & white: https://youtu.be/G3C-VevI36s https://youtu.be/G3C-VevI36s That's also why it has so much presence in the demo scene. It loses very little fidelity when transcribed to different mediums, be it teletext, ascii [1], flip dots [2], or an oscilloscope [3].
