Demogroup
The named crew — coder, graphician, musician, swapper — under whose banner demos, cracks and art are released.
The scene is organised around groups rather than individuals. A group gathers the roles a production needs: one or more coders, a graphician, a musician and a swapper to handle distribution. Members go by handles rather than real names, and the group competes against others at demoparties and on crack charts. Fairlight, The Silents, Razor 1911 and Booze Design are examples that have held together for decades.
Membership is broadcast everywhere: in the cracktro's scrolltext, in the member lists of diskmags, in greetings to allied and rival groups. Joining a group and quitting one are pivotal events in the scene's social life.
