About the origins of c64 demoscene

It almost feels to me that C64 demoscene is somewhat younger than the Amiga demoscene. Would that be (historically) correct thing to say? Not by much, but kinda couple of years.

Many of the screens and effects often seen on C64 seem to have done earlier on the Amiga. (like 1986 vs. 1988) - This doesn't surprise me, since Copper makes raster programming so much more pleasant. But C64 setup was still a pretty usable in late 1980s, and much cheaper too, so I wonder if the C64 demoscene did start by trying to imitate stuff seen on Amiga? I mean just a random example of a 1986 Amiga intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg96m76o7JA

Wrong.

Nobody pulled the statement "The demo scene emanates from the cracking scene" out of his/her nose.

1) It says so on Wikipedia. That doesn't mean it's right. But it's on you to disprove it. You can also edit the Wikipedia page like anyone else.

2) It also says so in a few research papers / books. That also doesn't mean it's right, but it's on you to disprove it.

3) It says so in a dozen interviews / personal recounts. That also doesn't mean it's right, but it's on you to disprove it.

(1), (2) and (3) make it "common knowledge" or "informed best guess". You need to disprove that to plant a different "informed best guess" in its place. That's how it works.

Until then it's your opinion against "common knowledge".

Same way I can say demoscene doesnt comes from crack scene because Oswald and Krill says so in csdb (it doesnt mean its right but you have to disprove it), and thus it is common knowledge. (1) and (2)

:D

you came empty handed man.

Regarding "scene": This is like trying to determine when consciousness emerged :). Regarding influence of stuff possible on a platform a to platform b, I'd just follow the timeline of hardware availability and when it got popular among programmers. Hardware -> style of effects.

yes, not in a nice way, but I am showing you, why your arguments are worthless. prove it with facts, and not by pointing to other opinions.

Krill must be closest to the truth, that they evolved side by side at the same time.

Otherwise imho its a myth by crackers wanting some credit from the demoscene.

first intros and demos are at the same time.
