uncle-x: because we love mfx! that is why everything could be found in your works. heh :-)

for me, social means society and the place of a man in it. so there is great field of research. we'll show what we like. everything is about that.

i'll try kooma, couldn't ran it before at machines available.

thanks.

What you call "political/social content" in demos is mostly just a pose, an odd showcase of a diffuse attitude, accompanied by some funny slogans. I think I have yet to see a modern and convincing example of a "political demo".

The best one in this genre (and even semi-serious) is still fr-05: konsum.

In any case, your list doesn't make much sense.

when you do a search for "political" you'll only get this: [url=http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=10594]

how do antimoney or lostvegas by 3state have political or social content?

All Minimalanimal demos contain deep and meaningful social commentary. Honest.

but don't be fooled.

the social commentary in konsum is in the music and the photos, not in the text. everything worthwhile in the text is just quotes from somewhere else :)

i hate demos with messages, especially if they are political. demos should only consist of hardcore code and eye/ear candy.

Yeah, me too.

I also think paintings should only be landscapes and all movies should be only about two guys trying to kill each other.
