I‘m aware. It is also a fact that the average age of the participants is rising. The foundation of the subculture and its cultural cachet was always the warez scene where it originated, revolving around tight-knit groups of young dudes that participated in a forbidden pleasure and formed tribes that competed with each other.
That energy is dead and gone. Once something hangs in a museum, its still art, but it is no longer alive, no longer evolving and becoming.
Too bad you're downvoted. I was a pretty active member of the scene back then (Imphobia group) but nowadays, everyone's getting older. I'd say it's a fact.
But don't underestimate the energy of nostalgia. It's still there and, AFAIC, the scene and I : until death us do part !
