It’s definitely not dead. Some great demos have been released in recent years in JavaScript / WebGL, e.g. using visual tools like cables. https://cables.gl/

Those are great demos, but does it belong to the demoscene category?

The Wikipedia entry on demoscene seems to specify that it's about impressive demos on old computers.

Then wikipedia is wrong. The demoscene is in part about pushing the limits of whatever platform you're on. But another way of looking at the scene is as an art movement based around real-time audiovisuals. The latter is of course a much more ambiguous definition, but there's a certain shared spirit and a defined aesthetic that holds across a lot of different hardware, rendering techniques and formats.

Where does it specify that? (and if it did, it would be wrong)
