Fake Groups
Demosceners often form fake groups, which are essentially secret identities for making humorous or offending productions without scathing their original reputation - people in a fake group hide behind a pseudonym (which, considering their demoscene handles, usually becomes a pseudo-pseudonym). This type of masquerading is often just performed to confuse naïve newcomers to the scene; while some fake identities are never revealed for their time of activity, in most cases a large portion of unrelated people are aware of the real persons behind the spoof.
Famous fake groups include NEXTEMPIRE, HiRMU, Elitegroup, rECTUM cAUDA, FiRG!, ODD, Trepaan, Jumalauta and Speedfisters.

Famous quotes containing the words fake and/or groups:
“The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, “I love children because they’re so honest.” There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent’s signature like a child.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
