{{Main|Demogroup}}
Demosceners typically organize in small groups, centered around a coder ([[computer programmer|programmer]]), a musician, a graphician (graphics designer) and a swapper (who spreads their own and others' creations by mail).

Groups always have names, and similarly the individual members pick a handle by which they will be addressed in the large community. While the practice of using handles rather than real names is a borrowing from the cracker/warez culture, where it serves to hide the identity of the cracker from law enforcement, in the demoscene (oriented toward legal activities) it mostly serves as a manner of self-expression. Group members tend to self-identify with the group, often extending their handle with their group's name, following the patterns "''Handle'' of ''Group''" or "''Handle''/''Group''".<ref name="reunanen2010" />{{rp|31–32}}
