And those hackers became competitive to see who could put the coolest looking intro in front of the hacked/cracked software bragging about who crack it.

And then those intros eventually gave rise to what they called the Demo Scene where "hackers" would gather to see who could write the coolest visual/audio experience under various levels of constraint.

And many of the graphic algorithms derived by hackers in the demo scene gave rise to the algorithms used in today's 3D videocards.
