I could not agree more! Some of my very-most-favorite tracks ever, ultimately got to me via https://www.pouet.net and by being a demo soundtrack!! Demo music utterly rules!!!!

Especially so if you're into electronic styles, and even occasionally on a far less tech-y vibe too!

Some examples of less tech-y: "Number One Another One" by Fairlight & CNCD. "Ix" and "Assembly 2004 Invitation" by Moppi from a long time ago - these both have just such utterly-brilliant but very-chill music! And "Track One" by Fairlight too, and there are really loads of other things like these!

Demoscene tunes are not exclusively about bangin' techno, nor tracker-mod-arpeggios ('chiptune-sound') nor synth-leads a-la PM/Future Crew! In my opinion I think demoscene totally does make some of the best tracks in those areas though! (even basically defines the genres!).

I have a whole 'demoscene chill' playlist that I sometimes listen to while I go to sleep! There's loads of 'ambient' tunes out there in the demoscene amongst all the techno!
