I get the idea but these feel like those demoscene things people make for really old 8-bit computers.

What I am looking for is inspiration for presenting some actual content, for example, stories with a beginning, middle and end, with meaningful call to action forms and text that is designed to be read rather than 'shapes on a page'.

I am not dismissing what goes on here, or even the demoscene, it is great to see. However, I think that people are struggling to read these days, so lots of text, no matter how well presented, is just not what people read. How do you get people totally absorbed without it being video or a game?

I understand the UX of the UK government websites where information is presented very clearly and is engaging (if you need to do something to do with health, taxes and whatnot). But this super-clear approach doesn't convey that an immense amount of effort has been spent on presentation.

I am also bored of normal Wordpress style websites with the tedious carousels and whatnot, Squarespace fits this 'yawn' style too.

Although I did not find a website to be deeply engaged in with loadmo.re, I am inspired and impressed. There is much to borrow from here and many 'experiments' that are trying to do things new. Props to the site maintainer for doing the research to find these 'diamonds (in the rough)'.
