Definitions
An enthusiast of the demoscene -- the subculture focused on creating real-time audiovisual demonstrations as technical and artistic showcases, typically pushing limited hardware to its limits. A demofreak both creates and consumes demoscene work, often with deep knowledge of low-level programming, graphics, and sound. The term is affectionate and self-applied within the scene, similar to how 'metalhead' works in music culture.
As a committed demofreak, he spent weekends pushing a Commodore 64 to do things it was never meant to do.
