There used to be in crisp high quality, a video by George Michael, entitled "Freek" on YT. It was rather weird, and terribly off-brand for him before he died.

Does anyone know where I can find that music video? Any help would be most appreciated, and I hope that some of you freeks could benefit.

George doing that Cyberpunk aesthetic before it was cool.

you aren't kidding, i'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now and he could step out of this video into that game and it's a perfect match!

That aesthetic can be found in the Cyberpunk TTRPG books (on which 2077 is based on) going all the way back to the 1980's when only us nerds were into it.

I wonder if George was a closeted nerd.

I used to play Cyberpunk 2020! Well; mostly just rolling up characters not so much actually campaigning. Car Wars, Mechwarrior, Starc Wars, GURPS... rolled so many characters.

I honestly don't recall the art very much though just the covers!

Steve Jackson was a legend!

The musicians I know who aren't closet nerds are vocal nerds. We, uh, had to do something with all that time alone
