TGI explains:
Here, "geek" is defined as: "One who posses great enthusiasm for and deep, technical knowledge of a particular subject or activity for primarily recreational purposes. The level of enthusiasm and depth of knowledge, in addition to time, money, and effort spent on the subject, is often baffling to the geek's associates."
So while we have the more archetypical gaming and computer geeks, it's also possible to be a band geek, a feng shui geek, a needlepoint geek, a copyediting geek, a Marcel Proust geek etc. ad nauseum.
