Yeah, see, it isn't so much that being a nerd is cool as it is that certain aspects of 'nerd culture' have spread past said culture. Nerds are not cool, and I can't see them being cool anytime soon. It's just like it has always been.

Side note: just a few days ago in my Geometry class, I heard a girl say, "Wow, I got an eighty-five on the test! I'm such a nerd, hahahaha". It baffled me.

"emo" is the new "geek/nerd"


also, defiantly refusing to be labeled is SO geeky. i mean, emo.


Wait. In what sense? Definitely not in the social sense. Are you saying solely in terms of usage, such as "that's so emo"? Because other than that, I don't see any similarities.
