I think the praised "nerds" you are referring to are not the original nerds. While nerds are celebrated in shows like The Big Bang Theory I think exceptional interests or abilities are mostly not included in the pop-cultural definition anymore. It is mostly about being a virgin, bad at sports and playing video games.
- nibs 10y agoNerd is mostly == IQ still, I think you mean geek.

- surge 10y agoA "revenge of the nerds" archetype is celebrated in The Big Bang Theory, not how actual nerds are. Some of its for the sake of comedy, but its more a stereotypical perception being celebrated not what actual nerdy people look/act like.
