I don't think this is true. I think that there are "nerdy" things that have become trendy (like thick framed glasses, playing retro video games and music, or being smart), but its still not cool to be a true nerd. (or maybe "nerd" is being redefined)
See this Portlandia sketch that explains my point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Jbz4c_WKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Jbz4c_WKA
- Jtsummers 9y agoMe last night: So I've been working through some math books for fun... People I was with: Wait, go back. You're doing math for fun? All claiming to be nerds, all hanging out at a local barcade (trivia night, hobby of mine). Nerd culture is cool, being a nerd is not. They do appreciate that I can answer about 80% of the trivia questions myself, though.
