When I went to high school in 2010, nerds were much less defined by having an eccentric hobby like DnD, and much more defined by taking a shitload of AP courses in an attempt to get accepted to a top tier college. And that's not negative: going to an elite university like Harvard is definitively cool.
Describing yourself as nerdy or geeky doesn't have a negative connotation. The nerds of the late 20th century are now literally filthy rich, and everyone has a computing device in their pocket, uses the internet 16 hours a day, and was into game of thrones prior to the last season.
