Last time I was in Silicon Valley, I was shocked at how the nerd aesthetic had gone away.
Lots of athletic folks.
I think it’s because Ivy League and Wall Street folks have been invading (or taken as captives), and the Ivy League/Wall Street aesthetic is not exactly geeky.
- mcv 5y agoNerds can be athletic. Loving tech doesn't mean you can't also take care of your body.
- pyuser583 5y agoI’m struggling to find the right word for “type of person” … words like “nerds” and “jocks” can be limiting, since plenty of people are both. The guy who got me into tech and computers was a former green beret. Most athletic guy I’ve ever known, and a genius with tech. I don’t think he was a nerd, but this is really subjective.
