I don't know about that. I knew a guy in high school who threw big, decently wild parties (with more than nerds present), and was also a legitimate piano prodigy. Sometimes after a few drinks he'd sit down at his piano and play something, and every time the house would quickly fall silent and everyone listened. People, even drunken teenagers, respected his obviously great skill, and not just privately.
