Kids will learn anything that gives them social standing or self-worth in another way, whatever it takes to be a cool kid.

I think the point that OP was trying to make is the three groups are dynamic based on the topic. So the groups are not the same for biology, maths and for literature.
- Lord-Jobo 4mo agoNerds are a group that have a separate definition of social peer and “cool” but aspire just as much as other groups to achieve social status or coolness. It’s exceptionally rare to encounter any person, adult or otherwise, that genuinely holds no value in any opinion of another. And even those people hold to their own self evaluations which do not spawn from pure noise.
