Personally, I like the vast majority of nerd culture as I received it. Lots of focus on text, do-o-cracy, intellectual games. ESR's "portrait of a hacker" harmonized with me well when I read it - it did not influence my life, but I found it to be pretty astute. I am sad to see it passing, but I also know that Change Happens.
