Computers, video games, and comic heros all became widley popular.

Consuming large unhealthy amounts of media is what became possible.

Hold on, I gotta check my RSS feeds while aggregating my podcasts and emailing on my phone.

As technology increases our culture has to assimilate that.

Also, your forgetting the distinction between the nerd and geek.

Used to be that it was an insault that jocks would call us for being weird/smart. We were overweight, living with our parents, the only women giving us the time of day are eather crazy or want money...

Now... it saddens me to say thatI think im the last of this kind of nerd. Im a dieing breed, now nerds are "good looking" and have good bodys, what ever happend to the classic overwight frame that the nerds of old typicaly had.
And what is it with all the hot girlfirends. I mean come on... Share the weath guys...

Its true, im the last of the old nerd class... and now, now we see main streem nerds, nerds with hotchicks, tatoos, and homes of their own...

Whats the world coming too...

It's simple Spidermew.

Everyone can get some except you. That's why.

EDIT: Forgot to add this. I'm just messin' with you bro. Don't worry about being the self-proclaimed "last old nerd". Just think of it as a kickass epic title. :thumbsup:

that doesn't really border on nerd, more along that lines of an animefan.

(see the "Difference between Otaku and Weeaboo" thread by Animugen for an explanation. No link cause I'm lazy haha.)

if any of you feels nerd in your heart there is no real reason to abandon your position. Better still if you enjoy it.... /:O

Thanks to the countless anime shows ofter by cartoon newtwork, it has become popular too.  Remember when everybody like pokemon  :-&
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life!

Geek:
Quote from: Wikipedia
A peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc.
Nerd:
Quote from: Wikipedia
Nerd is a term often bearing a derogatory connotation or stereotype, that refers to a person who passionately pursues intellectual activities, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests that are age inappropriate rather than engaging in more social or popular activities

We are just mixing nerd and geek terms too much.

WE are a dying breed. And I'm proud of it.

I'm both of them. All my life until I started college I had obscure interest labeled age inappropriate. E.G.: I liked reading about WWII instead of watching kid soap operas.

Nerds were the classic overweight frame? When I think of nerds, I think skinny guys with zero muscles lol. Most of the classic TV nerds were skinny (Steve Urkle, Screech, etc). Revenged of the Nerds movies never really had the fat guy lol. Now if you're going with the Comic Book nerd, yea those guys are heavy set and all that stuff. When I think nerd, I think computer people lol.

That could also be location based and whatnot. Out here if you were skinny, then everyone liked you, and you tended to get to hang out with "cooler" people, but if you were overweigt  you were shuned allot by the other kids..
