    Wait... So the kids I used to make fun of back in high school had different groups? I thought they were all losers.

    I've always said a geek is a nerd with social skills.

    I'm a Star Wars lover and Aliens. I love all music but tend to gravitate to classic rock.

    Is that a geek or a nerd?? lol

    Thanks to the internet and comic book and superhero blockbusters, nerd acceptance is at an all time high. It's much easier to classify yourself as a nerd now and not be shunned. Oddly enough, it's actually become quite trendy. I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing, but something that I find irritating is the fashionable nerd. Fashionable nerd is an oxymoron.

    Geeks are the hipsters of the uncool. You can work at an Apple store and be sort of funky and still be a geek. As a nerd, your only funk is your smell. I am a lifelong nerd. There is no glory to be had in nerd.

    Geek : Tech-savvy, smart....not overly buff, but sexy
    Nerd: Smart. Noodly. Not sexy.

    I identify with both nerd and geek, and all my friends are the same. I feel like the two are basically interchangeable.

    Exactly. Nerds can never be cool or hip.
