I know that, but those aren't nerds. A lot of those people are hipsters. Being a nerd is an all encompassing thing. It's gotta be who you are, the way you speak, walk, act etc. That's how it was in the past. Not alpha males that like playing video games.
Trust me if you put these two guys side to side and ask a woman who's the nerd
She's going to tell you the guy on the right. But if you say they both have nerdy hobbies she's gonna be like "sure, but he's different" when referring to the guy on the left.
Only certain aspects of being a nerd has been popularized while being socially awkward and uncoordinated hasn't been. Y'all are taking a part of something, making it cool
then wanna pretend like the whole thing is cool.
