What I think the actual term of nerd or geek is: People who are either socially awkward or bullied and found interests for escapism.
I got bullied tons in primary school and it isn't surprising. A Catholic school full of rich little ****s and I was from a low-income earning family. My hair wasn't nice and always tied back into a curly pony-tail, I didn't have the actual uniform so everyday I had to wear my sports uniform. I couldn't find the right school shoes too (they had to be in brown and most stores only sold black). On those days where we could wear casual clothes most of the girls were in pricey looking outfits that I don't think young kids should be wearing while I just wore tracksuit pants and a t-shirt/jacket with runners. Plus I was chubby, so of course I got a lot of more crap thrown at me. All the boys would go and play soccer on the oval while the girls watched and gossiped about stuff. Instead I just walked around the oval thinking to myself about the stuff I liked and most of it that I still do: Pokemon and wrestling.
Today, I am very anti-social due to problems in the past years. I prefer to be on my own and do my own thing. I still enjoy wrestling even though I haven't been watching much lately, I love Pokemon and video games, I listen to a lot of hard rock music and I really like role playing and writing for e-feds and RPGs. A lot of these interests are great for my imagination and creativity, ever since I was little those were two of my best qualities. These hobbies/interests help me escape when I am down and real life is being a bitch.
Anyway, the last few years the whole nerd/geek thing took off. Probably because The Big Bang Theory (which I actually like) and some celebrities. Of course, when something becomes popular it's going to gain more fans either casual, regular or hardcore. But then there's that one type of "fan" who just wants to look cool or get attention. Sadly, there are some males and females who will pretend to be a massive fan of something to get attention from girls or guys. I hate people like that.
And usually it turns out that those kind of people were the ones who bullied or mocked people for being different in the first place.
