When Geek became cool

[LexCorp]

Yeah not in US. I am a geek but I don't act like it. Thats what allows you to get by. When you aren't open about it, people let live.

I try not to say I am a geek. Even in childhood I look back and think I was many things. People tend to say I am geeky as my intrests are like so many of you on the hype. But it has been around for a long time...

Ancient Greek philosophers were just geeks hanging around and chatting about life just as we do now on the hype

Dude, if you go on HYPE, like comics and own them, have any type of action figure/ model/ bust of anything sci-fi or superhero like, or have comic/sci-fi posters in your room, you're a geek.

I show my geek side all the time which is why I guess I get the geek label...but only in mind...I happen to be 6ft 3 and 14.8 ST so I do not fit the geek build in appearence. lol

What is 14.8ST?

What is 14.8ST?

Ah yes....14 and a half stone in the UK about 200 pounds I think in the USA.

Ah Wow. I'm 5' 8 and 155lbs. Thats pretty high. I am heavier than 75% of my age and height group. Muscle rules.

Bill Gates gives hope to millions of ugly guys with glasses that hack in their spare time.

Rivers Cuomo's fascination with japanese chicks pretty much secured that coupling, so you'll see many a dorky geek with a fine ass asian babe. And no, I don't count. I'm not dorky.

The title of this thread should have been, "When Geek Became Sheek"....that would have been more memorable.

 

[Showtime]

Better ring to it.

 

[LexCorp]

Better ring to it.

Indeed. I think we have setled on the fact that geeks are OK.

cyberpunk + the office + seth rogan movies + Frank Miller/Simpsons/Transformers blockbusters = geek acceptance

At least for now. I expect a backlash is in the works.
