It is pretty easy to be a geek today. If you are a girl you have to wear big Harry Caray glasses. If you are a guy you have to not shut the gently caress up about Dr. Who and superhero movies.

you can easily identify them because they steal all the cool poo poo from a particular subculture but have no idea what any of it means

You're just describing white people now.

Geeks have all of a Nerd's socially defective sperginess but none of his actual intelligence. HTH.

be good to nerds because one day that nerd will be your boss unless society continues as it always has and assertiveness and confidence are more likely to advance you in life than intelligence or skill.

Maybe a geek is just a hipster who stole a bunch of poo poo from the nerd subculture but doesn't know what any of it means. Or is that still just a hipster? I don't know.

As my econ professor once said, the difference between geeks and nerds is earning potential.

This analogy relies on you separating hipsters out of the geek category

But then surely jocks should hate nerds, who hate geeks.

Geeks should be at the bottom, because all they do is shovel consumer products into their gaping maw.

Ah yes, the deep and intricate inner workings of fighting games and JRPGs :frogbon:

Geek now a days apparently means you watch Game of Thrones, like "retro" games, and are into gadgets (i.e. buying a new smartphone and tablet). The bar is incredibly low now.

Also geeks are stupid and don't understand any of the theory or inner-workings of the things they profess to love.

Apparently knowing random stuff from different fields of interest without specializing in it makes you a geek. Know stuff about the human body but aren't a doctor? Geek.

Actually yeah kinda. Which is why geeks don't get paid for just being geeks
