It is pretty damn annoying. Even though you dawned a pair of glasses with thick rims and play the occasional video game, you are not a nerd. You still failed physics 101.

I see the acceptance of the 'nerd' culture, but it's not like society is encouraging high levels of education or creativity than it ever was. So the fad really left the valuable part of being a nerd behind, which isn't really surprising.
