Rant on pseudo-geekery.

Post Reply New Topic

There is question as to the difference between a geek and nerd. Some people view geeks more as someone with a specialization. Examples would include comic book geeks, computer geeks, science geeks, ect. The idea that a geek is a nerd with social skills is popular.

I've always thought that geeks are the ones who are fixated on one particular subject, while nerds are those who have a passion for studying subjects and prefer spending their time doing that instead of socializing. A nerd can enjoy studying many subjects at once while a geek is obsessed with one topic in particular.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when someone argued about the exclusivity of being a geek and what a real geek is.

Nothing changes, just the labels.
