I've noticed a really annoying new trend of people pretending to be geeky to be cool i.e. the geek chic trend. Now this may seem like good news for us geeks and nerds out there; that geeky is the new cool. However what's cool is not real geekism. People have examined what used to be considered geeky (e.g. Star Wars, Nintendo, the internet) and realized that everyone likes those things so people are now thinking they are geeks because they've played Super Mario Brothers a couple times in there life. This grinds my gears because like with any other clique there is a certain amount of exclusivity with our group. The reason we ARE geeks is because we don't want to be associated with the main stream people. People are getting a skewed view off geeks and have no clue what's involved with being a real geek. Another issue with this geek chic trend is this skewed view presents another problem. People think geeks are geeks about EVERY POSSIBLE CONCEIVABLE geeky thing.
