Part of the whole nerd thing is being obsessed with things that are no longer relevant because you see it as a higher form of art that your pleb peers simply don't appreciate because they lack the intelligence. This includes dad rock, classical music, renaissance art and antiquated viewpoints on male/female courtship. I was basing it on being obsessed with things a specific 'number of generations' before you. To me, it makes sense that nerds in my generation would be obsessed with (at least partly) different things than nerds in your generation. --- Shout out to http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1060-homework-helpers for helping me understand maths! https://youtu.be/OLNpcjebpNQ #YouAreWelcomeHere <cite>teepan95 posted [p:876594663] in I'm still ...
