Geeky Car Mods

A more recent school of thought sees nerd as being a derogatory phrase, whilst geek is simply a description. It is taken to be someone who is an enthusiast, often in things outside of the mainstream spectrum. It may also describe immersion in a particular mainstream interest to an extreme that is beyond normalcy (e.g. sports geek). Of note is that in this definition, there is no reference to being socially inept in the slightest.
"Geek chic" refers to the embracing of stereotypically unpopular "geek" characteristics such as (taped) glasses, comic books, and video games.
