The "I'm a Nerd" flex has gotten old

[OldRooster]

It probably has been old for awhile, and I am only now noticing. It has been a thing for at least 15 years. People humble bragging about being a nerd. Many of them are not particularly smart, but they look like a nerd so they try to latch onto the high IQ nerd stereotype to get some status.

Actually, Nerd is an individual that is usually academically and / or intellectually focused and knowledgeable; often neglecting social life in pursuit of knowledge.

It's literally just the norm to have nerdy interests now. Do you know how many people ik that don't present as nerds at all and buy Pokemon games and shit?

because normies realized that "nerd" culture is actually interesting, it just got gentrified lol. People are now self-identifying as nerds when 20 years ago they would be the ones shoving the "nerds" into lockers.
