I use to have more care for math and science but I don't really care anymore.  Pretty much just animooo and mangooooo now.

Mango?

It's the same as it was with the emo/goth movement that came before this, people dress and act like it because everyone is doing it while the very small "troo" population rages about the fake ones, it'll blow over in a few years when people find something else to be.Untill then just pretend it isn't happening

Try being Asian.
Actually, try being any race besides white. This happens to some extent in all of them.

I try, but I just can't do it.  I feel left out.

Simply:



Once upon a time being a geek mean being a social outcast with an obsession over stuff few people even cared about, akin to a nerd, today they're even sexual objects, go figure :P

Being sort of a true geek, I could care less :P

Well, if that's the case, might as well take advantage of the situation while it lasts, amiright? While it's a fad, and we're already part of it naturally, we might as well embrace the opportunity while it lasts.

Most movie characters are sexualized, period. Do you think that male action stars are shirtless half the time because the movie's story requires it?
Art imitates life...or maybe my life just imitates art.

Maybe I do change my own plot to include more shirtless scenes. Wait, wouldn't that still be art imitating life?

Except not because while the trend is making tech-savvy urban hipsters attractive, "true" geeks are still going to be social outcasts.

What the hell does OP have against Greeks anyway? IMO they are a great people, if sort of indebted at the moment.

Pretty much this.

That is either a terrible pun or a legendarily bad case of poor reading comprehension.

But if it isn't even going to affect "real" geeks, then who cares?

You're not really geeky anymore if you like Apple as a brand. Steve Jobs is a bad man.
