Question Time

Okay.


So it's cool to be trendy. And trendy to be cool. (Obviously). 


To be a GEEK is now cool. 


Definition provided by Dictionary.com: 
Geek - a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.


Judging on everyday occurrences and teen dramas, most people avoid anyone who fits into this category as if they were carrying herpes. 


So is it only cool to pretend to be a geek? 




I'm not being high and mighty - I purchased 3 pairs of fake glasses and a brown satchel this week. I'm well into this trend.




Just a shame people generally don't go for a true geek. When's it a real nerd's time to get a look in? After all, while we're pretending to be geeks (and trying to be cool?), geeks pretend to be cool and get shunned.




Does anybody else find that quite peculiar?
