Nerd is just a classification created by idiots. Myself, am often classified as one. But what keeps "nerds" from classifying jocks or others as "nerds"? Goddamn people..
He was classfied as a nerd just because he liked video gamemusic.
Someone who is more interested in computers or star wars or d&D than fashion, music, or social life. It is not to be one. Please do not be one. I was there and have risen up out of nerddom and am much happier for the fact of that. Please put down the O'Reilly book, turn off Star Wars, put away the Pokemon cards, take off the tie, and start becoming more outgoing. You will thank me.
