Novelty Nerd

An individual who goes beyond normal means to be portrayed as a nerd for the social acceptance/"cool factor" while having no actual "nerd" characteristics. Said person will dress like a nerd (faux glasses, 80's apparel, etc...) and throw out the occasional Star Wars or Star Trek reference, but has probably only seen one move/episode.
I asked Joe to fix my laptop, but it turns out he's just a novelty nerd and doesn't really know anything about computers.

Music Nerd

One who is quite knowledgeable about music. Every time they get engaged in an arguement about music, they win. They usually play at least one instrument and are good at it. They can read and/or improv really well. They seem (and probably do) to know the answers to just about every bit of music trivia. They also seem to have heard everything and know about all the cool bands before you and everyone else.
Person 1: "Have you heard this really cool song by this really cool band?"
Person 2: "Of course! I heard it the day after it came out!"
Person 1: "You're such a music nerd!"
Person 2: "I know! Should I start learning mandolin or bassoon next week? I can't decide..."
Person 1: "Well, you ALREADY play at least 27 instrument... But I'd go with bassoon."
