A geek who picks on other geeks to gain favor with jocks in a desperate attempt to escape geekdom and become popular.

Judas geeks rarely feel comfortable around other geeks, never fully accepting their inner desire to partake in geek activities, nor around jocks, whose language and practice they fail to understand and whose physicality they fail to match. The end result is a scrawny, pastry individual in ill-fitted pseudo-fashionable clothes who will backstab anybody to gain a little bit of popularity.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
