To Desecration of Geek/Nerd Identity

I've discussed this with many people I know but I think I'm the only one who is really really really fucking bothered by it. Perhaps I'm looking into this far too much but I sort of enjoyed being a nerd/geek. I played videogames, pc games, and was into random crap. In the last few years of my existence though mainstream world and even the goddamn hipster crowd has taken over what I considered my domain. If you play videogames now a days you could be the huge frat dude, the button down business guy, or even a GIRL!! Hey, I'm all for videogame explosion and I like that more people play.

The bigger deal is things like wearing those T-Shirts that have things that say "OLD SCHOOL" and has a picture of a nintendo controller. Or somehow wearing Chuck Taylor's, a shoe that I was all up on in fifth grade is now standard geek chic/hipster decor. First of all, if you think you can flex nuts with a "OLD SCHOOOL" tshirt and have a nintendo controller you better be able to match wits with me. Have you beaten Super Mario Bros. in under 20 minutes? Have you gotten to MINUS WORLD...sure you know the Konami code, but do you know the name of your arch nemesis in Contra? If you're going to embrace this new geek chic, you better be willing to take the bad with the good. P.S. Thick black framed glasses are officially on my list of things that I don't particularly like now.
