Can you tell the difference between a Nerd and a Geek?
I'm not a Nerd. I'm a Geek. Contrary to what a lot of people think, there's a difference. While it may be true that both Geeks and Nerds share similar interests in technology and science, they're completely different in one key area, social interests.
Nerds tend to be introverts, and are very quiet and shy, whereas Geeks are social butterflies who love to share their Geeky passions with anyone and everyone. Whereas Nerds find it hard speaking up at a party, Geeks won't think twice about running around in a Batman cape while eating in a French restaurant. That's a pretty big difference.
Geeks also tend to explore all sorts of strange passions. There are Music Geeks, Camping Geeks, Movie Geeks, Japanese Anime Geeks, and all sorts of other social activities.
While both tend to find their way into tech jobs, Geeks often find their way into more creative positions. So while it takes a Nerd to design a great computer database, it's the Geek that makes it a program people can actually use and understand.
Geeks and Nerds tend to dress alike, but don't expect a Nerd to have long hair, a beard, piercings, or a tattoo. That's the territory of the Geek... and a Hipster. From the outside, it may be hard to tell the difference between a Geek and a Hipster, but they are not interchangeable.
Hipsters are all about style. They're a bit like a Geek Poser. They love the style, but lack the science.
