Hello, I'm a "geek", nerd. I wear glasses and I like collecting things. I wear t shirts with Geek written on it whilst giving everyone a shot of my cleavage. I like classic rock and have strong tendencies to being weird. Welcome my friends to the generation of the Hipster!
I believe I may have written about this before. A definition of a hipster is someone who follows the latest trends. So why is it that, being a "geek" is suddenly cool? People pride themselves on being "geeks" now. I'm 23 years old so, not that old that I'm out of touch with the world so I apologize for the start of the next sentence...When I was younger, If you were a "geek", you were generally looked down upon. "Go read a book nerd! Playing computer games? On facebook on the time? Go out and play", are some of the slurs which I heard being said to "geeks".
This is mostly a rant but, why don't you people go out and do something productive with your lives? It's all good being a "geek" and being cool and being a sheep but don't then, don't come to me and sprout some Che Guevara quote or wear his t-shirts and protest against whatever your friends are protesting against. I find this really repulsive that people find pride from thinking that, being different is cool and then go post a picture of themselves on instagram giving a peace sign. This is literally an anger rant because it really frustrates me. How the fuck can you be different then be an attention seeking sheep by saying, "LOOK AT ME, I'M DIFFERENT TO EVERYONE".
The counter to this is of course, I'm pretty much doing the same thing. I may not be saying I'm different but considering I'm writing about how people think being different is cool, the smart amongst you will probably know, I'm really against it.
Be different yes, sure, but don't fucking shove it in my face and think that you're not the same as every other zombie out there by posting it on facebook, twitter or whatever.
Rant done.
