Why is it cool to be a nerd now?

It depends how nerdy..

There's a cool nerd and a non-cool nerd..

It's basically your friends.. if your a nerd who happens not to be in the nerd circle you'll be percieved as the cool nerd who's a little weird but in a good weird way...

but the nerd GROUP will always be looked down on

Being a nerd is not cool in my school.

There are two types of nerds:

1) The real ones who don't have a life, don't get invited to parties, don't care what they wear, etc.

2) The ones who DO have a life and get invited to parties. They are cool, but they're just smart. If you are cool for example, being captain of the basketball team, and you just happen to be smart, you're a "cool nerd".

So yeah. Haha (:

I think maybe the people that made fun of the smart ones are starting to realize that A GOOD majority of nerds are getting the best jobs and are trying to teach their kids that there is NOTHING wrong with being smart.

It PAYS to be intelligent and DO something with it.

well two types of nerd exist ones that look smart but aren't and the ones that are and have lots of money that is why being a nerd is cool now

it isnt really cool to be a nerd even today, but dont listen to people when they make fun of you. *sigh* some people really have nothing better to do than tease other people...

as you get older people care less

I dunno but I see alot of people wearing the big nerd glasses as fashion sense

cuz it just is :P
