Geeks are what we used to call soyboys before the word soyboy was invented. They are basically mainstream people who think they're niche by liking stereotypically nerdy things while also following the latest trends. They may also be referred to as hipsters or millennials.

A typical geek is a man born in the 1980s, who works as a software engineer in San Francisco, California. He wears a greyish green turtleneck sweater, designer glasses, and cargo pants. He is kept up with the latest developments in science, technology, and space exploration, and typically equips himself with the latest trendy new gadget. His favorite music is a 2010s alt rock band that he collects their records in vinyl form. He enjoys Star Wars, Rick & Morty and Marvel comic books, he drinks the latte from Starbucks for breakfast and is an avid user of Reddit. He has generally moderate left-wing liberal views and votes for the Democrats.

Nerd

The Nerd-Geek conflict in a nutshell

Geeks are not to be confused with nerds, who, in turn, are the proto-chuds. Nerds are obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons, mathematics, comic books, and other generally obscure shit. However, unlike the geek, the nerd is typically a complete loser, hopelessly unpopular with girls and doesn't even have the courage to speak to one, and gets bullied a lot by his highschool jock (the proto-chad). The stereotypical nerd might also have various allergies and phobias and maybe seen in braces.

Nerds typically dislike that their favorite things are being co-opted by geeks, because they used to get bullied for liking it but now that they're mainstream, it feels unfair to them.
