Try Not To Be Angry

Take Back the Geek

This is a call to action for the world. No longer say, “I’m such a geek, I love [insert cultural emphemera here]!” You are wrong. You are not a geek. Geeks like things that are not cool to like. A geek’s enthusiasm is unflagging, uncomfortable, and unnecessary. It is a passion both invasive and awkward, one that sits for long periods of time, smells funny, and fears all realities not called alternate. You call yourself a geek because you want to be cool, because you think geek is cool. The geek is not cool; only the idea of geek is cool. No one has ever reached ultimate geekness, and no one ever will. Geek is goal. This is geek. All hail the geek.
