nerd culture in the 40's and 50's was stuff like building your own ham radio, reading a lot of sci-fi, doing chemistry experiments, etc. nerd "culture" today seems to be the accumulation of collectible goods produced by corporate conglomerates. what went wrong?

Because star wars became ironically cool for a few months around 2000. Socially inept geeks without the brainpower to have actual hobbies thought this was a renaissance of good taste and then women started wearing fake glasses and 'dorky' star trek tees. All been downhill from there.

Once the internet took off, fatties realized that they could create a “nerd” subculture based basically on what TV/anime they are into and that would permit them to remain fat and unwashed but make it look like a choice.

It is really weird to see 105 IQ “nerds.” See, e.g. , Reddit.

cr and the nerds were ahead of the curve with blogs and shit, even before facebook. constantly "reviewing" the newest electronics and gadgets. This kind of tedious spec-checking and meticulous organizing from best->worst fits in well with their natural autistic tendencies as well
