The Nerd Uprising

The nerd uprising trend over these past few years has been astounding. Not only is it cool to be a nerd preferably anime or game nerd, but now we have even the worse kind of people who were quote unquote enemies of the nerd now wanting to be nerds which all nerds no the worse nerd is a pretender nerd. The pretender nerd is barely a casual gamer, someone who by the recent trends of bringing back retro games, and also turning them into live action movies, they can name drop megaman, or centipede, pong, tetris (like who doesn't know tetris) and now suddently think they were all into gaming, though exposed when they think retro is the psone games, we were high on nostalgia of up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right , B, A, and jamming on our Atari 2600. Back then we nerds quite often hid ourselves in underground basement table top games of D&D and Magic the gathering, playing on the best layout of the indestructiable black and white gameboy. We were nerds like being a nerd was the prohibition, we smuggled and hid our lifestyle, trying to fit in not all don't be offended I am speculating bringing light to those of us who rather enjoyed the somewhat exclusivness of our subculture. Now our subculture is on the uprise, and now even the girls who didn't give the nerd the time of day and instead went for the media glorified a**hole dangerous adventure type, now finally understand the media glorified a**hole type, even after feeble attempts of training is still the media glorified a**hole type who will someday be the cubicle number cruncher or at his or her level of compentence ends up the mail clerk to the nerd they picked on K-12. Not juse video games no, the rise in popularity of japanimation now called anime is throuoghly exciting as well. For me my first anime exposure was now becoming a live action movie, Blood the last Vampire, and the infamous Akira (KANEEEEEEEDA!, TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!) still to this day no one has offer a satisfactory explanation to this movie, you know its bad when wikipedia just prattles on in the plot to the likes that reveals they can't even unravel its obscurity. So this blog is dedicated to us nerds, noob nerds, uber nerds, and all that inbetween. We are on the uprise, the beauty of the now media glorified nerd is fantastic, we no longer have to pretend to talk about mainstream games, or sports when "The outsiders" come 'round the corner. We can be our dorky, goofy, nerdy, card playing, roleplaying, cosplay wearing (Cosplay girls yes onegai and a big arigatou to that trend uprising, yet that is another post tee-hee) We can play our video games and geek out in all its vast array of entertainment. Now all we need to do is settle this warring states period within our subculture, I will get to that in a later post. What are your comments about our now prescribed coolness and adoption into the world?
