And for another excerpt; Heads-up from JZ

A lot of the fashion accessories that we’ve come to associate with hipsters refer nostalgically to old prototypes of what nerds are supposed to look like. I first remember seeing it in the early ’90s, when I was in high school. Kids were starting to wear big, bulky glasses, and it was understood that they weren’t actually nerds; they were affecting nerdiness in quotation marks, so that you knew they were really un-nerdy. By using nerdiness as a fun way to develop part of their personality, they’re doing precisely what nerds are not able to do, which is master social interaction, and master how they present themselves. More?

Exactly. Now… any Pinoy nerd, hipster, or fake nerd experience? Hmmm…
