under the bridge

i know i haven't updated in forever and i will get around to that, but for now:

can anyone think of an interesting trend or phenomenon that has been happening (relatively) recently? for example zombie walk, return to 3D, rise of arranged marriages, etc.

The apotheosis of geek culture/identity.

[yamakasi]

what do you have in mind when you say that?

[iamjericho]

Nowadays, geek is the new cool. Geek know-how, geek fashion ("geek chic"), gadgets, design, retro-geek-nostalgia, and the misappropriation of geek culture in general.

Geeks used to be simply geeks; now there are hierarchies and classifications of geek: food geek, comic book geek, furniture geek, etc.
