    Nerds are people who pursue intellectual or technical interests rather than social activities, and are often seen as awkward loners. While nerds are stereotyped as shy and unattractive outsiders, the term is now commonly used by those in popular culture to seem unique, even though true nerds cannot simply imitate the label by choice or for popularity.

    Nerd is a term that refers to a person who avidly pursues intellectual activities, technical or

    scientific endeavors, esoteric knowledge, or other obscure interests, rather than engaging in more
    social or conventional activities. It often carries a derogatory connotation or stereotype. The nerd
    may be awkward, shy and unattractive. Therefore, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity
    and considered a loner by peers, or will tend to associate with like-minded people.
     
    Although the idea of nerds is popular, those adopting the characteristics of nerds are not actually
    nerds by definition. One cannot be an authentic nerd by imitation alone; a nerd is an outsider and
    someone who is unable or unwilling to follow trends. Popular culture is borrowing the concept
    and image of nerds in order to stand out as individuals.
