I'm wondering why some of those men are considered nerds. Mick Jagger? Really? I mean, I loves me some nerdiness, but I do think that's stretching the definition a bit.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I don't know if they're considered nerds, but I think they're sporting elements of nerd style. Probably more hipster nerd style.

I would have thought that in 1961 or so, a man in a white shirt, no tie, and skinny trousers would have looked hip, even fashion forward, not nerdy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think they're all hip for their times -- icons, even -- but they're in styles that we would now consider nerdy. Except that it's more nerd-chic than actual nerd.

Back then, that would have been considered "casual Mod," wouldn't it?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Isn't "nerd style" an oxymoron, though?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
