Geeks? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Just out of curiousity, these are our reasons and lists for being geeks so are there certain "qualities" for the other stereotypes?

By that I mean ones like (excuse my lack of social skills, these may not be correct) trendies(?) townies(?) etc.

Another point, why is it that for a "goth", it is how they look that makes them a "goth"?. For a "grunger" it is how they look. For a "Skater" it is also how they look, so why is it that a "geek" or "nerd" are defined by characteristics, interests and intelligence? Does that make us more accurate to the stereotypes we have been given because they are deeper than face value?
