< The Fluctuating Coolness of Geekdom
I don't know whether to consider myself lucky or deprived to have never gotten with the "culture" despite possibly qualifying for it in the "interests leaning tech-ward" sense.
I say "lucky" in that I swear "culture" invariably attracts fundamentalists who degrade what was simply a culture into a religion of sorts.
As for me and my house, we shall serve The Tech! :-)
I mean, I'm sure you can understand the impulse for outcasts to congregate (like even here at the Pub) and prior to the 2010s that sense of community among geekier-minded folk was strong.
