NERDS (subculture)

       Hola muchachos!  Bonnie here again.  I've got another amazing blog for all of you to read. The awesome and fantastic topic for this week is...NERDS.  Sorry to disappoint you guys but I'm not talking about the nerds candy.  (sad face)  Nerds are a subculture found in the United States and in many other parts of the world.  Now let us begin our journey into the wonderful world of nerds.
        Most people see nerds as those individuals who are super intelligent, wear braces, and have their pants pulled up past their bellybuttons.  Others may think of the legendary Steve Urkel who starred on Family Matters.   http://youtu.be/BTeOcVelYi0 (check out Steve Urkel in action.)  Today many accused nerds are just those individuals who are super duper smart.  Individuals who wear fashionable clothes, but have straight A's are considered nerds.  Nerds can also be nerdy for different interests.  For example, one may be a nerdy gamer who spends all their time playing video games.  A nerd could also be someone who is obsessed with comic books.  Typically nerds form groups with other nerds who have the same interests or nerds just remain loners.
         In the past nerds were viewed as "uncool" and "ugly" individuals, but today most nerds are liked by the general population.  Most teens want to be nerdy in some way.  A majority of teens wear buttons that say things like, "talk nerdy to me" or "I love nerds".  Today ,mostly teens, want to be nerdy because now they find it as a way to fully express their interests.  Many teens want to form groups with others who have the same interests as them. One becomes a nerd once they are obsessed with a particular activity or interest.
          In my opinion nerds are incredibly intelligent or talented individuals in their particular interest.  Nerds are pretty interesting people because they are so devoted to their particular interest.  I would call myself a nerd gymnast.  I am devoted and spend pretty much all my time doing gymnastics.  I also know almost everything about gymnastics and I enjoy doing this sport.  Last, but not least, I just want to say that NERDS RULE.
