We thought we’d share this gem with you — as a sequel to our popular Are You a Geek or a Nerd piece we ran a few weeks ago. This Evolution of the Geek infographic describes not just the different geek varieties, but their historical origins, too.

We should link out to the bigger version of this : ) I am a music geek and a tech geek by this def, btw.

LoL, by this def I am a GEEK ..of many abilities, shapes, and sizes..
Internet, music, otaku, and D&D for me. Mostly, I’m a command-line junkie. Yours from the ba$h shell, Robert.
I love how the term “geek” is now cool today. This is the first time in my life I can be considered “cool” to a certain degree. :)

Who knew I was so many subtypes? Or that there were so many to be? And (among SO many other things,) I’m even a Chic Geek! Woohoo! =o)
So happy to know that “geek” has been completely redefined. I am a tech geek, a star trek geek, and a food geek and am thrilled to be so “geeky”.
too many of the above!
I’ve come to terms with the fact that the only answer I can come to is “yes”… *sigh* Right there with you Eric!

What a fun piece! I hadn’t really thought about all the types before – a rich set of subcultures!
Unfortunately, I am still just a dork — not enough coolness to rise to geek! Oh well!
You know, I just realized something. I’m a BEER geek. (no slurring of words here. Lol)

I would love to see someone do a follow up on the geek pecking order, or the geek phood chain! Great piece Jeremy, thanks for the fun read.
