.... to be a geek ?
I saw a teenage girl today with a sweatshirt on with GEEK written across the front of it in huge letters
We have also had the rise in the use of glasses by people who don't actually need them, especially those in their teens and early 20s
Does the Big Bang Theory have something to answer for ?  |

I sometimes wonder about teenage fashion but then I guess our parents did when we turned up in whatever was fashion at the time.
Young people need to define themselves as different form the older generations.. and it seems sometimes that whatever is fashion for the older people by definition has to be contrasted by our teenagers - anything to be different and have a unique identity.  |

The big bang theory is great tho. |

The trend for geek chic specs is just getting bigger all the time. I work in an opticians and we sell more of those than anything else. We've also seen a huge increase in people buying specs with plano lenses just for fashion. |

I used to wear specs that I didn't need  I just liked them... now that I do have to wear them, I hate them 
I seem to remember the term 'Chic Geek' being around over a decade ago though, so although it's stepping up these days, it has been OK to be one for quite some time

We're being told off for not having a turntable anymore because vinyl is better than downloading, apparently.
If the geek things leads to improved exam results in science and maths then it's a fashion that's most welcome. |

Yep geek is the new cool - my 12 year old is proud of being a geek and heading the results tables at school and I for one ain't gonna argue with that and yes she also wears a pair of geek glasses with plain glass in. Maybe silly but as long as she's getting the results she is then does it really matter I say |
