Oddly I thought it was the exact opposite. Geeks are really into things that are considered uncool but are really useful, like computers and maths. Nerds are really into things that are uncool but not useful, like comics and video games. It's the latter that went mainstream because it's easy. Anyone can do it. But being a geek requires one to be a bit "special".

It used to have a lot more to do with time spent at the library. Nerds are bookish.

Now libraries have conference rooms (where you might play D&D) and computers and movies to check out. Invasion of the geeks!
