Recently, NERD has evolved into a more positive term that simply describes someone with a passion for something (i.e., a science NERD, a music NERD, or a food NERD). It is even starting to take on a cool edge, and increasingly more people are happy to have themselves labelled as a NERD.

Why being a nerd is a good thing?

Being a nerd means that you understand what goes on in the world and where your place is among it all. Youll be true to yourself, even through difficult times and because of that youll encourage others to be the same.
